Small-cap stocks are those companies that have a market capitalisation of fewer than two billion dollars. Though small, these companies contain huge growth potential and sometimes offer life-changing growth unmatched even to large-cap companies.
Moreover, since these are low priced, these companies are quite popular among investors.
That said, let us now look at the five NZX-listed small-cap stocks.
