From Nasdaq:

The AI rush in tech has benefited large-cap companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Nvidia. However, don’t overlook the Russell 2000 Index for small-cap opportunities. Consider investing in Semtech and Matador Resources for potential growth. Semtech focuses on analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, despite a slight dip in adjusted EPS. Matador has seen strong revenue growth and consistent dividend payments, with plans for further expansion. Both stocks are rated as “strong buys” by Wall Street analysts. Semtech has an average price target of $31.40, suggesting a potential upside of 54.6%, while Matador has an average target price of $70.09, implying a 15.4% increase. Analysts see potential for significant gains in both stocks over the next 12 months.
