MTOR - 6 Smaller-Cap Stocks to Buy Right Now
The six stocks discussed all have market caps less than $10 billion and all look like good values -- but that's about all they have in common. Let's take a closer look at what makes these stocks attractive to investors.
They range from those with relatively safe end-markets like infrastructure maintenance machinery company Alamo Group (NYSE: ALG) to those with highly cyclical end-markets like axle, gear, and brake manufacturer Meritor (NYSE: MTOR) and automation and power transmission company Altra Industrial (NASDAQ: AIMC).
Industrial software company PTC (NASDAQ: PTC) looks like it has a favorable secular tailwind from spending on smart factories, while aviation services company AAR (NYSE: AIR) looks relatively undervalued in its sector. Finally, marine engine and boat manufacturer Brunswick (NYSE: BC) offers investors a way to play the theme of an aging U.S. demographic that is spending more money on leisure.
