Small-cap stocks are taking the COVID-19 crisis harder than the big boys. The Schwab Fundamental U.S. Small Company Index exchange-traded fund is trading 16% lower in 2020 while the broader S&P 500 index gained 2% over the same period. On the upside, these drops can set investors up for strong returns if and when these stocks make a full recovery.
Here are three small-cap stocks that haven't exactly crushed the market in 2020, even though their long-term business prospects look strong. Locking in these little-known winners at today's low share prices will pay off through impressive returns for years to come.
