As the new year comes, market activity often becomes less about headlines and more about positioning for what may follow.

Themes like AI infrastructure, energy transitions, and shifting rate expectations have dominated much of the conversation last year. But historically, some of the most informative signals tend to emerge quietly well before they become part of the broader narrative.

To capture what we’re seeing to start the new year, Market Maven Insights has released a new research briefing highlighting three small-cap companies currently showing early changes in activity and attention.

In this year's briefing, we outline:

• Signs of incremental momentum in select, lesser-known AI-related names
• Energy-focused setups developing beneath broader sector trends
• Small-cap profiles sensitive to inflation and rate expectations showing renewed interest

These developments aren’t front-page stories, and at this stage, they rarely are. That’s why we document them now, while the data is still forming.

Access the Briefing.

This complimentary report is available as we start out the year and transition into the next market cycle.

Best regards,

Sincerely,
Tate Remington
