Overview

Despite the popularity of artificial intelligence (AI) stocks on Wall Street, there are still some opportunities in the sector that most investors haven't noticed yet. Finding them before everyone else can help you to achieve market-beating returns.

M-Tron Industries (NYSEMKT: MPTI) might be one of those stocks. It's a small cap, but at least in some parts of the market, it's not quite undiscovered anymore, because those in the know have bid it up. The stock has more than doubled year to date, and it's a 13-bagger since it was spun off as a separate company in late 2022. The company recently secured a $6.8 million follow-on order for counter-drone radar programs, but that's just the tip of the iceberg for this company, which still has a market cap below $400 million.
