When it comes to small caps, investors tend to fall into two camps: those who see risk and those who see opportunity. With a small-cap comeback underway, the latter camp might just be onto something. While this part of the market can be volatile and under-researched, it’s also fertile ground for stock pickers with a sharp eye and thick skin. In this episode of Buy Hold Sell, Livewire’s Anna Dadic is joined by Matt Griffin from Maple Brown Abbott and Luke Laretive from Seneca Financial Solutions to uncover where they’re spotting value in today’s small-cap landscape. From sector-level trends to the traits that separate a potential winner from a flop, these two fundies share how they’re navigating a dynamic market full of hidden gems and hopefuls. We put three small-cap names under the microscope, with our guests weighing in on which ones still have room to run and which might have already had their moment. They also each share a high-conviction pick they believe could outperform over the next 12 months. This interview was filmed on Wednesday 8 October 2025.
