April 1st
Greetings Readers,
April Fools' Day? Well, nothing was fooling my latest breakout idea.
A Nasdaq profile flying under Wall Street's radar, this quick-hitter erupted after the opening bell.
From a previous night's after-hours close of $.5128, it blasted vertically up to $.6884 on Tuesday.
When the dust settled, that Nasdaq idea had shown the market what's up to the tune of approx. 34% short term.
Meanwhile, not one to sit around on my hands, I've uncovered a new breakout idea to consider immediately.
Soak this in...
First off, this is a low float idea.
With fewer than 4Mn shares in its float, volatility potential could be extremely heightened.
Secondly, this profile has only recently started trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
That means they could be seen to have enhanced credibility, broader visibility, and access to more capital and liquidity.
But most importantly could be Tuesday's massive announcement...
This company just announced it's targeting an operating company revenue run rate by the end of 2025 of $100Mn after announcing revenue growth of 8% in Q4 year-over year.
Consider this newly minted Nasdaq idea for your radar immediately:
*Capstone Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: CAPS)*
Capstone Holding Corp. is a building products distribution company that has successfully grown its business organically and through well-timed acquisitions.
They intend to use the distribution backbone of their operating subsidiary, which currently services 31 US states, to provide a value-added platform to make acquisitions.
A key differentiator of Capstone's strategy is that it maintains over half of its revenue from brands it owns or controls.
And based on several potential catalysts, CAPS has found its way to the top of my watchlist. Check them out:
No. 1 - A Low Float Could Create An Environment For Heightened Volatility.
No. 2 - Huge News Tuesday Points To An Ambitious Company With A Major Revenue Target.
No. 3 - A Recent Uplisting To The Nasdaq CM Could Provide Significantly More Visibility For The Company.
No. 4 - Thin Brick Veneer Product Group Grows Over 30% At Company's Instone Business.
But more on those in a second...

And mentioned above, (Nasdaq: CAPS) has multiple potential catalysts to consider immediately. Take a look:
No. 1 CAPS Potential Catalyst - A Low Float Could Create An Environment For Heightened Volatility.
According to info from the Finviz website, CAPS has a fairly small float.
In fact, the website reports this profile to have approximately 3.41Mn shares in its float.
Why is that important? It's important on one crucial level. Volatility potential.
