Explore two small-cap AI stocks trading under $5 that may offer investment potential in the tech sector

Washington: So, there’s this podcast episode where Tracey Ryniec chats with Mark Zinski about two small-cap companies diving into AI. And guess what? Their stocks are both under $5!
They’re focusing on software solutions—one’s all about regulatory data, while the other is in healthcare. It’s interesting to think if these AI tools might be better investments than the usual infrastructure stuff like chips and data centers.
First up is FiscalNote Holdings, trading under the ticker NOTE. They provide global policy and market intelligence software. Their market cap is around $168 million, and they’re currently a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock. It’s a steal for an AI stock, trading at less than 3x sales, while many big names are at 10x or more.
Then there’s iCAD Inc., or ICAD for short. This company has a market cap of $52 million and offers an AI-powered mammography analysis tool. It’s used in over 50 countries, helping thousands of providers and millions of patients. They saw a 4% revenue increase recently, which is pretty solid.
Both companies have unique offerings, and it’s worth considering if they should be on your watch list. If you want to know more about these stocks, check out the podcast!
Oh, and just a heads up—Mark owns shares of both NOTE and ICAD, but Tracey doesn’t own either. Just keeping it transparent!
