10 Micro Cap Value Stocks

On a monthly basis I conduct a close replication of AAII's (American Association of Individual Investors) Shadow Stock screen. The goal is to find small, undervalued stocks with high price momentum over the past 52 weeks.

The screen and date below is courtesy of Stockscreen123. I use the following screen criteria to identify high momentum value stocks:

No over-the-counter stocks

No financial stocks

Market cap > $20 Million and < $200 million

Previous EBITDA quarter and trailing twelve months are positive

Share price > $1

Price/book < .80

Price/sales < 1.2

Top 10 stocks are selected based on highest 52 week returns

Minimum average daily volume > 5k shares

The results for this month are at the bottom of the article.

April's list returned an average of 3.67% (excluding dividends, commissions, and taxes), primarily because of the 1 month return of Fuwei Films (FFHL) which returned 108.44%. Fuwei Films remains on this month's list; it plunged in April after receiving a delisting notification from Nasdaq. However, on May 19th the company received notification the delisting notification had been withdrawn and the company would resume trading on The Nasdaq.

Silverleaf Resorts (SVLF) also has high price momentum and solid fundamentals. However, in February SVLF's board agreed to sell SVLF to Cerberus Capital Management for $2.50/share. Thus, any position in SVLF at this point will only serve to place you in the middle of an acquisition with little upside (unless shareholders are successful in fighting the sale of the company). K-Sea Transportation Partners (KSP) announced in March it is being acquired by Kirby Corporation for $335 million. Again, any position in KSP could offer little upside at this point.
