In a recent development, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has lambasted President Joe Biden for the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, suggesting it served as a &#8220;green light&#8221; for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
What Happened: McConnell expressed his disapproval on Fox News&#8217;s &#8220;America&#8217;s Newsroom&#8221; following the Senate&#8217;s approval of an aid package for Ukraine after a long delay, <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/international/4619508-mcconnell-hits-biden-for-sending-a-green-light-to-putin-with-afghanistan-withdrawal/">reported</a> The Hill.
McConnell asserted that the Afghanistan exit was a major misstep by Biden, indicating weakness globally. McConnell has consistently opposed the withdrawal since 2021, describing it as &#8220;one of the worst foreign policy decisions in American history.&#8221;
&#8220;We kept the lid on terrorism there. We shouldn't have withdrawn the troops,&#8221; said McConnell in the Fox interview. &#8220;When we did, that was like sending a green light to Putin, who was already thinking seriously about moving his troops up against the border."
Post-withdrawal, Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has frequently requested more aid from a divided Congress. The recently approved package will provide $61 billion to Ukraine for its war.

Trump: One Candidate Outperforms His 2020 Numbers As The Other Loses Support Among 2 Key Voter Categories</a>
Why It Matters: The U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan has been a contentious issue. Gen. Frank McKenzie, former commander of the U.S. Central Command, warned of an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38016471/former-top-general-sounds-alarm-on-rising-isis-threat-to-us-bemoans-bidens-afghanistan-withdrawal">escalating ISIS threat</a> to the U.S. following the withdrawal.
President Biden, at the time, defended his decision, arguing that remaining in an endless war was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/21/08/22524333/biden-defends-afghanistan-withdrawal-blames-kabuls-fall-on-afghan-military-leaders-and-trump">not in the best interests</a> of the American people.
However, Secretary of State Antony Blinken admitted in 2023 that the U.S. was not <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31709570/blinken-says-us-wasnt-fully-prepared-for-afghanistan-crisis-as-white-house-puts-blame-on-donald-trum">fully prepared</a> for the fall of Kabul.
Recently, Russia warned of a &#8216;humiliating fiasco&#8217; for the U.S. in its support for Ukraine, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/04/38349780/russia-foresees-humiliating-fiasco-for-us-in-ukraine-support-kremlin-drops-vietnam-and-afghanistan-r">drawing parallels</a> with Vietnam and Afghanistan.

Biden's Afghanistan Exit Slammed By Mitch McConnell: 'Like Sending A Green Light' To Russian President

The U.S. Supreme Court is preparing to review a case on Thursday that questions if former President Donald Trump can assert immunity from prosecution for actions carried out during his term in office.
What Happened: This case is the first of its kind where the Supreme Court is examining an appeal from one of Trump&#8217;s four criminal indictments. Trump&#8217;s defense, which claims immunity from prosecution even post-presidency, has been rejected by two lower courts previously, <a href="https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4618415-supreme-court-to-consider-whether-president-trump-is-immune-from-prosecution/">reported</a> The Hill.
Three justices on the bench, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett, were nominated by Trump. However, the court&#8217;s verdict could potentially challenge Trump&#8217;s assertion that he should not be prosecuted.
Critics argue that a ruling favoring Trump could disrupt the balance of power in the U.S., giving undue authority to presidents during and after their term. Conversely, Trump maintains that the presidency cannot operate without immunity, as it would expose officeholders to extortion and unfair retribution.
&#8220;It's so fundamental to the presidency, where a president is truly trying to corrupt the system and perpetuate himself in office,&#8221; said John Dean, former White House counsel to President Richard Nixon, according to the report.
Jack Smith, the special counsel leading the federal prosecutors, argues that presidents, like all citizens, should be accountable for their actions. He dismisses the idea that this would weaken presidential power.

Will He Go To Prison? — Here&#8217;s How It&#8217;s Likely To Play Out</a>
The Supreme Court&#8217;s decision timing could greatly affect the progress of Trump&#8217;s other criminal cases, particularly if he regains the presidency in the forthcoming election. The case is also being monitored for its potential impact on the scheduling of Trump&#8217;s trials.
Legal experts have observed that the lower courts&#8217; strong disapproval of Trump&#8217;s arguments might suggest a similar reaction from the conservative-majority Supreme Court. The justices&#8217; position will become more apparent when they convene on Thursday.
Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s Supreme Court case, focusing on presidential immunity amid criminal charges for election interference, had strategic implications. While the Court might not fully support Trump&#8217;s immunity claim, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38348880/donald-trump-could-still-win-even-if-he-loses-in-supreme-court-over-presidential-immunity-claim">redirection to a lower court</a>, potentially delaying proceedings, aligned with his interests. The case, involving false election certificates submitted by Trump, could have seen further delays and nuanced rulings regarding presidential immunity.
Adding to the complexity, Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38262159/trumps-request-to-attend-supreme-court-hearing-barrons-high-school-graduation-denied-by-hush-money-t">request to attend</a> the Supreme Court arguments was denied amidst his ongoing hush money trial in New York, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38262159/trumps-request-to-attend-supreme-court-hearing-barrons-high-school-graduation-denied-by-hush-money-t">Benzinga</a> earlier this month.

Trump's Presidential Immunity Claim Under Supreme Court Review: 'It's So Fundamental To The Presidency'

Former President Donald Trump&#8217;s close allies, including Boris Epshteyn, Mark Meadows, and Rudy Giuliani, have been indicted by an Arizona grand jury. The indictment pertains to their alleged involvement in attempts to overturn the 2020 election results.
What Happened: The Arizona grand jury handed down an indictment against several individuals associated with Trump&#8217;s 2020 campaign. These individuals stand accused of trying to subvert the election results, including the fraudulent electors from Arizona, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2024/04/24/politics/arizona-criminal-charges-2020-election-subversion/index.html">reported</a> CNN on Wednesday.
Among the indicted are Epshteyn, a former White House aide and one of Trump&#8217;s closest advisers, former White House chief of staff Meadows, and former New York Mayor Giuliani, as per a source familiar with the investigation, according to CNN .

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes announced the indictment on Wednesday night, focusing on the 11 individuals who acted as pro-Trump electors in the state. The names of several other indicted defendants remain redacted until they have been served, Mayes stated.
While Trump himself has not been charged in Arizona, the indictment details suggest he is referred to as &#8220;Unindicted Coconspirator 1&#8221;.
Why It Matters: The indictment of Trump&#8217;s allies in Arizona marks a significant development in the ongoing legal battles surrounding the 2020 election. 
In an interview with Fox News in August 2023, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga), a staunch Trump supporter, suggested that the ex-president could potentially <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/33956035/marjorie-taylor-greene-says-donald-trump-may-face-fifth-indictment-in-arizona?itm_source=parsely-api">face a fifth indictment</a>, this time in Arizona, based on a similar alleged fraudulent elector scheme aimed at undermining President Joe Biden&#8217;s narrow victory in the state.

WNBA star Brittney Griner is sharing her story for the first time about spending 10 months in a Russian prison in a special edition of 20/20.
In a clip of the emotional interview, Griner shared her experience of having been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/03/26007231/breaking-russia-detains-wnba-all-star-brittney-griner-for-alleged-possession-of-hash-oil">arrested and incarcerated</a> after a small amount of cannabis oil was found in her suitcase at a Moscow airport. At the time, Feb. 17, 2022 — just one week before Russia invaded Ukraine — Griner was heading back to Russia where she played for seven years during the off-season from her U.S. team, a center for the Phoenix Mercury.
"I was just so scared for everything because there&#8217;s so much unknown," Griner <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/wnba-star-brittney-griner-opens-harrowing-russian-detention/story?id=109495984">told</a> ABC's&nbsp;Robin Roberts,&nbsp;co-anchor of&nbsp;Good Morning America.
Roberts asked Griner what was going on in her mind when she realized that the cannabis cartridges were found in her luggage. Griner, a medical marijuana patient in the U.S., said she realized immediately that her mistake could have devastating consequences.
"My life is over right here," Griner answered. 
Griner admitted that the conditions were so terrible that she had thoughts of ending her life. "The mattress had a huge blood stain on it. I had no soap, no toilet paper. That was the moment where I just felt less than a human," she told Roberts. "I just didn&#8217;t think I could get through what I needed to get through.&#8221;

Brittney Griner Talks For The First Time About Her Russian Detention In Exclusive '20/20' Special

For the first time in more than 130 years, voters will likely choose between two candidates with presidential experience for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">2024 presidential election.</a>
Here's a look at who voters in swing states currently favor in a 2020 election rematch of Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
What Happened: A close race is expected between Biden and Trump in the 2024 election based on election polls <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/04/38417836/trump-and-biden-get-ready-2024-election-betting-odds-point-to-major-showdown">and betting odds.</a>
Key demographics like young voters and old voters could play an important role in the election, along with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/swing-states">key swing states.</a>
A new poll of voters in swing states shows Biden gaining ground over Trump, who has led the way in these key states in recent months.
Here are the results of the recent swing state <a href="https://pro.morningconsult.com/analysis/swing-state-polling-april-2024">poll </a>from Morning Consult for the month of April, with the results from March in parentheses.
Arizona: 49% Trump (48%), 42% Biden (43%)
Georgia: 49% Trump (49%), 43% Biden (42%)
Michigan: 47% Biden (45%), 45% Trump (45%)
Nevada: 51% Trump (46%), 43% Biden (44%)
North Carolina: 51% Trump (49%), 41% Biden (43%)
Pennsylvania: 47% Trump (45%), 46% Biden (45%)
Wisconsin: 48% Trump (45%), 44% Biden (46%)

Why It's Important: The new poll shows Trump gaining support in Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Trump has some of his biggest leads in Arizona, Nevada and North Carolina since polling began in October 2023 for the swing states.
Biden gained support in Georgia, Michigan and Pennsylvania, but lost support in several states. The key win for the current president is taking a lead in Michigan for the first time since polling began in October.
The new poll also showed Biden gaining voter trust on several items including Medicare and Social Security.
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/03/37884006/trump-vs-biden-key-swing-states-arizona-nevada-michigan-wisconsin-show-close-races-heres-the-rol">seven swing states </a>together represent 93 electoral votes in the 2024 election. Six of the seven swing states were won by Biden in the 2020 election, with Trump winning North Carolina. Five of the seven swing states won by Biden in 2020 flipped from Trump to Biden in the election, including Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin.

Trump Vs. Biden: Former President Dominates Swing States, But Loses One For First Time In New 2024 Election Poll

If you're the parent of a child under 12 and have streaming platform Disney+, there's a good chance you've watched Australian <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/12/36400565/is-disneys-percy-jackson-reboot-a-streaming-sensation-the-impact-of-new-shows-and-blueys-tr">animated hit &#8220;Bluey.</a>&#8220;
The show is turning in big numbers for Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>), but the company also hinted at the show ending or having less content going forward.
What Happened: Streaming platform Disney+, part of the Walt Disney Company, has one of the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/04/38024244/appletv-a-streaming-winner-new-survey-shows-platform-has-smallest-library-highest-rated-con"> largest content libraries</a> of family-based content, which is a draw to getting adults with children to subscribe to the platform.
Among the hit shows on Disney+ is the Australian show "Bluey," with Disney having the rights in the U.S. The show has drawn praise from kids and from parents, thanks to its relatable storylines.
On April 14, Disney+ aired the episode "The Sign" from the third season of the show. At 28 minutes, the episode was around three times longer than most episodes.
The episode had 10.4 million views globally in its first week on Disney+, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/bluey-the-sign-ratings-disney-plus-1235879242/">according </a>to The Hollywood Reporter. This ranked as the most-watched episode in the show's history and had the biggest viewership for a Disney Junior show on Disney+.
This episode and its predecessor "Ghostbasket" left fans asking questions about the future as the Heeler family featured on "Bluey" dealt with a potential sale of their home and a move to another city.
Fans were treated to a surprise with the season 3 finale episode appropriately titled, "Surprise."
The episode included a flash forward to main character Bluey as an adult and with a child —&nbsp;leaving more questions about if the show is ending, as many voiced on social media that it felt more like a series finale than a season finale.

What's Next: Show creator Joe Brumm told The Hollywood Reporter in 2023 that the BBC, which originally commissioned the show alongside Australia's ABC, to not talk about the kids' voices or the future of the show.&nbsp;
Brumm has also said he's taking a break after the third season, which added to the speculation about the show's future.&nbsp;
A producer of "Bluey" recently confirmed to <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-68795941">BBC </a>that the show will return in the future. Another producer also said it would be a "dream" to make a movie based on Bluey and her family in the future.
"Bluey" debuted on the streaming platform in 2020, becoming one of the most-watched shows in the U.S. on streaming platforms. Data from Nielsen showed the series had an average of 1.19 billion minutes viewed per week across a three-season library of 150 episodes.
The children's show is the most streamed show in the U.S. in 2024 based on viewing time tracked by Nielsen. The show ranked second in 2023 and sixth in 2022.
The show has been a huge hit for Disney and a gap between seasons or an end to the show could eliminate one of the key pieces of content.&nbsp;
In a highly competitive streaming market, platforms need shows like "Bluey" that aren't available other places and are must-watch content for at least one age demographic.
With its appeal to kids and parents alike, "Bluey" hits multiple demographics.

In June 2022, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced a deal had finally been reached to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/01/24932856/new-york-gov-kathy-hochul-pledges-200m-to-boost-social-equity-efforts-as-part-of-cannabis-legali">fund a $200 million public-private effort</a>, which would finance cannabis dispensaries run by the people who have been the most impacted by the war on drugs.
The much-anticipated public-private fund is now coming under scrutiny following an <a href="https://www.thecity.nyc/2024/04/24/cannabis-fund-social-equity-dispensary/">investigation</a> by THE CITY&#8217;s Rosalind Adams, which uncovered a "lopsided deal" favoring the private equity firm Chicago Atlantic Group and raising concerns about the state's social equity goals. 
The agreement heavily favors Chicago Atlantic, leaving the state exposed to significant risks, noted the outlet.
Even the New York Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) cast doubts on the fund&#8217;s viability according to internal OCM documents that questioned whether the deal had overstated the potential revenue and profit potential.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What Happened</h1>
New York state, unable to secure a private equity partner, agreed to a $50 million loan from Chicago Atlantic at a 15% interest rate, with all risk borne by the state.
Critics, including Reinvent Albany, an organization that advocates for government transparency and accountability, deemed the deal to have been detrimental to the state and prospective dispensary owners. Legal experts and consultants likened it to distressed debt lending.
Despite the skepticism and advice against the arrangement, negotiations ultimately led to a secret agreement benefiting Chicago Atlantic.
Previously, THE CITY revealed how cannabis licensees who accept loans from the social equity fund are burdened with high construction costs that they don't control and with interest rates that exceed the state's initial estimates.
"Everyone is worried about defaulting because of the rules and regulations of this loan," said Roland Conner, who runs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/01/30496199/ny-gov-hochul-announces-opening-of-first-cannabis-shop-owned-by-person-impacted-by-war-on-drugs">Smacked on Bleecker Street</a> in Greenwich Village, the first legal dispensary owned by a person affected by the drug war.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Who's Responsible?</h1>
Details of the deal are still secret, with New York state authorities denying Freedom of Information Law requests. The state comptroller&#8217;s office and key lawmakers say they were not informed or involved in the making of the deal, exposing a shocking lack of oversight.
Meanwhile, Chicago Atlantic secured favorable terms, including leasing rights and a $100 million commitment for property development, raising yet more concerns about profiteering at the expense of marginalized communities.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Corruption Or Ineptitude?</h1>
The handling of New York&#8217;s cannabis program seems to reflect a corrosive mix of both ineptitude and potential corruption. While officials may have sought to support marginalized groups, their actions suggest a lack of due diligence and transparency.
One element of the story, which you can read in full <a href="https://www.thecity.nyc/2024/04/24/cannabis-fund-social-equity-dispensary/">here</a>, is that social equity applicants are furious.
A Queens shop owner, Dalessio, who was awarded a retail license designated for people impacted by past drug convictions told THE CITY that after a year of back and forth with the fund, he walked away from the deal.
"It just left such a bad taste in my mouth. I warned everyone I could to stay away from this deal," he said.

March Recap: Small Cap AI Stocks Down 17%

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Investing in a high-growth domain such as artificial intelligence (<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ai-stock-quote/">AI</a>) is great if you&rsquo;re seeking perpetual gains. However, financial markets are quickly priced in, meaning the bigger names, such as Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/amd-stock-quote/" target="_blank">AMD</a>), probably won&rsquo;t provide you with the AI-growth story you&rsquo;re looking for.



AMD stock has surged by approximately 90% year-over-year, supported by the AI narrative and a series of <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/AMD/earnings/eps-surprise-summary?period=quarterly">earnings target beats</a>. As such, it&rsquo;s clear that systematic support for <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/technology/artificial-intelligence/">AI stocks</a> is intact. However, I want to revert to my opening statement and reiterate the possibility of the AI story already being priced in.



So, how should AI be played from here on in? I suggest opting for overlooked small-cap AI stocks instead of banking on the more prominent names. I screened through numerous small-cap AI stocks and discovered three gems; let&rsquo;s discuss each in depth.



<h2>BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. (BBAI)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/bbai1600-300x169.png" alt="BigBear.ai (BBAI) is a leading provider of high-speed decision-making technologies. They specialize in AI-driven analytics and solutions for critical missions"><div>Source: MacroEcon / Shutterstock.com</div></div>BigBear.ai Holdings (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/bbai-stock-quote/">BBAI</a>) is a decision intelligence solutions company with a presence in logistics, enterprise operations, autonomous systems and cybersecurity. The firm leverages a broad range of capabilities to capitalize on various end markets, including government and defense, manufacturing, warehousing and healthcare.



Although an early-stage enterprise, BigBear.ai has significant potential. The broad-based AI commerce transition is more complex than most believe. In fact, I&rsquo;m willing to argue that a transition is impossible without the help of third parties like BigBear.ai due to the array of esoteric concepts involved. As such, it&rsquo;s no surprise that the AI consulting market is set to grow by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/artificial-intelligence-ai-consulting-market-demand-fwune/" target="_blank">26.49%</a>&nbsp;per year until 2031.



BigBear.ai released its fourth-quarter results last month, revealing&nbsp;<a href="https://seekingalpha.com/news/4077428-bigbear-ai-gaap-eps-of-0_14-misses-0_09-revenue-of-40_56m-misses-2_19m" target="_blank">$40.56 million</a>&nbsp;in revenue and a loss of 14 cents per share. Despite running at a loss, BigBear.ai is growing at scale and set to achieve full-year revenue between&nbsp;<a href="https://seekingalpha.com/pr/19648668-bigbear-ai-announces-close-of-pangiam-acquisition-54m-of-incremental-cash-proceeds-net-loss?hasComeFromMpArticle=false" target="_blank">$195 and $215 million</a>. Moreover, BigBear.ai secured additional cash proceeds of $54 million last year, allowing further reinvestment and low solvency risk. Sure, the company&rsquo;s bottom line does matter, but its comprehensive growth suggests net profitability is en route.



The question now becomes: Is BBAI stock undervalued?



I don&rsquo;t want to provide a hard-lined answer, but BBAI stock&rsquo;s price-to-sales ratio of&nbsp;<a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/BBAI/valuation/metrics">1.97x</a>&nbsp;is below the sector median of 3.03x, indicating that relative value is in store. Therefore, asymmetrical returns are likely, especially given the company&rsquo;s resilient fundamentals.



<h2>Innodata, Inc. (INOD)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/data1600c-300x169.jpg" alt="a cityscape at sunrise connected by 1's and 0's with implied internet connection points. representing ayx stock"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>Innodata (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/inod-stock-quote/">INOD</a>) plays a vital role in the AI value chain. In short, Innodata primarily provides data collection and training solutions to external parties.



Anybody with data analytics experience may concur that data collection, cleansing and training are the most cumbersome stages of data analysis. Thus, it&rsquo;s no surprise that Innodata decided to target them. Its offerings cover image, text, speech and conversational data, while its methodologies range from machine learning to neural networks. In essence, the company has a presence wherever it matters.



Furthermore, a fundamental overview of Innodata communicates stealth. The company generated&nbsp;<a href="https://seekingalpha.com/pr/19632062-innodata-reports-fourth-quarter-and-fiscal-year-2023-results?hasComeFromMpArticle=false" target="_blank">$26.1 million</a>&nbsp;in fourth-quarter revenue, up 35% year-over-year. Moreover, Innodata&rsquo;s quarterly earnings before interest tax depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) settled at $4.3 million for the quarter. Lastly, the company achieved a quarterly net income of $1.7 million, a substantial contrast to the $2 million loss it suffered a year earlier.



I decided to judge INOD&rsquo;s capital market-based prospects from a technical perspective. Although INOD stock has shed nearly <a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/inod-stock-quote/">20%</a> of its value since the turn of the year, key metrics suggest that an inflection point has occurred. For example, INDO has reached a resistance level, recently breaching its 10-day moving average. Moreover, INDO&rsquo;s Put/Call ratio of <a href="https://fintel.io/sopt/us/inod">0.29x</a> shows it has garnered plenty of attention from bullish options traders.



Inodata stock is primed for growth!



<h2>Duos Technologies Group (DUOT)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/duot1600-300x169.png" alt="Industrial technology concept. Communication network. INDUSTRY 4.0. Factory automation."><div>Source: metamorworks / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Duos Technologies (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/duot-stock-quote/">DUOT</a>) operates in the enterprise information management space. Additionally, it offers AI algorithm development and deployment, which is the focal point of today&rsquo;s coverage.



Much of Duos Technologies&rsquo;s allure stems from its reputation among credible&nbsp;<a href="https://www.duostechnologies.com/" target="_blank">end-market clients</a>&nbsp;such as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Amtrak, Ferromex, and Metra, to name a few. Additionally, Duos Technologies recently sealed a&nbsp;<a href="https://seekingalpha.com/news/4055575-duos-up-2-gets-24m-ai-agreement" target="_blank">$2.4 million</a>&nbsp;AI agreement with a Class 1 railroad involving subscription and services revenue; not bad for a company with an annualized revenue base of below $12 million&hellip;



Duos Technologies is positioned to add valuable contracts to its backlog as it operates in an underserved industry. Moreover, key metrics suggest its stock is aligned to prosper for the remainder of the year. For example, the stock&rsquo;s near <a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/duot-stock-quote/">50%</a> year-to-date surge has sent it above its 50&mdash;and 100-day <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/DUOT/momentum/performance">moving averages</a>, yet its relative strength index remains subdued in the mid-50s, suggesting the stock is far from being overbought.



DUOT stock is a risky bet, but it might just be worth it in the end.

Forget AMD: These 3 Small-Cap AI Stocks Are the Real Deal

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
If you are after the most undervalued AI <a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-types/penny-stocks/">penny stocks</a> to buy in April, you have come to the right place. This article will explore several small-cap companies working on cutting-edge artificial intelligence technologies that could see explosive growth as AI continues its rapid advancement.



AI has gone mainstream, with large language models like ChatGPT capturing the public&rsquo;s imagination. Some smaller, under-the-radar companies are also making significant strides in the AI space. I feel that due to their tiny valuations and market caps, they could one day become long-term winners.



While penny stocks are highly speculative and risky investments, they can also provide outsized returns if a company&rsquo;s technology and products gain traction. Specifically in the AI space, even small breakthroughs or partnerships could send share prices soaring for these thinly traded stocks.



So, here are the most undervalued AI penny stocks to buy in April. Don&rsquo;t miss out on these great options.



<h2>BigBear.ai (BBAI)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/bbai1600-300x169.png" alt="BigBear.ai (BBAI) is a leading provider of high-speed decision-making technologies. They specialize in AI-driven analytics and solutions for critical missions"><div>Source: MacroEcon / Shutterstock.com</div></div>BigBear.ai (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/bbai-stock-quote/">BBAI</a>) applies machine learning and AI in data analytics, offering significant growth potential.



In 2023, BBAI <a href="https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/bbai/statistics/">announced significant strategic developments,</a> including the successful acquisition of Pangiam. The acquisition aligns with BBAI&rsquo;s goal to create a comprehensive Vision AI portfolio. 



Financially, BBAI <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bigbear-ai-holdings-inc-bbai-033315789.html">reported</a> a net loss of $21.3 million in Q4 2023 but also marked its second consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA at $3.7 million. Revenue for Q4 2023 slightly increased to $40.6 million from $40.4 million in Q4 2022.



Looking ahead, things are also looking accretive for BBAI investors, with a revenue outlook for 2024 set between $195 million and $215 million.



I don&rsquo;t think investors can go wrong with considering BBAI stock to add to their AI penny stock portfolio for the above reasons. It&rsquo;s also cheap, trading at just 1.52 times forward sales, making it an undervalued option.



<h2>Bullfrog AI Holdings (BFRG)</h2>

BFRG is pre-IPO, but at around $3 per share, it could be an undervalued AI pick for investors to consider. The company announced a <a href="https://ir.bullfrogai.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/40/bullfrog-ai-announces-pricing-of-5-7-million-public-offering">$5.7 million public offering</a> on February 1, with plans to use the proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes.&#8203;



Its main line of business is to use <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/01/17/2810580/0/en/BullFrog-AI-s-Collaboration-with-Lieber-Institute-for-Brain-Development-Yields-Potentially-Groundbreaking-Biological-Stratification-of-Brain-Expression-Data.html">AI to analyze gene expression data.</a> These include the identification of biological subtypes within disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder, offering new perspectives on personalized treatment strategies.



More broadly, the market is shifting away from cookie-cutter solutions in treatment and healthcare and more toward more personalized treatments. The aim is to reduce complications and adverse side effects. By some estimates, the <a href="https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/personalized-medicine-market">personalized medicine market</a> could be worth around $1 trillion by 2030. That makes BFRG undervalued when one considers its total addressable market.



<h2>Guardforce AI (GFAI)</h2>

Logistics. Communication network. Secured logistics. GFAI stock."><div>Source: metamorworks / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Guardforce AI (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/gfai-stock-quote/">GFAI</a>) leverages AI technology across a wide range of information and security solutions, offering consulting services.



 The company <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/10/02/2752613/0/en/Guardforce-AI-Reports-Interim-Financial-Results-for-the-First-Half-of-2023-and-Provides-Business-Update.html">reported a net loss of $13.8 million</a> last year, alongside a basic and diluted loss per share of $4.35. The company&rsquo;s assets increased to $64.1 million from $61.2 million, with current assets including a significant rise in cash and cash equivalents from $6.9 million to $24.7 million.



Despite its influx of cash, it previously made some serious moves in the M&amp;A department. That includes acquiring robot-related business assets from Shenzhen Kewei Robot Technology, which I anticipate will help give it an edge in the market. GFAI&rsquo;s <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/guardforce-ai-enters-definitive-agreement-140000908.html">press release about its acquisition</a> states that it includes the &ldquo;select equipment assets, client base in the sales pipeline and related sales channels and staff, as well as provide rights to the permanent use of its patents, thereby enhancing Guardforce AI&rsquo;s new Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) sales and capabilities.&rdquo;



Finally, it may be undervalued. There are <a href="https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/gfai/statistics/">accounting profits</a> predicted by Wall Street analysts within the next 12 months and trading at just around 1 times sales at the time of writing suggests it is a good investment.



On Penny Stocks and Low-Volume Stocks: With only the rarest exceptions, InvestorPlace does not publish commentary about companies that have a market cap of less than $100 million or trade less than 100,000 shares each day. That&rsquo;s because these &ldquo;penny stocks&rdquo; are frequently the playground for scam artists and market manipulators. If we ever do publish commentary on a low-volume stock that may be affected by our commentary, we demand that InvestorPlace.com&rsquo;s writers disclose this fact and warn readers of the risks.
