In a recent exclusive interview with Benzinga, Paul Eitelman, chief investment strategist for North America at Russell Investments, provided insights into the sectors of small-cap stocks that stand out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/small-cap-analysis">amidst economic uncertainty</a>.
While small-caps as a whole face some macroeconomic risks, Eitelman highlights several specific sectors that could offer substantial opportunities.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Where Small-Cap Managers Are Finding Opportunities</h1>
Eitelman notes that &#8220;dedicated small-cap managers are finding opportunities to tilt their portfolio strategies toward banks, technology and select highly indebted companies that are likely to benefit from lower interest rates going forward.&#8221; These sectors are positioned to thrive, especially as interest rates begin to decline.
Technology continues to dominate market discussions, and small-cap tech companies could be key beneficiaries of economic shifts, particularly those aligned with innovative growth areas like AI and data services.
The Russell 2000 index is one of the more popular indices tracking small cap U.S. equity. ETFs that track this index include the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>), the Vanguard Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTWO#NYSE">VTWO</a>) and the Avantis US Small Cap Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVSC#NYSE">AVSC</a>). The Invesco S&amp;P SmallCap Information Technology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSCT#NYSE">PSCT</a>) is a lesser-known but technology-focused ETF tracking small cap companies. The top 3 holdings of this ETF are Fabrinet (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FN#NYSE">FN</a>), SPS Commerce, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPSC#NASDAQ">SPSC</a>) and Badger Meter Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMI#NYSE">BMI</a>).

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Stock Selection: Primary Driver Of Risk, Return</h1>
However, Eitelman cautions that given the high macroeconomic uncertainty, broad sector bets are risky. He recommends a more refined approach: "Our preference into high macro uncertainty is to target only modest sector tilts and let stock selection shine as the primary driver of risk and return."
This focus on stock selection over aggressive sector rotation makes sense in an environment where not all companies are equally positioned to navigate fluctuating interest rates or economic slowdowns. 
Banks, for example, are likely to benefit from a soft landing scenario, while indebted companies could see relief as rates fall. Tech remains a favorite sector due to its long-term growth prospects, even amid near-term uncertainty.
Overall, Eitelman's strategy emphasizes precision and caution, advising investors to prioritize stock-picking and avoid broad over-exposure in the small-cap space.

Fabrinet (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fn#NYSE">FN</a>) closed the last trading session at $210.74, gaining 1.2% over the past four weeks, but there could be plenty of upside left in the stock if short-term price targets set by Wall Street analysts are any guide. The mean price target of $265.17 indicates a 25.8% upside potential.
The average comprises six short-term price targets ranging from a low of $196 to a high of $300, with a standard deviation of $37.58. While the lowest estimate indicates a decline of 7% from the current price level, the most optimistic estimate points to a 42.4% upside. More than the range, one should note the standard deviation here, as it helps understand the variability of the estimates. The smaller the standard deviation, the greater the agreement among analysts.
While the consensus price target is highly sought after by investors, the ability and unbiasedness of analysts in setting price targets have long been questionable. And investors making investment decisions solely based on this tool would arguably do themselves a disservice.
However, an impressive consensus price target is not the only factor that indicates a potential upside in FN. This view is strengthened by the agreement among analysts that the company will report better earnings than what they estimated earlier. Though a positive trend in earnings estimate revisions doesn&#39;t give any idea as to how much the stock could surge, it has proven effective in predicting an upside.
<h2>Here&#39;s What You Should Know About Analysts&#39; Price Targets</h2>
According to researchers at several universities across the globe, a price target is one of many pieces of information about a stock that misleads investors far more often than it guides. In fact, empirical research shows that price targets set by several analysts, irrespective of the extent of agreement, rarely indicate where the price of a stock could actually be heading.
While Wall Street analysts have deep knowledge of a company&#39;s fundamentals and the sensitivity of its business to economic and industry issues, many of them tend to set overly optimistic price targets. Are you wondering why?
They usually do that to drum up interest in shares of companies that their firms either have existing business relationships with or are looking to be associated with. In other words, business incentives of firms covering a stock often result in inflated price targets set by analysts.
However, a tight clustering of price targets, which is represented by a low standard deviation, indicates that analysts have a high degree of agreement about the direction and magnitude of a stock&#39;s price movement. While that doesn&#39;t necessarily mean the stock will hit the average price target, it could be a good starting point for further research aimed at identifying the potential fundamental driving forces.
That said, while investors should not entirely ignore price targets, making an investment decision solely based on them could lead to disappointing ROI. So, price targets should always be treated with a high degree of skepticism.
<h2>Here&#39;s Why There Could be Plenty of Upside Left in FN</h2>
There has been increasing optimism among analysts lately about the company&#39;s earnings prospects, as indicated by strong agreement among them in revising EPS estimates higher. And that could be a legitimate reason to expect an upside in the stock. After all, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has increased 4% over the past month, as four estimates have gone higher compared to no negative revision.
Moreover, FN currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which means it is in the top 20% of more than the 4,000 stocks that we rank based on four factors related to earnings estimates. Given an impressive externally-audited track record, this is a more conclusive indication of the stock&#39;s potential upside in the near term.
Therefore, while the consensus price target may not be a reliable indicator of how much FN could gain, the direction of price movement it implies does appear to be a good guide.

The Nasdaq 100 closed slightly higher during Thursday's session. Investors, meanwhile, focused on some notable insider trades.
When insiders sell shares, it could be a preplanned sale, or could indicate their concern in the company's prospects or that they view the stock as being overpriced. Insider sales should not be taken as the only indicator for making an investment or trading decision. At best, it can lend conviction to a selling decision.
Below is a look at a few recent notable insider sales. For more, check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/sec/insider-trades/">Benzinga&#8217;s insider transactions</a> platform.

Why Fabrinet Stock Is Moving Higher Tuesday

It&#8217;s a relatively uneventful session on Wall Street, but with a slightly worsening risk sentiment as all U.S. equity indices traded in the red at around midday trading in New York. If the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 close lower today, it will break their current eight-day winning streak, a run that has nearly erased the losses <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40450395/s-p-500-nasdaq-100-extend-8-session-winning-streak-as-wall-street-jitters-go-poof-mondays-key-st">sustained earlier this month.</a>

Wall Street Eases, Bonds Rise, US Dollar Falls To 8-Month Low: What's Driving Markets Tuesday?

Shares of Fabrinet (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FN#NYSE">FN</a>) skyrocketed in early trading on Tuesday, after the company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40464197/fabrinet-posts-strong-earnings-joins-amer-sports-hawaiian-holdings-and-other-big-stocks-moving-highe">results for its fiscal fourth quarter</a>.
The results came amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
<ul>
<li>JPMorgan <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58ac4af2b85e930001e6383f/samik-chatterjee">analyst Samik Chatterjee</a> reiterated a Neutral rating, while raising the price target from $240 to $285.</li>
<li>Needham <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5880b6f377f9dd00011b0ab2/matthew-hedberg">analyst Alex Henderson</a> maintained a Buy rating, while lifting the price target from $270 to $280.</li>

JPMorgan: Fabrinet's Datacom business had been the source of upside in recent quarters, driven by tailwinds related to AI investments. Analysts were surprised that the company's non-Datacom businesses drove its better-than-expected performance in the fiscal fourth quarter. 
This was "led by DCI demand and new system wins in Telecom as well as the dissipation of inventory headwinds associated with EV battery chargers," Chatterjee added.
Management has guided to sequential revenue growth across all product categories in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, "which is leading to aggregate revenue to surpass expectations heading into the quarter," the analyst stated. 
Fabrinet's ability to win new customers "was again on display as it highlighted a large win with Ciena (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIEN#NYSE">CIEN</a>), which by our estimate could supercede its prior largest Telecom customers in magnitude, as well as highlighting six ZR customers, which in our view continues to showcase the headroom for Fabrinet to win and ramp new businesses particularly in the current backdrop of recent M&amp;A and management transitions in the industry," he further wrote.
Needham: Fabrinet reported strong results and guidance, while announcing a significant new customer win in its Systems business with Ciena and "a major new plant expansion twice the size previously expected," Henderson said. 
"Fabrinet is demonstrating its confidence in its growth outlook with the $110 million capacity expansion," he added.
Fabrinet expects its new plant build to "handle an additional $2.4 billion in Revenues annually when filled," the analyst stated. "The impact on GMs at opening is expected to be a small 15 BPs hit which will go away as the capacity ramps," he further wrote.
FN Price Action: Shares of Fabrinet had risen by 19% to $275.55 at the time of publication on Tuesday.
