It's exciting to see such strong performances from these dark horse stocks this week! The impressive earnings beats and stock surges indicate that these companies are executing well and capitalizing on key market trends. However, catching such sudden spikes in real time can be difficult. That said, these moves provide valuable insights into companies with strong growth potential, making them worth keeping on our watchlist for potential entries during pullbacks.

Rather than chasing the rally, I’d prefer to wait for a pullback before considering an entry. While the post-earnings momentum is encouraging, valuations have expanded significantly in a short period. Monitoring these stocks for consolidation or dips could present better opportunities.

Looking ahead, next week’s dark horse stock will likely come from sectors seeing strong earnings beats, especially AI, SaaS, or fintech.

The $iShares Russell 2000 ETF(IWM )$ offers diversified exposure to approximately 2,000 small-cap U.S. stocks, including dark horses like $Upstart Holdings, Inc.(UPST )$, $Monday.com Ltd.(MNDY )$, $Confluent, Inc.(CFLT )$, $AppLovin Corporation(APP)$, and Robinhood. IWM provides access to the higher growth potential of small-caps while mitigating single-stock risk through diversification. It's a convenient and efficient way to participate in this market segment, though investors should be mindful of the inherent volatility and liquidity risks associated with small-cap investing.
