Key Points

  • The Russell 2000 has been a Goldilocks performer in the first half of 2023, but if the rally has legs, history says small-cap stocks will lead the way.  
  • iRobot (IRBT): Amazon’s bid to buy the company will likely be approved, but the stock is still trading at a discount. 
  • FuelCell Energy (FCEL): Investors long wait for the promise of hydrogen to pay off may be emerging. 
  • EVgo (EVGO): Analyst opinion is all over the map on this EV charging play, but the consensus is still to the upside. 
  • 5 stocks we like better than Russell 2000 Index.
