7 small-cap stocks to watch today: SMX Public, Bitfarms, Pasithea Therapeutics, Verint, Spring Valley, Direxion GOOGL & TSLA — MarketBeat screener picks.

MarketBeat’s stock screener has highlighted seven small-cap stocks to watch today, offering investors a mix of speculative opportunities and sector diversity. Small cap stocks—shares of companies with relatively small market capitalizations—can deliver higher growth potential but also greater volatility. Here’s a quick look at each ticker and why it’s drawing attention.

SMX (Security Matters) Public: SMX is gaining interest from traders tracking security software and identity verification plays. As a small-cap technology name, it can be reactive to product news or contract wins, making it one to watch for momentum traders.

Spring Valley Acquisition: This SPAC or acquisition vehicle is on the radar for investors monitoring mergers and restructuring activity. Small-cap acquisition targets often move quickly on deal rumors and filings, and Spring Valley Acquisition may provide a short-term catalyst.

Bitfarms: A bitcoin miner and blockchain infrastructure provider, Bitfarms attracts investors who follow crypto-linked small caps. Price action for Bitfarms often correlates with bitcoin volatility and mining economics, making it a candidate for traders focused on digital-asset exposure.

Direxion Daily GOOGL Bull 2X Shares: While technically a leveraged ETF, this Direxion fund shows up on the screener as a high-beta way to gain amplified exposure to GOOGL. Small-cap investors should note the increased risk and daily rebalancing characteristics of leveraged products.

Pasithea Therapeutics: A biotech small cap, Pasithea can swing on clinical trial updates, regulatory news, or partnership announcements. Biotech stocks often reward patience but punish unexpected setbacks, so monitor catalysts closely.

Verint Systems: An analytics and customer-engagement software company, Verint appeals to investors seeking enterprise software exposure within the small-cap space. Earnings, contract renewals, and product roadmap updates can all move the stock.

Direxion Daily TSLA Bear 1X Shares: This inverse ETF offers a way to hedge or speculate on downward moves in Tesla. As with other Direxion products on the list, traders should understand daily reset mechanics and the suitability of leveraged/inverse instruments for short-term strategies.

Why track these small-cap stocks? MarketBeat’s stock screener helps surface names with price momentum, news catalysts, or unusual volume. Small caps can outperform in strong markets but are also riskier—use proper position sizing, watch liquidity, and do your own research before acting. Follow earnings calendars and press releases for timely updates, and consider how each stock fits your risk tolerance and portfolio goals.
