SolarBank Corporation, a Canada-based but U.S.-listed micro-cap developer of renewable and clean energy projects, is significantly undervalued, Zacks Small-Cap Research (Zacks SCR) <a href="https://s27.q4cdn.com/906368049/files/News/2025/Zacks_SCR_Research_04112025_SUUN_Lantier.pdf">believes</a>, with the shares worth more than double their current market quotes.

Noble Capital Markets <a href="https://www.channelchek.com/news-channel/saga-communications-sga-is-it-time-to-buy-the-stock">thinks</a> now may be the right time for investors to take a look at small-cap broadcast company Saga Communications, which operates more than a hundred radio stations globally.
