This week, much of our attention was focused on the MS Microcaps Summer Virtual Conference. The three-day event brought together Canadian and U.S. public companies, microcap investors and several discussions around areas we are actively researching. Later in this post, you’ll be able to click on the link to the videos and investor pitches you want to watch. The investor pitch lineup was: Gurkirat Singh, Aurelion Research, Multibagger Mike, Ben Brostoff and Lee Roach. I also threw in my own pitch at the end of the event. Overall, I was extremely impressed with the quality of the pitches, as well as the quality of the stocks that were pitched. I think a portfolio of these stocks will deliver significant alpha.
Day Two of Summer 2026 Virtual Conference shifted toward investor pitches and idea sharing. Gurkirat Singh, Aurelion Research, Multibagger Mike, Ben Brostoff, Lee Roach each presented an investment idea. We carried one final investor pitch into Friday morning. After hearing this company present during the conference, I wanted additional time to revisit the notes, continue the research and develop the investment case further before sharing it.
ICYMI: Reports on two defense stocks we added to our Model Portfolio Universe – one benefiting from rising missile production, and the other experiencing growth catalysts for the first time in a while. The latter’s real estate value on the balance sheet is materially undervalued by a factor of ~4x.
In other news, early research indicates that new products have given this company a “moatish” investment angle. We are starting to get increasingly excited. The company will likely be added to our Model Portfolio Universe.
