Here's How Much $1000 Invested In SPS Commerce 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

In a recent exclusive interview with Benzinga, Paul Eitelman, chief investment strategist for North America at Russell Investments, provided insights into the sectors of small-cap stocks that stand out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/small-cap-analysis">amidst economic uncertainty</a>.
While small-caps as a whole face some macroeconomic risks, Eitelman highlights several specific sectors that could offer substantial opportunities.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Where Small-Cap Managers Are Finding Opportunities</h1>
Eitelman notes that &#8220;dedicated small-cap managers are finding opportunities to tilt their portfolio strategies toward banks, technology and select highly indebted companies that are likely to benefit from lower interest rates going forward.&#8221; These sectors are positioned to thrive, especially as interest rates begin to decline.
Technology continues to dominate market discussions, and small-cap tech companies could be key beneficiaries of economic shifts, particularly those aligned with innovative growth areas like AI and data services.
The Russell 2000 index is one of the more popular indices tracking small cap U.S. equity. ETFs that track this index include the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>), the Vanguard Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTWO#NYSE">VTWO</a>) and the Avantis US Small Cap Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVSC#NYSE">AVSC</a>). The Invesco S&amp;P SmallCap Information Technology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSCT#NYSE">PSCT</a>) is a lesser-known but technology-focused ETF tracking small cap companies. The top 3 holdings of this ETF are Fabrinet (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FN#NYSE">FN</a>), SPS Commerce, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPSC#NASDAQ">SPSC</a>) and Badger Meter Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMI#NYSE">BMI</a>).

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Stock Selection: Primary Driver Of Risk, Return</h1>
However, Eitelman cautions that given the high macroeconomic uncertainty, broad sector bets are risky. He recommends a more refined approach: "Our preference into high macro uncertainty is to target only modest sector tilts and let stock selection shine as the primary driver of risk and return."
This focus on stock selection over aggressive sector rotation makes sense in an environment where not all companies are equally positioned to navigate fluctuating interest rates or economic slowdowns. 
Banks, for example, are likely to benefit from a soft landing scenario, while indebted companies could see relief as rates fall. Tech remains a favorite sector due to its long-term growth prospects, even amid near-term uncertainty.
Overall, Eitelman's strategy emphasizes precision and caution, advising investors to prioritize stock-picking and avoid broad over-exposure in the small-cap space.

<h3>Delving Into the Significance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Considering insider transactions is valuable, but it's crucial to evaluate them in conjunction with other investment factors.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Cracking Transaction Codes</h3>
Taking a closer look at transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often prioritize those unfolding in the open market, meticulously cataloged in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C denotes the conversion of an option, and transaction code A signifies a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.
