Investor interest builds in speculative micro-cap names under the radar of Wall Street's "Magnificent Seven"ENDRA

Life Sciences (NASDAQ: NDRA) is advancing its flagship TAEUS® ultrasound system for non-invasive liver diagnostics. With clinical trials in progress and plans for a De Novo FDA submission, NDRA’s latest financial report showed improved cash management and narrowing losses. Trading just below $3.50, the company remains on biotech radars as a speculative play in the fight against metabolic liver disease.

Bolt Projects Holdings (NASDAQ: BSLK) is exploring a new identity through a pivot into sustainable biomaterials, including its proprietary “vegan silk” applications for beauty and health products. Formerly a SPAC, the company’s transition is being closely watched following its Q1 2025 financial release and reverse split earlier this year. Trading near $2.50, BSLK is attracting renewed attention amid talks of a potential acquisition strategy.

Wolfspeed Inc. (NYSE: WOLF) While no longer strictly a sub-$5 stock, WOLF earns its spot in the undercard lineup for its strategic importance in the silicon carbide semiconductor space. With demand surging from electric vehicles and high-power electronics, Wolfspeed is expanding capacity and capturing institutional interest despite short-term price fluctuations. Its presence anchors the list with long-term tech potential.

Optical Cable Corporation (NASDAQ: OCC) a low-float telecom infrastructure play, is regaining attention as broadband investment ramps up under U.S. infrastructure programs. The company, trading around the $4–6 range, has exposure to data center connectivity, defense communications, and fiber-optic growth markets. Investors are eyeing this name as a sleeper bet on infrastructure-backed digital expansion.

Synergy CHC Corp. (NASDAQ: SNYR) Best known for its FOCUSfactor® brain health supplements and energy drink line, SNYR is executing a nationwide retail push with listings in Walmart (NYSE: WMT), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), and Costco (NASDAQ: COST). With former Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) executives joining the beverage division and Bloomberg TV exposure underway, SNYR is positioning for breakout visibility. Shares recently saw increased volume on distribution expansion news.

Other Micro-Caps Gaining Traction: Keep an eye on names like Power Metallic Mines (OTCQB: PNPNF | TSXV: PNPN), Health In Tech Inc. (NASDAQ: HIT) and Peraso Inc (NASDAQ: PRSO) all making aggressive early trading moves this week.

The Undercard Opportunity

While these stocks lack the trillion-dollar valuations of the market’s mega caps, their low share prices and high-beta profiles make them ripe for breakout moves. For traders and speculative investors, this undercard group offers diverse exposure across biotech, tech, materials, and consumer wellness—all at sub-$5 price points.

The StreetWatch: While tech giants dominate headlines, a group of undercard small-caps trading under $5 are capturing attention with bold moves, sector catalysts, and speculative momentum. This “MAG 7 Undercard” lineup includes ENDRA Life Sciences (NASDAQ: NDRA), Bolt Projects Holdings (NASDAQ: BSLK), Wolfspeed Inc. (NYSE: WOLF), Optical Cable Corporation (NASDAQ: OCC), and Synergy CHC Corp. (NASDAQ: SNYR). These companies, each operating in high-impact sectors from biomaterials to semiconductors, are gaining ground on investor watchlists.
