Global Industrial (GIC): Stellar Small Cap to Buy Now

Large cap stocks have dominated their smaller peers for the past 5 years. However, this defies over 100 years of investment history where small caps have outperformed by a wide margin. 

Gladly recent market movement has shown a rotation back to small caps. Last Friday being the prime example with the Russell 2000 index beating the S&P 500 by a whopping 2.5X.

It is high time that small caps lead the way once again. And thus high time you discover one of my favorite small cap stocks, Global Industrial (GIC).

What these guys do for a living would put an insomniac to sleep...instantly ;-)

Gladly being a boring company doesn’t mean it’s a boring investment. That is where the 115 factor analysis of the Zen Ratings comes into play to spot a hidden gem like GIC.

In this case GIC is not only A rated...but is actually the 3rd highest rated stock out of 4,600 reviewed on a daily basis. 

This also explains why it is one of only 7 stocks selected for our top performing strategy based on our exclusive AI factors (48% average annual returns).

Back to the boring stuff.

They are a leading supplier of industrial strength tools and equipment. But what really matters is that they are clearly in the midst of a business turnaround with their 2nd straight impressive earnings report after 4 straight years of depressing results.

This turnaround in fundamentals jumps off the page when reviewing their Zen Ratings:

Top 25% Value

Top 19% Growth

Top 17% Safety

Top 3% Sentiment

Top 2% AI factors

Top 1% Financials

Top 0.1% overall...not just A rated...more like A+++

If indeed we are in the early stages of a long term turnaround in the business, then there should be many more earnings beats on the horizon that would propel shares much, much higher. 

The above, plus the outstanding Zen Ratings grades, plus small cap rotation gives us ample reason to buy these shares today.
