5 micro-caps that will 10 bag or more in 5 years or less

It's been a while since I last penned a blog post so here goes. It's a brief one and it's a bold one. The five micro-caps listed below will 10-bag or more in 5 years or less. I'm not going into too much detail about the companies themselves, you'll have to do your own research. Have I chosen multi-baggers before? Yes. Here's my most successful one:-

Avesco. Went from around 20p to the final £6.50 take-over price with substantial dividends along the way.

Have I made mistakes? We all have, but experience makes you a far better stock picker and builds resilience. I'm very confident about these five micro-caps, as I was with Avesco.

For various reasons I've had a sabbatical from posting too much or talking about my holdings. I hold all 5 of these and won't be selling a single share until they've multiplied manifold times in value. Let's start.

1) Ixico (share price 69p, market cap. £32m) - Due to report on trading on Tuesday. 

"IXICO's data analytics services are used by the global biopharmaceutical industry to interpret data from brain scans and digital biosensors to enable better trial design, site qualification, patient selection and clinical outcomes. "

Strong growth. Excellent gross margins. Plenty of cash. Very strong order book. Minimally affected by Covid-19. No debt and strong balance sheet. Recent trading statement indicates £9.1m in revenues for full year 2020 and £0.9m EBITDA. Double digit revenue growth expected across 2021. You'll also feel good about owning this one when you read about the work they're doing.

2) Crimson Tide (share price 3.4p, market cap. £16m)

"Crimson Tide plc is the provider of the full service mobility platform mpro5 - #notjustanapp.  mpro5 is delivered on smartphones, tablets and PDAs, and enables organisations to transform their business and strengthen their workforce by smart mobile working. "

Gross margins 87%. Profitable. Minimal debt. Growing long term subscription revenues. Unaffected by Covid-19. Winning sizeable clients across supermarkets, rail and the NHS. Stick some figures into a spread sheet and see what happens to their profitable growth with double digit revenue growth. 

" I believe there are exciting times ahead." Luke Jeffrey CEO.


3) Biome Technologies (share price 234p, market cap. £6.5m)


"a leading bioplastics and radio frequency technology business"


Bioplastics is the exciting bit and it's come of age! RF division is cyclical, but profitable and cash generative in normal times. At the interims the Bioplastics division had grown revenues by 53% and this week they announced an order worth US$550,000 from an existing major client operating in the United States packaging market. It was "the largest single order to date for Biome's heat-stable and compostable bioplastic for coffee pod applications". They work closely alongside their clients (largely US based) to meet their exact needs and hence their clients stick with them. Commercialisation is really beginning to take-off now.


4) Software Radio Technology (share price 42.5p, market cap. £69m)


"SRT Marine Systems PLC (SRT), a global provider of maritime surveillance, monitoring and management systems"


It's taken them a long time and many injections of cash but the promise has always been there. They've navigated the recent crisis admirably (see recent trading statement) and are about to deliver in spades.  That's it, time to enjoy the rewards!


5) Trakm8 (share price 18.75p, market cap. £9m)


"global telematics and data insight provider"


From stock market darling to pariah.  Priced to go bust. It won't. Superb client list, and supportive shareholder in a company called Microlise. Half their revenues are recurring. Hot and competitive sector, but Trakm8's offering is second to none. Worst case scenario is they're acquired at about 3 times the current share price.


And that's the five. Don't expect a smooth ride with any. Micro-caps are generally very volatile, but staying the course proves very worthwhile if you've done your research. 


I should add that I'm not a stock tipper and that these are merely my own personal views, and as mentioned I own them all.


Good luck with your investments.
