1 Russell 2000 Stock for Long-Term Investors and 2 to Brush Off
Small-cap stocks in the Russell 2000 (^RUT) can be a goldmine for investors looking beyond the usual large-cap names. But with less stability and fewer resources than their bigger counterparts, these companies face steeper challenges in scaling their businesses. The high-risk, high-reward nature of the Russell 2000 makes stock selection critical, and we're here to guide you toward the right ones. Keeping that in mind, here is one Russell 2000 stock that could deliver strong gains and two best left off your watchlist. Market Cap: $145.8 million Named after founder Philip Leslie, who established the company in 1963, Leslie's (NASDAQ:LESL) is a retailer that sells pool and spa supplies, equipment, and maintenance services. Why Are We Out on LESL? Disappointing same-store sales over the past two years show customers aren't responding well to its product selection and store experience Earnings per share have dipped by 42.7% annually over the past four years, which is concerning because stock prices follow EPS over the long term 12× net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio makes lenders less willing to extend additional capital, potentially necessitating dilutive equity offerings At $0.82 per share, Leslie's trades at 11.2x forward P/E. If you're considering LESL for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more. Market Cap: $1.92 billion Founded in 1965, Universal Technical Institute (NYSE: UTI) is a leading provider of technical training programs, specializing in automotive, diesel, collision repair, motorcycle, and marine technicians. Why Should You Sell UTI? Poor expense management has led to an operating margin of 7.8% that is below the industry average Capital intensity will likely ramp up in the next year as its free cash flow margin is expected to contract by 1.7 percentage points ROIC of 9.2% reflects management's challenges in identifying attractive investment opportunities Universal Technical Institute's stock price of $35.32 implies a valuation ratio of 15.9x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including UTI in your portfolio, it's free. Market Cap: $1.71 billion Founded by famous lawyer Robert Shapiro, LegalZoom (NASDAQ:LZ) offers online legal services and documentation assistance for individuals and businesses. Why Could LZ Be a Winner? Subscription Units are rising, meaning the company can increase revenue without incurring additional customer acquisition costs if it can cross-sell additional products and features Performance over the past three years was turbocharged by share buybacks, which enabled its earnings per share to grow faster than its revenue Free cash flow margin increased by 13.1 percentage points over the last few years, giving the company more capital to invest or return to shareholders LegalZoom is trading at $9.87 per share, or 9.9x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it's free. Market indices reached historic highs following Donald Trump's presidential victory in November 2024, but the outlook for 2025 is clouded by new trade policies that could impact business confidence and growth.

Take advantage of Mr. Market by checking out our Top 6 Stocks for this week. This is a curated list of our High Quality stocks that have generated a market-beating return of 176% over the last five years.

Cramer's Lightning Round: 'I would actually ring the register on some Sezzle'
Universal Technical Institute: "I think it jives very well with where we are in the economy...I think it can continue to go higher because it fits the thesis of what we expect in an era of AI and the need to be on your game in non-AI jobs." Sezzle: "I thin Sezzle's in a crowded space...I would actually ring the register on some gotten a little too hot." Rocket Lab: "I was skeptical, but so many companies need to to put up rockets, I think it's actually a decent story." Archer Aviation: "That one's a bridge too far for me." CoStar Group: "Normally it would be good to have the analytics involving commercial real estate, but right now commercial real estate is not doing well in this does make money, though, but it's not for me." Viper Energy: "It's not my cup of tea." Fiserv: "This was just a disaster, and I've got to know more because I don't like what I'm hearing." Arista Networks: "...I'd rather have you go with Cisco, which is a much cheaper stock."
