2026 Mid-Year MicroCap Review with Maj Soueidan, Tim Heitman and Mathieu Martin

In this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, we brought back the Investors Roundtable - our first since 2022 - with Maj Soueidan of GeoInvesting, Tim Heitman of Investing 501, and Mathieu Martin of the Rivemont MicroCap Fund.

With the Russell MicroCap up roughly 27% year to date, we dig into what’s actually driving that move, what’s worked and what hasn’t for our panelists, and whether this rally feels earned or fragile. We run through the Good, Bad, and Ugly from August 2026 earnings season - including a report that looked ugly on the surface but told a very different story underneath. We also close out with each guest’s highest conviction idea right now and where they’re looking heading into 2027.
