About MicroCap Observer

Independent reporting on the small- and micro-cap companies the wider market overlooks.

MicroCap Observer is an independent publication covering small-capitalisation and micro-capitalisation companies. These businesses sit at the smaller end of the public markets, and most receive little or no attention from major financial media or sell-side analysts. That gap is what we exist to fill.

Thin coverage is not the same as no news. Small companies file the same disclosures as large ones, hold the same shareholder meetings, and announce the same material events — often with nobody reading them closely. We read them, provide context, and report what we find in plain language.

We are a journalism outlet, not an advisory service. We do not issue price targets, ratings, buy or sell recommendations, or newsletters promoting particular securities. Nothing we publish is a solicitation to trade. Readers should see our disclaimer before acting on anything they read here.

How We Work

Primary Sources First

We work from regulatory filings, official company announcements and named interviews — not from message boards or forwarded tips.

No Paid Coverage

We never accept payment, shares or any other consideration in exchange for writing about a company. Editorial decisions are not for sale.

Disclosed Positions

Where a contributor holds a position in a company we cover, that position is disclosed in the article itself.

Corrections on the Record

When we get something wrong we correct it openly and note what changed, rather than editing quietly.

What We Cover

Our reporting centres on companies at the smaller end of the public markets: earnings and results, regulatory filings, capital raises and dilution, management and board changes, acquisitions, delistings and uplistings, and the regulatory actions that affect them.

We also write about the mechanics of this end of the market — how thin liquidity, wide spreads and limited disclosure change what an announcement actually means. Context of that kind is often missing from coverage written for large-cap readers.

Why Micro-Caps Need Scrutiny

The smaller end of the market carries risks that do not apply in the same way to established companies: shares can be difficult to sell at the quoted price, disclosure is often sparser, and the sector has a long history of promotional campaigns designed to inflate prices. Careful, independent reporting is a defence against that. It is also why we hold ourselves to explicit, published standards rather than asking readers to take our word for it.

Editorial Independence

Our newsroom operates independently of any advertiser, investor relations firm or company we write about. Advertising and sponsorship never influence what we cover or how we cover it, and any commercial arrangement that could reasonably be seen as a conflict is disclosed. The standards we hold ourselves to are set out in our ethics policy.
