As the spotlight stays fixed on mega-cap tech, a select group of under-the-radar small caps—dubbed the “Mag 7 Undercard“—is quietly gaining steam. These emerging players span next-gen communications, green tech, health and wellness, retail innovation, and critical infrastructure, each showing unique catalysts as Q4 approaches.
Loop Industries (NASDAQ: LOOP) is reshaping the circular economy with its proprietary Twist™ polyester resin, made entirely from recycled textile waste.

Peraso Inc. (NASDAQ: PRSO) delivers battlefield-proven mmWave communications technology, with Q2 revenue up 76% and Q3 guidance of $2.8M–$3.1M. Its secure, 60GHz beamforming systems are deployed in active defense environments, validated by real-world conditions—not concepts. With 82 customer engagements, a defense TAM exceeding $500M, and U.S. policy tailwinds from the CHIPS and BEAD Acts, Peraso is executing with precision.
Zeta Network Group (NASDAQ: ZNB) is rearchitecting the digital backbone for Web3 with a high-throughput blockchain protocol stack, positioned to support next-gen decentralized infrastructure at scale.

Why the Mag 7 Undercard Matters
These aren’t meme stocks or one-off speculative trades. Each name in the Mag 7 Undercard is executing on a validated roadmap—whether it’s Loop’s closed-loop plastic innovation, Peraso’s defense and education-grade mmWave tech, or Power Metallic’s strategic mineral exploration.
Together, they represent a fundamental shift in small-cap momentum—driven by tangible progress, real revenue, and alignment with macro themes like:
- National Security & Defense Tech
- Clean Energy & ESG Infrastructure
- Web3 & Blockchain Networks
- Functional Wellness & Consumer Innovation
These undercards may deliver asymmetrical upside long before institutional capital catches up.
