As year-end positioning accelerates, the traditional Santa’s Rally is shining a spotlight on small-cap and micro-cap stocks under $5 showing renewed momentum, rising volume, and investor awareness. These names are drawing attention across technology, fintech, media, space, and consumer sectors—areas where speculative capital often rotates during holiday trading weeks.

Below is a Street Reports–style snapshot of the stocks gaining traction this week:

Creative Media & Community Trust Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCT)

A real estate-focused REIT with exposure to mixed-use and community-centered assets. CMCT continues to attract traders watching for balance-sheet restructuring, asset monetization, and rate-sensitivity tailwinds heading into 2026.

SurgePays Inc. (NASDAQ: SURG)

SURG remains a standout in the under-$5 universe as it scales across wireless, fintech, and SaaS retail media. Investor interest is building around subscriber growth, lead-generation integrations, and a visible path toward recurring revenue expansion.

Sidus Space Inc. (NASDAQ: SIDU)

A space and satellite-play gaining attention as interest rebounds in defense, aerospace, and orbital services. Contract wins, mission updates, and government-adjacent programs continue to place SIDU on speculative traders’ radars.

Myseum Inc. (NASDAQ: MYSE)

MYSE is drawing buzz following the rollout of Picture Party, its privacy-first social sharing platform. With growing discussion around data ownership, AI scraping, and private networks, the stock is increasingly mentioned as a differentiated social media disruptor.

Aziyo Biologics Inc. (NASDAQ: AZI)

A regenerative medicine and surgical solutions company that has re-entered speculative trading screens as healthcare investors look for undervalued recovery stories and restructuring-driven upside.

Why Santa’s Rally Matters for Microcaps

Historically, thinly traded, high-beta stocks often experience amplified moves during the final weeks of the year as tax-loss selling fades and speculative capital looks for January positioning. For active traders and small-cap investors, this period can surface outsized volume spikes, momentum runs, and narrative-driven breakouts. CMCT, SURG, SIDU, MYSE, and AZI headline this week’s stocks under $5 watchlist, while SNYR, DYAI, HIT, and RDZN continue to build visibility as thematic plays heading into the new year.
