10 Micro and Small-Cap Firms Drive Year-to-Date Gains

8. Firefly Neuroscience, Inc. (NASDAQ:AIFF)

Firefly Neuroscience grew its share prices by 240 percent year-to-date, with the spike seen only last week following news that it was accepted into Nvidia Corp.’s (NVDA) Connect program.

AIFF—with a market capitalization of $71.59 million—soared to a new all-time high on Thursday, hitting $15.46 or a 483-percent increase this year alone, before profit-taking dragged down the company’s stock price to just $9.01 on Friday.

AIFF’s acceptance into NVDA’s Connect program—a free networking solution designed to help member companies and service providers accelerate their market entry—is expected to support its planned development of a proprietary foundation model of the human brain using FDA-cleared Brain Network Analytics technology platform, which harnesses Resting EEG and Cognitive EEG (ERP) data.

AIFF said it would leverage the program’s various tools, including technical training and guidance as well as discounts given on NVDA technologies.
