Small-cap stocks rarely receive the attention they deserve in the massive medical technology (medtech) industry, which is dominated by bigger names like Intuitive Surgical (ISRG), Medtronic (MDT), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), and Stryker (SYK).
Valued at $1.5 billion, Alphatec Holdings (ATEC), a spinal-surgery-focused medtech firm, is one such under-the-radar name that is steadily attracting Wall Street and investor attention. Its products are specifically designed to simplify complex procedures, improve reproducibility, and help surgeons treat spinal conditions more effectively.
