There’s no shortage of articles touting large-cap Donald Trump stocks that investors should buy now. Most of these articles mention the same 20 to 30 stocks, but there are plenty of small-cap Trump stocks you may not be aware of.
Trump’s platform of deregulation and massive infrastructure spending stands to pump billions of dollars into certain sectors of the market. Heavily regulated sectors such as the financial sector and the energy sector stand to benefit the most from the promise of less government oversight.
At the same time, construction companies could see a huge wave of demand. Trump has promised to get Americans “off of welfare and back to work rebuilding our country.” He has pledged to spend an incredible $1 trillion investing in infrastructure.
The problem for investors is that Trump stocks have already been on fire since Election Day. However, some of the under-the-radar options still offer compelling value potential.

Last summer, the watchdog group released a new set of rules and regulations specifically related to debt collection. Debt collection is ECPG’s specialty. The new set of rules was enough for Citi to cut its price target for the stock from $31 to $24. In fact, the stock is down 35% in the last three years over concerns about the impact of new regulations.
If Trump eliminates this threat, ECPG stock could have some major upside. Despite the fact that the stock is up more than 55% since Election Day, it still trades at only 7.2 times projected 2017 earnings.
