NEGLECTED FIRM EFFECT

A theory stating the tendency for smaller or lesser known companies to make higher returns on their stocks than bigger or better-known companies. The theory suggests that smaller companies are capable of generating higher returns because they are less likely to be analyzed by analysts. Smaller companies may also show better performance due to the higher risk/higher reward potential of small, lesser-known stocks, with a higher relative growth percentage.
