Many small-cap stocks have limited Wall Street coverage, giving savvy investors the chance to act before everyone else catches on. But the flip side is that these businesses have increased downside risk because they lack the scale and staying power of their larger competitors.

The downside that can come from buying these securities is precisely why we started StockStory - to isolate the long-term winners from the losers so you can invest with confidence. Keeping that in mind, here are two small-cap stocks that could be the next big thing and one that may have trouble.

One Small-Cap Stock to Sell:

Camping World (CWH)

Market Cap: $1.09 billion

Founded in 1966 as a single recreational vehicle (RV) dealership, Camping World (NYSE: CWH) still sells RVs along with boats and general merchandise for outdoor activities.

Why Are We Wary of CWH?

1. Lagging same-store sales over the past two years suggest it might have to change its pricing and marketing strategy to stimulate demand
2. Falling earnings per share over the last five years has some investors worried as stock prices ultimately follow EPS over the long term
3. 8× net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio makes lenders less willing to extend additional capital, potentially necessitating dilutive equity offerings

Camping World’s stock price of $17.47 implies a valuation ratio of 17.6x forward P/E. If you’re considering CWH for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Two Small-Cap Stocks to Watch:

LegalZoom (LZ)

Market Cap: $1.99 billion

Founded by famous lawyer Robert Shapiro, LegalZoom (NASDAQ: LZ) offers online legal services and documentation assistance for individuals and businesses.

Why Could LZ Be a Winner?

1. Has the opportunity to boost monetization through new features and premium offerings as its subscription units have grown by 11.7% annually over the last two years
2. Share buybacks catapulted its annual earnings per share growth to 177%, which outperformed its revenue gains over the last three years
3. Free cash flow margin increased by 14.9 percentage points over the last few years, giving the company more capital to invest or return to shareholders

LegalZoom is trading at $10.67 per share, or 11.2x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

With roots dating back to 1890 and a network spanning over 70 locations across the Lone Star State, First Financial Bankshares (NASDAQ: FFIN) is a Texas-focused regional bank providing commercial banking, trust services, and wealth management across numerous communities throughout the state.

Why Is FFIN Interesting?

1. Solid 7.3% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates its offering’s solve complex business issues
