Additional Reading from MarketBeat Media 2 Small-Cap Biotechs That Could Reward Patient InvestorsWritten by Chris Markoch. Published 12/12/2025. 
Key Points - Small-cap biotech stocks like Mainz Biomed and NanoViricides offer high risk but the potential for outsized returns as their diagnostic and antiviral pipelines advance.
- Mainz Biomed’s ColoAlert test provides early commercial traction, but limited revenue and ongoing cash needs continue to pressure MYNZ stock.
- NanoViricides’ nanomedicine antiviral platform shows promising preclinical data, yet NNVC remains a speculative bet dependent on new funding and pipeline progress.
Speculative investors and patience rarely go together. If you're considering the small-cap biotech sector, patience is essential. Most of these companies remain in the clinical stage and do not yet have commercially available drugs or therapeutics. That also means many of them report negative earnings (they are not profitable) and have little to no revenue. Success frequently hinges on the outcome of a single clinical-stage drug or therapeutic. Most investors fixate on every word from the Federal Reserve. But a quieter shift in Washington could matter far more for the future of U.S. monetary policy — and for assets like gold.
A veteran analyst argues that upcoming changes at the Fed may reshape the landscape in ways the market isn't fully pricing in yet. In a recent briefing, he explains why this shift could reignite interest in overlooked gold opportunities, and shares what he uncovered during an unexpected trip to a Colorado ski town. See the full analysis here Even if a product advances through clinical trials, profitability can still be years away. Only after reaching that milestone do companies typically attract analyst coverage and institutional investment. Still, backing one of these medical stocks before a major breakthrough can produce massive gains. Investors who hit on the right name could see 3x, 5x, or even 10x returns; many others may never pan out. That's why some penny-stock investors spread a lump sum across numerous biotech names — if it's a numbers game, diversification can be an effective strategy. With that in mind, here are two small-cap biotech stocks that carry substantial risks but also the potential for outsized returns. Mainz Biomed: Early Cancer Detection With High Upside Potential Mainz Biomed AG (NASDAQ: MYNZ) is a German molecular diagnostics company focused on epigenetics-based tests for early cancer detection. Unlike many penny stocks in this space, Mainz Biomed already has a commercial product: ColoAlert — the first DNA-based screening tool for colorectal cancer in Europe. On Dec. 2, Mainz Biomed announced that ColoAlert was added to the portfolio of DoctorBox, a leading digital-health provider in Germany. With more than 60,000 new colorectal cancer cases annually in Germany, the market opportunity is meaningful. The company is also developing a non-invasive, blood-based screening test for early detection of pancreatic cancer and reported positive topline results from a feasibility study in October. That program, however, is still years from potential commercial approval. Risks remain significant. ColoAlert is not yet available in the United States, and despite initial sales in Europe and expansion plans for South America, revenue is still minimal. That shortfall is reflected in the company's Sept. 26 SEC filing, which included “going concern” language. Since then, Mainz Biomed has filed a $150 million mixed shelf offering. For now, that financing helps keep MYNZ above $1 and avoid a delisting notice. The company must quickly scale revenue to change its financial trajectory. If it succeeds, even a modest investment could produce a substantial return. NanoViricides: High-Risk Antiviral Play With Breakthrough Potential NanoViricides Inc. (NYSE: NNVC) is a micro-cap biotech pursuing a potentially disruptive antiviral approach, but it also carries the financial risks typical of speculative early-stage companies. The company is developing a novel class of antiviral therapies based on its proprietary "nanoviricide" platform. These candidates are designed to mimic human cell surfaces and entice viruses to bind to them, neutralizing the pathogens before they can infect real cells. It's an innovative approach that, if validated in human trials, could represent a fundamentally new method for treating infectious diseases. NanoViricides' pipeline includes candidates targeting shingles (varicella-zoster virus), HSV-1 and HSV-2, and broad-spectrum influenza. Its shingles program, NV-HSC, is the most advanced and has produced encouraging preclinical data suggesting strong antiviral activity. As with many micro-cap biotechs, NanoViricides remains pre-revenue and depends on additional capital to advance its programs. Recent filings indicate limited cash on hand, so investors should prepare for the possibility of future dilution. Still, if even one candidate successfully advances into clinical development, the valuation upside could be substantial. For investors with patience and a high risk tolerance, NNVC represents a genuine moonshot in the antiviral space.
