Russell 2000 Outperforms S&P 500 in Early 2023
- Small-Cap Advantage: In early 2023, the Russell 2000 outperformed the S&P 500 for the first 14 trading days, demonstrating strong rebound potential despite a nearly 2% drop on January 23, indicating a favorable shift towards small-cap stocks.
- Valuation Gap: With the S&P 500 trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of 28 compared to the Russell 2000 ETF's 19.5, which is about a third lower, this valuation disparity may encourage a rotation from large-cap to small-cap stocks, potentially driving further gains in the latter.
- Interest Rate Downtrend: Following three rate cuts totaling 75 basis points by the Federal Reserve at the end of last year, the Russell 2000 surged 17% over the past six months, and further rate cuts could favor small-cap stocks, especially if they catch the market by surprise.
- Diverse Investment Opportunities: Investors can gain exposure to small-cap stocks through the iShares Russell 2000 ETF or opt for more focused ETFs like the Vanguard Russell 2000 Growth ETF and Vanguard Russell 2000 Value ETF, while individual stocks like Amplitude and Innodata also show strong growth potential.
