Change of Guard
Igor Manukhov - Nov 08, 2022
Value stocks finally get the upper hand on growth stocks.
Since 2007 its been all about growth. High flying tech stocks have outperformed old and boring “Warren Buffett” type value companies. Rising rates this year have finally turned the table. It appear that there is a trend change in relative strength between value and growth stocks (black line). After more than a decade of underperformance, value strategies regain their strength. We will have to see whether this trend persists, but considering the message that we got earlier this week from Jerome Powell (Chairman of the FED), interest rates are likely going to continue to climb. In this environment, boring dividend companies tend to do better than high flying growth companies.
