  • Small Caps Outperform S&P 500 for 14 Days, a Pattern Not Seen Since 1996
    January 25, 2026, 11:08 PM EST. Small-cap stocks, tracked by the Russell 2000, have outperformed large-cap stocks in the S&P 500 for 14 consecutive days, the longest such streak since 1996. This marks a notable shift after the S&P 500's strong three-year run, driven largely by AI-focused mega-cap tech stocks known as the "Magnificent Seven," which doubled the Russell 2000's returns from 2023 to 2025. Historically, small caps tend to outperform in broadening bull markets due to higher volatility and economic sensitivity. While a similar streak in 1996 preceded the dot-com boom, it didn't predict returns favoring small caps over the long term then. Currently, valuation gaps remain significant, with the S&P 500 trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of 27.9 compared to 19.4 for the Russell 2000, suggesting potential further small-cap strength amid a rotation away from concentrated tech stocks.
