  • Small-Cap Tech Outperforms Big Tech as PSCT Hits Record High
    April 9, 2026, 10:03 AM EDT. Investors are shifting focus as the Invesco S&P SmallCap Information Technology ETF (PSCT) hit a new all-time high, outperforming large-cap tech represented by XLK. Since late 2025, small-cap tech stocks have gained momentum, leaving Big Tech behind in 2026. TrendLabs founder J.C. Parets noted large-cap tech has been stagnant while mid- and small-cap tech sectors, including hardware and semiconductors, show strength. Mid-cap growth ETFs like Vanguard's IVOG and Invesco's RFG are also approaching record levels. This trend suggests the tech sector's strength resides outside a few megacap giants, highlighting diversification opportunities for investors.
