Value vs Growth 2022 – 2023
Heading into 2023, Michael Batnick predicted that Value stocks would continue their outperformance over Growth stocks, in large part because he believed that divergence between large-cap value stocks still had room to run to catch up to large-cap growth after small-cap value stocks created such a big gap between small cap growth heading into 2023.
Batnick joked he was right on his prediction “for a total of three days,” as growth surged 38.05% in 2023 compared to value’s 6.37% performance.
