About This Episode

Several factors point to why this is an exceptional time to invest in small-cap stocks. Small-cap stocks tend to outperform after inflation peaks and in the aftermath of recessions. Small-cap valuations are at 20-plus-year lows relative to large-cap equities. Earnings revisions for small caps are stabilizing and beginning to outpace those of large caps. The M&A market is recovering, which historically correlates with improved small cap performance.
