Originally, the market was continuously declining due to liquidity withdrawal caused by the U.S. government shutdown and concerns over supply chain financing surrounding OpenAI. However, now that the U.S. government has reopened and NVIDIA's strong performance has been released, the market still isn't buying it. What exactly is wrong with the U.S. stock market? With only five weeks left in 2025, has it completely turned into garbage time? Is there still hope for AI in 2026? 1. Looking towards 2026, what exactly are Trump's demands? There is one last chance for a rate cut this year—the interest rate meeting on December 10th. From a macro perspective, the current market's short-term nerves seem to be dominated by the prospect of a rate cut...

Ivan Illan, Chief Investment Officer at AWAIM, discusses the paradox in the U.S. equity market as of mid-2026, highlighting strong earnings growth in the S&P 500 but elevated valuations. He advocates for a selective approach to U.S. small and mid-cap (SMID) companies, noting significant dispersion within the asset class that presents opportunities for active managers. However, he warns of risks related to debt refinancing and emphasizes the potential for well-positioned firms to gain market share. The manufacturing sector shows signs of recovery, further supporting selective SMID investment.

The SMID Cap Conundrum: Dispersion, Deleveraging And The Selective Opportunity Ahead

Small-cap ETFs are showing signs of a comeback, outperforming despite weak investor interest. While small-cap stocks have regained momentum, ETF flows remain low, with significant outflows from small-cap mutual funds. Analysts suggest this disconnect presents a buying opportunity, as small caps trade at attractive valuations compared to large-cap stocks. If investor flows catch up with performance, small-cap ETFs could become a key focus in the latter half of 2026. Recommended ETFs for exposure include IWM, IJR, VB, and VBK.

Small-Cap ETFs May Be Prepping For A Comeback Investors Are Still Ignoring: Here Are Four You Can Start With

SPSM

The State Street SPDR Portfolio S&P 600 Small Cap ETF (SPSM) and iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF (IJR) provide similar exposure to the S&P SmallCap 600 Index but differ in cost and liquidity. SPSM has a lower expense ratio of 0.03% and a slightly higher dividend yield of 1.40%, while IJR has a larger asset base of $102.9 billion and a longer track record since 2000. Investors may choose SPSM for cost efficiency or IJR for its established history and liquidity. Both funds require profitability for index inclusion, making them safer small-cap options.

Small-cap tech stocks have significantly outperformed large-cap peers, with the S&P SmallCap 600's tech sector surpassing the S&P 500's by 38 percentage points over the past year. Notable gainers include MaxLinear, up nearly 800%, and Ichor Holdings, up 347%. Cohu and Ultra Clean Holdings also saw substantial increases of 209% and 332%, respectively. This trend highlights the impact of AI demand on smaller companies, contrasting with the struggles of larger software firms like Salesforce and Adobe, which have faced declines of over 30% due to market pressures.

Qorvo Inc. Stock Outperforms Competitors On Strong Trading Day

Small-cap stocks are leading the market, with the S&P 600 SmallCap Index up 13.3% year-to-date, outperforming the S&P 500's 4.0% gain. Key sectors driving this growth include energy, technology, and materials. Lower interest rates and increased M&A activity are benefiting small caps, which are experiencing a resurgence after years of underperformance. Small-cap earnings are projected to grow significantly, and their valuations remain attractive compared to large caps. This environment presents a unique opportunity for long-term investors to capitalize on small-cap stocks' potential.
