Michael Kantro: Value stocks and high dividend strategies outperform as rates ease
Value outperforms as rates fall

Value stocks and high dividend yield strategies have been performing well, while a rate-sensitive basket has been underperforming as rates decline and the so-called “beta” bubble in stocks continues to deflate. Michael Kantro shared this assessment in a recent commentary.

Kantro previously highlighted that corporate margins are surging due to both cyclical and secular factors, with gains not limited to large-cap companies. He also reported that the S&P 500 Macro Select index has risen about 30% year to date, outperforming both the cap-weighted and equal-weighted benchmarks. These observations provide additional context to his latest commentary on market sector performance.
