High ROE firms outperform negative earners

Negative-earning stocks have continued to underperform the broader market since the initial months following the so-called liberation day market rebound, according to Michael Kantro. Kantro also observed that companies with the highest return on equity (ROE) have outperformed those with the lowest or negative ROEs, based on his firm's factor baskets.

Earlier this year, Michael Kantro reported that the correlation between the cap-weighted and equal-weighted S&P 500 fell to 37% amid diverging index performance. He also highlighted that the S&P 500 Macro Select index climbed nearly 30% year to date, outperforming both cap-weighted and equal-weighted benchmarks during the same period. These observations provided additional perspective on recent market trends tracked by Kantro.
