Unusually big performance gap opens up as investors drive up big tech stocks while interest rates hurt smaller companies

US small-cap stocks are suffering their worst run of performance relative to large companies in more than 20 years, highlighting the extent to which investors have chased megacap technology stocks while smaller groups are weighed down by high interest rates. The Russell 2000 index has risen 24 per cent since the beginning of 2020, lagging behind the S&P 500’s more than 60 per cent gain over the same period.

“When you get small-caps right, you’re not right by 20 per cent more than the Street, your earnings and revenue estimates could be double where the consensus is . . . That leads to a more significant price gain,” said Tuorto, whose portfolio is dominated by stocks including Shake Shack and Wingstop, as well as retailers.
