What Are the Small Cap Bulls Saying?

In one of our recent articles about 8 Most Undervalued Penny Stocks To Buy According To Analysts, we talked about how many analysts are expecting small caps to perform well in a slowing economy. Here’s an excerpt from the article:

“To talk about what the stock market looks like today and in the near future. Tom Lee, co-founder of Fundstrat Global Advisors joined CNBC in a recent interview. He has been one of the strong proponents and supporters of small-cap stocks. Lee says that we are in a volatile environment currently, due to a few reasons, one being the elections in less than 30 days, the second being the Middle Eastern crisis which is scaring investors, and lastly the port strike that has the potential to cripple the economy. However, he still expressed his optimism that the year-end has a lot of tailwinds and investors shouldn’t be afraid to buy the dip. Moreover, Lee also highlighted that these current events are all short-term headwinds in a buying cycle and are expected to die down quickly.

A few weeks ago, Richard Bernstein, Richard Bernstein Advisors CEO, joined CNBC for an interview to discuss the future of small caps. He mentioned that the reason why he is bullish on mid-caps and small-caps is because he sees earnings growth to be within these segments of the market. The forecasts are showing that small caps are going to grow at a multiple similar to the Magnificent Seven.

Bernstein explained that this is not unusual. When profit cycles take a dip companies have greater sensitivity to upturn and profitability. He mentioned that what’s extraordinary is that the Fed is easing into this accelerating environment, whereas normally, they would be tightening the policy rate. As the profits are expected to go up, the economy is naturally expected to follow, thereby supporting small-cap stocks. On top of that, the interest rates easing adds more fuel for the markets to rally.
