Since late 2025, we’ve seen a rotation away from megacap stocks and a broadening of performance towards other market caps, including mid-caps.

Earnings can help drive stocks, and mid-cap earnings growth improved in 2025. And looking ahead, expectations for 2026 are roughly on par with large caps, while mid-caps continue to trade at lower valuations.
