Small-cap stocks in the U.S. market continue to be the most undervalued segment, even after their best first-half performance in over 30 years, according to Morningstar's Q3 2026 outlook. The overall market shows a modest 8% discount to fair value, but valuations vary widely by sector and company size. Morningstar recommends equal weighting across value, core, and growth styles, highlighting ETFs like T. Rowe Price's TMSL for small- and mid-cap exposure and TSPA for a broad market blend. Small-caps, particularly in the small-core and small-value segments, trade at significant discounts, making them attractive for investors seeking value in a market with uneven pricing. Sectors like communications and technology appear cheap, while industrials trade at a premium, influencing stock selection strategies going forward.
