The ALPS O’Shares U.S. Small-Cap Quality Dividend ETF (OUSM) is benefiting from a bullish trend in small-cap stocks, which have had their best first half since 1991. OUSM focuses on high-quality, profitable small-cap companies with stable dividends and lower volatility, avoiding riskier 'junk' stocks. Analysts expect strong earnings growth for small caps, with the Russell 2000 Index forecasted to grow earnings by 38% in 2026. The ETF's emphasis on financial services and industrial sectors, along with less sensitivity to interest rate changes, positions it well for continued gains in the second half of the year amid favorable economic and market conditions.
