In 2026, large-cap value stocks have outperformed growth stocks for the first sustained period in years, driven by sectors like energy and financials benefiting from higher interest rates and stable earnings. Three key ETFs—Vanguard's VOOV, SPDR's SPYV, and iShares' IVE—track the S&P 500 Value Index and have returned around 6% year-to-date and nearly 19% over the past year, surpassing many growth-focused funds.

The continuation of this value rotation depends on earnings in financials and energy and the trajectory of long-term interest rates.
