The Russell 2000 index, representing small-cap stocks, has outperformed the S&P 500 with a 20.5% gain since the start of 2026 and a 37% rise compared to last year. Goldman Sachs attributes this strong performance to three main factors: growth in the artificial intelligence sector, a robust economic environment, and a rebound in biotechnology stocks. This marks a significant shift, as the Russell 2000 had underperformed the S&P 500 by nearly 300% over the past 15 years. The trend suggests renewed investor interest in smaller companies, potentially signaling more opportunities in this segment going forward.
