WHAT YOU
THINK

On 9/10/25, Co-CIO Francis Gannon talked with Lead Anchor Nicole Petallides of schwabnetwork.com about the absolute and relative strength in the current small-cap rally, which has seen small-cap stocks assume leadership off the market’s early April lows.

Watch the interview.

Francis observed that, even amid their recent outperformance, small-caps remain more attractively valued than large-cap stocks—and therefore may represent the better long-term opportunity. He followed up by saying that earnings would ultimately decide which market cap segments would perform best over the long run. He remarked that small-caps could outpace large-caps in 4Q25 before going on to say that he sees opportunities in industrials and that a shift appears to be under way where he's co beneficiaries, which he also sees as a positive for small-caps.
