FYI: Small-capitalization companies have been the relative standout performers of the U.S. stock market of late, with the group seen as offering investors some relief from the political and regulatory headwinds that have otherwise been dogging the economy’s largest names.
While small stocks have lagged over the longer term — eclipsed by the red-hot growth in megacap technology and internet names in 2017 in particular — they have staged something of a comeback over the past several weeks, seeing both stronger performance and less volatility than large-cap indexes like the S&P 500.
