FYI: Last summer, Goldman Sachs even questioned whether the markets were witnessing the death of value investing.
But if the recent market swoon world-wide is any indication, value stocks could be poised for a comeback, according to an analysis by Morgan Stanley.
Value stocks have historically tended to outperform growth in high-volatility environments, as investors seek what are perceived as safer and steadier stocks. Morgan Stanley defines high volatility as being when the Cboe Volatility Index—a commonly used measure—rises over 30. The VIX surged 116% on Feb. 5, its biggest one-day gain ever, finishing that day at 37.3, its highest since Aug. 2015.
