One way to understand the value of a company is to compare its stock price relative to the earnings analysts expect the company to produce in the next year. Since Covid-19, the price/earnings (p/e) of large companies has increased, while those of smaller companies has declined. This indicates that smaller companies are relatively cheap. These trends may move either direction in the short-term, however, they often revert to normal in the long-term. Long-term strategic investors should consider the valuation discrepancy as an opportunity to review their current allocation with their Ameriprise financial advisor.

“With major U.S. stock averages, like the S&P 500 and Dow, back near their high-water marks, investors should be a little more cautious of the near-term ‘direction of travel’ from here. For stocks to grind higher through year-end, profit expectations need to be met, outlooks need to remain largely positive, consumer/business trends need to stay on track, and the Fed still needs to land the plane into a soft-landing. Simply, a lot has to go right for stocks to continue to elevate from here." – Anthony Saglimbene, Ameriprise Chief Market Strategist

Rate cuts are finally coming. However, a lot must go right for stocks to move higher through year-end. Get more expert insights by reading the latest Weekly Market Perspectives.
