Growth vs. Value

Growth stocks have outperformed value on a trailing 12-month basis by the largest differential since the dot-com bubble. The return of the Wilshire US Large-Cap Growth Index through yesterday (9/2/20) is 44.5% compared with its Value Index companion's return of 10.0%.

This 34.5% difference compares with the 35.7% Growth over Value relative return ending March 23, 2000, near the market top of the dot-com period.

The chart shows the Growth and Value Indexes as well as the ratio of the two indexes. This ratio highlights the relative outperformance during the dot-com period and today. Yet more to ponder.
