Meet the Magnificent Small-Cap ETF Crushing the S&P 500 in 2026. Is It Still a Buy?
It all comes down to what your goal is for the investment.
Overview
Larger companies tend to get much more attention in the stock market than smaller ones, which makes sense. People interact much more with Apple, Coca-Cola, or Amazon than with a regional mining company, niche pharmaceutical company, or local bank.
However, attention doesn't always translate to stock market performance. There are plenty of small-cap stocks that have performed well and continue to do so. The iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSEMKT: IWM) is a good example of this, outperforming the S&P 500 by 20.5% to 7.2% so far this year, as of market close on June 26.
Details
Given its recent performance, is IWM still a buy? It depends on your objective.
