Invesco Nasdaq Future Gen 200 ETF

QQQS tracks an equal-weighted index of 200 NASDAQ-listed stocks selected based on the value of their patent portfolios. The portfolio excludes the largest 200 stocks listed on NASDAQ.

The Russell 2000 Index was lower by 6.73% over the past month and is flirting with a new bear market. So it's easy for investors to be pessimistic regarding near-term prospects for small-caps equities and related ETFs.

Small-Caps Can Shed Bearish Ways

Small-caps and related ETFs have laggard large-cap counterparts in 2023, but there could be a silver lining to that scenario. Some of market observers' optimism when it comes to smaller stocks is attributable to at least two factors.

Optimism Abounds for Small-Caps

It's been a tumultuous year for small-cap equities and the relevant exchange traded funds. But there could be reasons to believe smaller stocks have rebound potential.

Small-Cap Stocks, ETFs Could Have Fuel for Rebound

Small-cap stocks and related exchange traded funds are taking a back seat to large-cap counterparts this year. The Russell 2000 Index has shed almost 5% over the past month.

Glimmers of Hope Emerge for Small-Caps

In the first few months of 2023, small-caps struggled mightily against their large-cap rivals, but smaller stocks recently cobbled together some momentum. Some market observers believe that the scenario has durability.

Small-Caps Gain Appeal Against Larger Peers

One of the most discussed equity market topics this year is the outsized contributions of mega-cap growth stocks in the first half and relatively benign contributions from smaller stocks. Fortunately for devotees of market breadth metric, that trend appears to be changing for the better.

Investors Display Budding Enthusiasm for Smaller Stocks

The big equity market story in the first half of the year was the artificial intelligence-fueled resurgence by mega-cap growth stocks. With the second half here, market participants are examining “what's next” opportunities.

Small-Caps Could Find Second-Half Grooves

In equity investing, there's no such thing as a free lunch, and that's particularly true when it comes to small-cap stocks. That asset class is popular with market participants due in part to strong growth prospects, and with that comes the possibility of elevated risk and volatility.

In what could be a crucial sign of broadening market leadership, small-caps are perking up in June, with both the Russell 2000 Index and the S&P SmallCap 600 Index higher since the start of the month.

Small-Caps Starting to Shine

For more than a year now, there's been ample discussion about whether or not the U.S. economy is in or approaching a recession. The surprisingly strong May jobs report out last Friday appears to have allayed some of those concerns.

Easing Recession Fears Could Propel Small-Cap Stocks

Mega-cap stocks — specifically seven members of the Nasdaq-100 Index (NDX) — accounted for a massive percentage of the broader market's upside through the first five months of this year. Conversely, small-cap stocks, which started 2023 in strong form, have sharply reversed for the worse.

Small-Cap Stocks Have Rebound Potential

Broader small-cap benchmarks are trailing large-cap rivals this year. That lethargy could give way to opportunities with smaller stocks and the related small-cap ETFs because macroeconomic conditions could turn for the worse.

Stars Could Be Aligning for This Small-Cap ETF

Following an impressive run in January and February, the past two-plus months have been unkind to small-caps as the Russell 2000 Index is saddled with an 11.41% fall over the past 90 days. That's correction territory.

Small-Caps Could Be Primed for Rebound

While employment data suggest otherwise, there are some signs the U.S. economy is slowing and there's ongoing debate regarding the Federal Reserve's ability to engineer a “soft landing.” That is to say, many market participants are concerned a recession will hit the world's largest economy later this year or in early 2024.

When It Comes to Recession Protection, Small Could Be Big

Amid the resurgence by mega-cap growth stocks and havoc wrought by multiple bank meltdowns, small-caps are trailing their larger rivals. For example, the Russell 2000 and S&P SmallCap 600 indexes are up an average of 2.65% year-to-date, as of April 4, while the large-cap S&P 500 was higher by 7.9%.

With Small-Caps Looking Interesting, Consider This Youthful ETF

Investors often turn to small-cap stocks and the related exchange traded funds in an effort to access strong growth prospects. As such, on a valuation basis, the cost of admission with smaller equities is usually high.

Invesco QQQ

Growth stocks are rebounding in the early stages of 2023 and that resurgence is being led by an assortment of familiar large- and mega-cap names. That's good news for a slew of exchange traded funds, including the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) and the Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF (QQQM).

Familiar Faces Powering Growth Stock Resurgence

Despite last year's weakness in large- and mega-cap growth stocks, it's likely that many investors' portfolios remain heavily allocated to big stocks while continuing to be under-allocated or not allocated at all to small-caps.

For Long-Term Investors, Small-Caps Could Be Winning Ideas

Small-cap stocks and the related exchange traded funds are getting in on the equity market rebound in early 2023. In fact, smaller stocks are playing clear leadership roles in the broader market resurgence.

Small-Cap Rally Augurs Well for This ETF

With the benefit of seven interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve, the U.S. dollar was one of the 2022 stars of the currency complex, pinching export-heavy sectors along the way.

Dollar Sturdiness Could Support This Small-Cap ETF

With 2022 poised to be a lousy year for large-cap stocks, it'd be reasonable to assume the same is true for small-cap equities like QQQS. To an extent, that's accurate.

Small-Cap Resurgence Could Be Near, Consider This New ETF

It's frequently said that in financial markets, history doesn't always repeat, but it often rhymes. Small-cap investors are likely to accept either a sequel or rhyme.
