When It’s Value vs. Growth, History Is on Value’s Side

Historically, value stocks have outperformed growth stocks in the US, and the outperformance in a given year has often been striking.

• Data covering nearly a century backs up the notion that value stocks—those with lower relative prices—have higher expected returns.

• Value premiums have often shown up quickly and in large magnitudes. For example, while the average annual value premium since 1927 has been 4.1%, in years when value outperformed growth, the average premium was over 14%.

• There is no evidence investors can reliably predict when value premiums will show up. Rather, a consistent focus on value stocks is essential to capturing these outsize value premiums when they do appear.
