Summary · why it matters

Value stocks are significantly outperforming growth stocks in 2026, with the Vanguard Value ETF up 14.4% year to date through June 26, compared to just 1.8% for the Vanguard Growth ETF. The rotation into value, defensive, and dividend-paying names accelerated in June as the Federal Reserve’s hawkish stance, inflation above 4%, and the war in Iran drove risk aversion. While growth briefly regained leadership in April and May on strong tech earnings, the market is now more focused on macro uncertainties than on the AI boom, which appears largely priced in. Analysts expect value to remain favored for the rest of the year, especially if geopolitical and inflation risks persist.
