12 Cheapest Stocks In The S&P 500

Value stocks have underperformed growth stocks for over a decade, and 2019 is no exception. So far this year, the Vanguard Growth ETF VUG is up 23.5%, while the Vanguard Value ETF VTV is up just 13.7%.

JPMorgan recently said value stocks are currently trading at their largest discount to growth stocks in the past 30 years.

John Lynch, Chief Investment Strategist at LPL Financial, said this week that growth stocks have historically performed relatively well during the first year following a Federal Reserve rate cut, assuming the U.S. economy doesn’t fall into a recession. Despite the historical trend, Lynch said he still recommends buying value stocks today.

“We would still recommend tilting equity allocations slightly toward the value style because of the duration and magnitude of the growth rally, which has left value stocks attractively valued in our view,” Lynch said.
