2023 was the year of large-cap stocks, but 2024 may go down as the year small caps made their comeback. Small stocks, big possibilitiesEarlier this year, Bank of America’s head of US small & mid-cap strategy Jill Carey Hall outlined her take on so-called “SMID-cap” stocks in 2024. Her argument is simple: small-cap stocks are cheap, particularly value stocks, and they’re well-positioned to capitalize on market trends this year. Therefore, while small-cap stocks seem substantially cheaper than their large-cap counterparts, careful asset selection is needed, and we think it’s important to focus on quality.”10 best undervalued small-cap stocks to buyThere’s clearly an opportunity to be had in small-cap value stocks, though that opportunity still comes with its own risks.

Wall Street doesn't expect the stock market to perform very well this year. Investors should look for value and find specific winners in 2024 rather than bet on the entire market. Bank of America found stocks that should benefit from Fed rate cuts and expand their margins. Then again, the broader stock market isn't expected to do much better either. Mid-caps trail closely behind at a 5% to 6% discount, but small-caps trade at a tantalizing 16% discount.

Right now, they are the most attractive part of the market, trading at a 25% discount, he noted. "Initially, small caps were hit the hardest during the early stages of the pandemic," Sekara said. "I think a lot of people just worried if those companies would actually survive the pandemic or not, just because as small-cap stocks, they didn't have the same financial wherewithal as large-cap stocks."
