Small- and mid-cap companies have long lagged the broader market due to a slew of challenges, including higher interest rate expectations. However, the strategy head acknowledged that not all small- and mid-cap stocks are the same. The former has been the most consistent small-cap group in economic regimes like this one, though quality stocks can also be a strong choice. Below are the other eight SMID-cap stocks with earnings prospects that Bank of America is bullish about now. Along with each is its ticker, market capitalization, sector, Z-scores for earnings and revenue (higher is better), and Q1 earnings report date (soonest are listed first).

This month's rout in smallcap stocks has erased the Russell 2000's sparkling first quarter gain, and the benchmark index for smaller shares could face further trouble ahead so long as interest rates are left unchanged. A hotter-than-expected March inflation report on Wednesday pushed investors on Wall Street to extend out expectations for the Federal Reserve's first interest rate cut to September from June, according to the CME Group's FedWatch tool . The Fed's last interest rate increase in the current cycle was in July, 2023. Servicing debt Hall specifies that the risk to smallcaps is tied to the effect of higher interest rates on refinancing needs. "Higher for longer [interest rates have] generally been good for small cap stocks.

It has been a tough year thus far for small-cap stocks, but Bank of America has some fresh ideas for finding value in the space. Despite a bounce this month, the Russell 2000 index of small-cap stocks has slipped a fraction this year while the large-cap S & P 500 has climbed almost 7%. Against that underperformance, Bank of America strategist Jill Carey Hall recently screened for small-cap value names with strong fundamentals. She scanned the Russell 2000 for profitable stocks that are in the top 20th percentile on one or more valuation metrics, including price-to-book, price-to-earnings and enterprise value-to-sales ratios. The stock placed within the top 20% of the Russell 2000 when looking at the enterprise value to sales ratio.

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.

The year-end rally we've been enjoying could get another lift as companies scoop up shares of their own stock. Those gains are driven mainly by falling Treasury yields, as well as third-quarter results that have come in largely better than anticipated. But some market observers expect equities could get another boost from the number of companies exiting the "buyback blackout" window. This period spans several weeks around quarterly results when companies are restricted from repurchasing shares. As of the survey's close last Tuesday, that would mean the S & P 500 would reach 4,945, or an all-time high.

Small and mid-cap stocks are providing cash-flow opportunities, according to Bank of America. If you're looking for cash in the form of buybacks and dividends, small and mid-cap stocks may be a good bet, according to a Bank of America note from August 14. Earlier this year, the bank warned investors to remain discerning when it comes to buying in small-cap stocks. When an economy is on the mend, small-cap value stocks tend to rally ahead, leading the recovery by outperforming their larger counterparts over multiple years, according to David Wagner, portfolio manager for the SmallCap Value Fund at T. Rowe Price (PRSVX). Earlier in August, Bank of America held a virtual conference with executives from 20 small and mid-cap companies.

Its equity strategists say that value criteria tend to work best in small- and mid-cap stocks. They added that small caps are an especially good pathway to diversification right now. But they noted that investors can use small caps to diversify their portfolios while also being rewarded for better stock picking. "High Projected Long-Term Growth has not been a strong stock selection factor over the long-term," they wrote. "The best way to pick stocks within small caps over the long-term has been buying stocks with high free cash flow to enterprise value" and other metrics based on free cash flow yields.

Bank of America says it believes the Federal Reserve is done raising interest rates for now. The biggest question for investors and market participants today is whether the Federal Reserve is really done raising interest rates — for now, at least.

They're also recommending a related but slightly different approach based on the types of stocks that have typically succeeded right after the Fed has stopped raising rates. The following stocks fit all three of the quality, value, and technical criteria and had "Buy" ratings from Bank of America's analysts as of May 16.
