Small-caps have gotten off to a fast start to kick off 2026. The Russell 2000 index is already beating the S&P 500 by more than 8% year to date (through Jan. 21), and it's strung together more than a dozen straight trading days outperforming the large-cap index.
The Russell 2000 hasn't beaten the S&P 500 in a full calendar year since 2020. The Vanguard Russell 2000 ETF 's (NASDAQ: VTWO) price-to-earnings ratio of 17.5 indicates that there's a fair amount of value waiting to be unlocked in this segment of the market. Is 2026 the year it finally happens?
