Both the S&P 400 (SP400) and the S&P 600 (SP600) are maintaining above prior breakout levels and their 200-day average.
Oppenheimer research analysts see this as “an untapped firepower for the next leg of the cycle,” according to a research note.
In addition, mid-cap growth (MDYG) is the analysts’ top rotation idea.
“We believe it strikes an attractive balance between secular growth leadership and intermediate-term rotation potential in lower-capitalized stocks,” they wrote.
Mid-cap growth has been a key driver of stronger mid-cap trading since the beginning of 2024, analysts expect this leadership to continue “if a broad-based market breakaway finally materializes over the coming months.”
