US stock market sector rotation and tech performance

Overview

The US stock market has experienced a shift in performance trends within the technology sector and broader market indices. In mid-August 2026, data indicated a divergence between cap-weighted and equal-weighted S&P 500 tech stocks, with the equal-weighted slice returning 45.0% compared to 32.5% for the cap-weighted version.

By late August, this trend evolved into a significant sector rotation where value stocks began outperforming growth stocks at levels reminiscent of the 2022 bear market. The Russell 1000 Value Index gained approximately 29 percent over a twelve-month period, outpacing the Russell 1000 Growth Index's 11 percent rise.

Notably, this value-driven rally is being led by major technology companies such as Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft, rather than traditional value sectors. This movement reflects a complex interplay in how these tech giants are categorized and their impact on market rotation.
