Is It Time to Buy the 5 Worst-Performing Value Stocks of 2021?
At first glance, this year looks like it has been a pretty good one for the market. As of Tuesday, the S&P 500 was up by a little more than 23% in 2021, and it was once again within striking distance of a record high.
A closer look, however, puts a curious twist on the story. While the broad market may be well up year to date, a select group of growth stocks has done the vast majority of the heavy lifting. Value stocks have underperformed, weighed down by steady businesses such as Discovery (NASDAQ: DISCA), International Paper (NYSE: IP), and Universal Health Services (NYSE: UHS). All three of these stocks are in the red for the year thus far, and they're hardly alone.
