IVE iShares S&P 500 Value ETF : Bullish and Bearish Analyst Opinions

I think we are in a point where you want to play the stagflation playbook. A little known fact, one of the best-performing indices during the 70's for inflation was large-cap value. In a stagflationary environment characterized by sticky inflation and rising interest rates, long-duration growth stocks suffer severe multiple compression. Large-cap value stocks, which typically have near-term cash flows, strong balance sheets, and pricing power, become the optimal safe haven for equity allocations. LONG If the oil shock causes a deep, immediate recession rather than stagflation, value stocks (which are often economically sensitive) could still suffer absolute drawdowns.
