Stock Power Daily: January 3, 2023. [Turn Your Images On] Managing Editor’s Note: What’s your top concern for 2023? Let us know by participating in our simple [one-question survey here](. Your responses will help us give you the tools you need to thrive in the new year. — Chad Stone --------------------------------------------------------------- [We Capitalized as Value Crushed Growth in 2022 — What’s Next?]( - At the end of 2021, I was asked to make my bold prediction for the new year. - I went out on a limb and made a pretty unexpected call. - I don’t like to brag, but it looks like my prediction paid off. [Turn Your Images On] [Matt Clark, Research Analyst]( Adam O’Dell and I aren’t big on bold predictions, especially when it comes to the stock market. There are too many variables that make predicting what will happen impossible. So I struggled at the end of 2021 when we were asked for predictions on the 2022 market. I had a few in mind … but I mostly wanted to hedge and not go off the deep end. In the end, I dug deep and made a bold call. After decades of underperformance, I predicted value stocks would outperform growth stocks over the course of the year. And I was right. [Turn Your Images On] [(Click here to view larger image.)]( The chart above shows the movement of the S&P 500 Growth Index (SGX) and the S&P 500 Value Index (SVX). While neither made gains in 2022 due to a swell of market headwinds, the Value Index only fell 7.6%, while the Growth Index lost more than 30%. I will take a short victory lap here to show you how our Stock Power Ratings system helped us capitalize after this massive market shift. --------------------------------------------------------------- [Turn Your Images On]( [Is Oil on the Brink of a New Super Bull?]( Warren Buffett, Ray Dalio and Goldman Sachs all agree. Now’s the time to bet BIG on oil. And Adam O’Dell just revealed the details on his No. 1 oil stock for 2023. An oil company he believes could hit 100% gains in the next 100 days. And beat the gains of Exxon, Marathon and Occidental.

This chart below from LongtermTrends.net shows the Wilshire Growth vs. Value Ratio. [Turn Your Images On] [(Click here to view larger image.)]( It divides the Wilshire U.S. Large-Cap Growth Index by the Wilshire U.S. Large-Cap Value Index. When the ratio rises, growth stocks are outperforming value stocks. And the opposite is true when the ratio falls. The ratio climbed steadily to a high of 1.4 between 2016 and December 2021 … right around the time we were asked to make our bold prediction. What the ratio tells us is that growth stocks fueled the most recent decade-plus bull market run. I started to see a reversal into late December. The table was set for value stocks to begin a run. And that they did. The ratio is now at its lowest point since November 2019 … and it’s still falling. How did we capitalize in Stock Power Daily? These Value Stocks Did Well for Us in 2022 Our proprietary Stock Power Ratings system uses three technical factors (momentum, size and volatility) and three fundamental factors (value, quality and growth) to score thousands of stocks. In our Stock Power Daily, I look for stocks that score high in as many of those factors as possible. The idea is to find stocks that excel across the board, not just on one or two factors. I went back through our Stock Power Daily companies to find stocks with a high value rating that outperformed the rest of the market. I found several, but I’ll highlight two. The first is Encore Wire Corp. (Nasdaq: WIRE). Encore supplies industrial wire, cables and connectors used in the construction industry. [Turn Your Images On] [(Click here to view larger image.)]( At the time I told you about WIRE ([July 2022]( its price-to-earnings ratio was more than five times lower (cheaper) than the industry average. As I write, that ratio is now more than eight times lower! WIRE’s price-to-cash flow ratio is 3.72, while its industry peer average is 13.31. The result is that WIRE is up more than 26% from when I told you about it. Over the same time, the S&P 500 is down 3.5%. And that’s not all… --------------------------------------------------------------- [Turn Your Images On]( [Why 7 Billionaires Are Piling Into This Stock]( Thanks to a new battery technology, electric vehicles (EVs) may cost the same as gas-powered cars — by next year … and one company that pioneered this new technology could offer the investment of a lifetime. - It has already attracted seven billionaire investors… - The technology is protected by 200 patents… - It is expected to trigger a 1,500% surge in EV sales over the next 4 years. [See if this stock is a good fit for your portfolio.]( --------------------------------------------------------------- A Second Value Stock Win Another value stock that performed well is Ryerson Holding Corp. (NYSE: RYI). Of note: I reported on RYI [the day before]( I told you about WIRE. RYI is a global distributor of industrial metals (stainless steel, aluminum alloy, copper, etc.) used for industries including aerospace and automotive. [Turn Your Images On] [(Click here to view larger image.)]( When I told you about RYI, its strongest performance was on our value factor. As you can see from the graphic above, that hasn’t changed. Its current price-to-sales ratio is three times lower than the industry average. Its price-to-sales ratio is almost four times lower. RYI stock is up 30% from the time I told you about it. Congratulations on your gains if you bought into WIRE and RYI when I mentioned them.

The bottom line: Value stocks outperformed growth stocks in 2022. The biggest question now is: Will that trend last? According to the numbers, growth stocks have a lot of ground to make up to overtake value stocks.
