The rebound in the S&P 500 and expectations of resilient earnings signal a risk-on shift. Growth ETFs may be poised for a rebound.

Starting January 1, 2026, workers who earned more than $145,000 in FICA wages (Social Security wages, Box 3 of Form W-2) from their employer in the prior year can no longer make pre-tax catch-up contributions to their 401(k) or similar plan.

I upgrade iShares S&P 500 Growth ETF from 'Hold' to 'Buy,' citing war-driven selloff and robust earnings growth driving valuations to multi-year lows. IVW's forward P/E has dropped to attractive levels, with tech sector earnings growth and mega-cap valuation corrections enhancing its rebound potential. The ETF's high beta and tech-heavy portfolio position it for sharp recovery, supported by historical post-war market rebounds and strong sector earnings forecasts.

The iShares S&P 500 Growth ETF (IVW) was launched on May 22, 2000, and is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to offer broad exposure to the Large Cap Growth segment of the US equity market.

For the first time since 2022, “value” has started to outperform “growth,” and it's started in the small-cap asset class. “Growth” has smoked “value” for the last 12 quarters in terms of total return, and growth beat value across all three asset classes (large, mid and small-cap) for those 12 quarters until this last quarter of 2025.

S&P 500 momentum and retail inflows set the stage for a potential 2026 rally, with ETFs offering ways to ride the bullish trend.
