Australian-listed small-capitalisation industrial stocks have rallied since March 2015, while industrials in the S&P/ASX 50 have generally underperformed. Investor support for small-caps has been driven by factors such as an upturn in the sector’s return on equity (ROE), as well as a corresponding decline in ROE for larger stocks. Meanwhile, Matthew Ross of Goldman Sachs says valuations in the small-cap sector may have become stretched.
