S&P Revises Growth and Value Stock Criteria, Impacting Passive Funds
S&P Dow Jones Indices will revise its criteria for classifying growth and value stocks, incorporating intangible assets, forward earnings, and free cash flow while removing 12-month price momentum. These changes, effective at the December 21 annual reconstitution, aim to better reflect company valuations, especially for intellectual-property-heavy firms. Approximately $375 billion in passive funds linked to the index may be affected. FTSE Russell is also reviewing its growth-value split amid technology sector dominance.
