Mid-Cap Value Stocks

Stocks of medium-sized companies that are less expensive or growing more slowly than other mid-cap stocks. The market capitalization range for U.S. mid-caps typically falls between $1 billion and $8 billion and represents 20% of the total capitalization of the U.S. equity market. Value is defined based on low valuations (low price ratios and high dividend yields) and slow growth (low growth rates for earnings, sales, book value, and cash flow).
