Year to date, companies within the Russell 2000 that generate a profit continue to lead those that do not, although the unprofitable ones are steadily narrowing the margin.
Based on information from Bloomberg as of 8/21/2026, a business is classified as profitable if its earnings per share over the trailing 12-month period are strictly greater than $0. Please keep in mind that it is impossible to make a direct investment into an index. Furthermore, indexes are not actively managed, which means they do not incur any everyday costs, expenses, or management fees. As a final note, always remember that historical performance is not a guarantee of future results.
