Some investors believe the relative cheapness of value stocks, which include energy companies, banks and industrial conglomerates, will catapult them to leadership if the nascent US economic revival gains momentum, shifting focus from the big technology-related stocks that have led markets during the coronavirus pandemic.

Plenty of market participants doubt value will return anytime soon, or that such a move can be timed profitably.
