What changed: The story was expanded to include additional value stock recommendations from Zacks.com and identified geopolitical tensions and Fed policy as key drivers of market volatility.

Ari Sass, manager of the M.D. Sass Concentrated Value ETF, has identified Williams (WMB) and Henry Schein (HSIC) as significant bargain opportunities as value stocks continue to outperform growth in 2026. Expanding on this trend, Zacks.com has recommended five additional high-earnings-yield value stocks: VIST, AGRO, FSM, DAN, and CPRI. Current market volatility is being driven by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and persistent uncertainty regarding Federal Reserve policy. While the Vanguard Value ETF (VTV) has gained 3.3% year-to-date, the Vanguard Growth ETF (VUG) has faced a sharp 9.5% decline. Sass's investment strategy prioritizes companies offering sustainable growth at reasonable valuations to navigate these macroeconomic risks. These picks highlight a broader institutional shift toward fundamentally strong assets and stability over high-multiple growth stocks.
