U.S. growth stocks were once again among the best performers of 2019. However, a recent market rotation toward value stocks and two new international trade deals has the outlook for foreign value stocks looking relatively bullish heading into 2020.
The USMCA, the phase one trade deal with China and clarity on the Brexit situation in the U.K. has created more certainty in the global economy. After international stocks have lagged U.S. stocks in recent years, U.S. investors may start looking overseas in 2020.

Benzinga’s Take
While these value stocks could certainly have upside potential, investors may not want to assume that these foreign companies should be trading in-line with the earnings multiples of their U.S. counterparts. U.S. investors aren’t as familiar with these brands and they typically aren’t as trusting of the financial reporting in other countries.
