The grass is not always greener on US stock markets
Briefly

The article examines the shifting performance between US and European stock markets in light of Donald Trump's unpredictable policies. The S&P 500 has declined by 6% this year, while European indices like the FTSE 100 and Stoxx Europe 600 have seen gains. Despite a trend of European companies moving to the US for perceived better valuation, a recent report shows many have underperformed since their transition, challenging the notion that US listings guarantee better stock performance. Only a small percentage of these companies have outperformed the S&P 500 post-switch.
The analysis shows that 70% of European companies that have moved to the US are trading below their listing price; fewer than a fifth have beaten the S&P 500.
Will that be enough to stop the exodus of UK and other European companies to the supposedly higher-valued and more liquid US markets? It ain’t necessarily so.
