HDV: Nice Rally, Now Sell This Dividend Weakling

  • HDV's 3.45% dividend yield is underwhelming given the mediocre quality of its current portfolio holdings. Despite a recent market-wide pop, HDV offers no meaningful alpha and remains a 'dead money' situation in my view. Compared to SPY and even RSP, HDV consistently underperforms, only occasionally outpacing RSP when its own returns are weak.
