DIVB: Steady Amid Macro Volatility, Reiterate Buy, 2.8% Yield

  • I maintain a buy rating on iShares Core Dividend ETF due to its attractive valuation, strong dividend growth, and substantial increase in assets under management. DIVB's portfolio is heavily weighted towards large-cap value stocks, with significant exposure to Information Technology and Financials, offering a lower-beta, income-focused investment. The ETF's PEG ratio has improved, with a P/E of 14.8x and long-term EPS growth rate of 8.7%, making it reasonably valued.
