I upgrade PAVE from hold to buy, citing fair valuation, strong technical momentum, and positive factors like rising copper prices and robust construction employment. PAVE, a large ETF with $8.8 billion AUM, invests in U.S. infrastructure-related companies, showing mixed value and growth exposure with a P/E ratio under 21. PAVE has outperformed the S&P 500 and Industrials Sector ETF over three years, despite less alpha since mid-2024, with strong support near $40.

America's infrastructure is in pretty rough shape. The American Society of Civil Engineers barely gave a passing grade to the country's infrastructure (C-) when it provided its last report card in 2021.
PAVE is rated as a Hold due to anticipated fiscal tightening under Trump's administration, which could limit federal infrastructure spending and impact the ETF's performance. PAVE's portfolio, heavily concentrated in industrials, has outperformed the S&P 500 but faces overvaluation concerns and lacks major future catalysts. Trump's economic plans favor private sector investment and reduced regulation, posing a headwind for infrastructure ETFs reliant on government funding.

The Global X U.S. Infrastructure Development ETF has outperformed in recent years due to a favorable macroeconomic backdrop. I believe several of the sectors' tailwinds are now set to reverse. Despite recent alpha generation, PAVE's long-term performance is in-line with the overall S&P 500, suggesting possible mean reversion and limited upside.
PAVE ETF invests in U.S. infrastructure-related companies, benefiting from government spending and long-term infrastructure needs, with a 0.47% expense ratio and $7.88 billion AUM. The ETF has a projected 10.43% earnings growth rate, but I conservatively estimate 7.8-9.7%, suggesting a 9.41% annual return. PAVE's valuation is decent but not compelling due to election uncertainty and potential longer-term overvaluation, with a current P/E ratio of 20.93x which might not hold.
