SPGP's Energy sector exposure was dramatically reduced at its last semi-annual reconstitution, and this change was positive from both a GARP and earnings quality perspective. Importantly, SPGP also looks good from a forward GARP perspective, evidenced by its 17.10x forward P/E and 14.63% one-year estimated earnings per share growth rate. However, SPGP is still vulnerable to getting stuck in sectors whose growth rates are trending downward. This article explains why Technology, Financials, and Energy are the three to watch.
The Invesco S&P 500 GARP ETF offers a diversified 75-stock portfolio blending value and growth characteristics from the S&P 500 universe. SPGP features balanced sector exposure, superior earnings and sales growth rates, and lower valuation multiples compared to SPY. Despite matching SPY's long-term returns, SPGP has higher volatility, a lower Sharpe ratio, and recent underperformance versus both SPY and key competitor GARP.
