Summary
DGRO Chart
DGRO's Growth Is Better Valued Than VYM's Yield
I reiterate a buy on the Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index Fund ETF and upgrade the iShares Core Dividend Growth ETF to a strong buy, favoring DGRO's growth-adjusted valuation with the updated rate cut outlook. Both DGRO and VYM are attractively valued when compared to the SP500 approximated by VOO when adjusted for yield and growth. Between DGRO and VYM, DGRO's focus on dividend growth and tech exposure offers an even stronger risk/return profile.
DGRO: Dividend Growth And Leading Companies Make This Fund A Buy
The iShares Core Dividend Growth ETF is rated a strong buy for its quality holdings and consistent dividend growth. DGRO's top holdings, including Apple, Johnson & Johnson, and Exxon Mobil, demonstrate robust fundamentals and industry leadership supporting future dividend growth. The fund's top 10 holdings averaged 30.32% dividend growth over five years, but several exhibit payout ratios outside the healthy 35–55% range.
DGRO Is A Wealth Compounding Machine, But Nobody Is Talking About Its Biggest Weakness
iShares Core Dividend Growth ETF has a strong track record as a dividend growth and wealth compounding machine. However, it has a key structural weakness. We look at this weakness more deeply and explain why it prevents us from wanting to own it.
