The iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF offers targeted exposure to the U.S. home construction sector, with a 0.38% expense ratio. ITB currently trades at an attractive valuation, with a weighted average trailing P/E of 12.3x, versus the S&P 500's 25.1x.

iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF is rebounding as housing market conditions improve, with declining mortgage rates and rising home sales. ITB's portfolio holdings, including DHI, LEN, PHM, TOL, and BLD, are expected to return to positive financial growth in 2026 and beyond. Despite a current strong sell quant rating due to past momentum and volatility, improving fundamentals and market trends support a bullish outlook for ITB.

Recent headwinds include political criticism, a sector downgrade, and soft demand, but long-term prospects remain positive for technically well-positioned builders like DHI, KBH, MHO, PHM, and TOL.
