DIVB: Solid Core Low-Cost Dividend ETF, But FDVV Still Wins
The iShares Core Dividend ETF offers a balanced blend of growth and income, with a 2.19% yield and 15.99x trailing P/E. DIVB's December 2022 strategy overhaul shifted focus toward dividends over buybacks and improved its alignment with the broader equity market. Post-strategy change, DIVB delivered 85.98% total returns over three years, ranking #14/102 in large-cap value ETFs.
DIVB: Don't Fear The AI Bubble, Diversify With Dividends And Buybacks
The iShares Core Dividend ETF is rated a Buy for investors seeking to diversify away from S&P 500 concentration risk. DIVB targets companies with high total shareholder yield (dividends plus buybacks), offering a value tilt and lower volatility (beta 0.88) compared to the S&P 500. With a low expense ratio (0.05%), and broad diversification across ~400 stocks, DIVB avoids single-stock risk, rewarding investors with robust capital returns.
DIVB: Outperformance, Despite Lower Yields
The iShares Core Dividend ETF blends dividend yields and buybacks, offering a conservative yet more growth-oriented alternative to pure income funds. DIVB trades at a 14.8x P/E, a 31% discount to the Russell 1000, with a 2.4% yield and double-digit dividend growth in key sectors. While underperforming the Russell 1000, DIVB has outperformed dividend peers over 3- and 5-year periods, aided by strong upside capture in bullish markets.
DIVB: A Solid And Cheap Core Dividend ETF, But I Prefer FDVV
Since its strategy change in December 2022, DIVB has delivered above-average dividends and total returns compared to competing large-cap value ETFs. It's also cheap, with an ER of just 0.05%. Its 2.85% estimated dividend yield is solid but certainly not in "high yield" territory, yet that's not what "core" dividend ETFs like DIVB attempt. Instead, it's all about balance. After covering DIVB's selection process, I'll highlight other dividend ETFs with above-average yields and total returns and compare their current fundamentals alongside DIVB's.
