IYC: Now's Not The Time To Buy U.S. Consumer Discretionary Stocks
IYC tracks an Index of U.S. Consumer Discretionary stocks. It has a 0.38% expense ratio and $1.4B in assets and launched nearly 26 years ago, making it an extremely well-established ETF. IYC has historically performed well when earnings growth rates were above market. However, that's not the case today, and IYC has further headwinds with poor earnings surprises and earnings revisions. IYC also doesn't hold a value or quality advantage over the Russell 3000 Index. My analysis highlights its elevated 23.45x forward P/E ratio and operating margins that lag by 13%.
