Launched on 10/06/2003, the iShares U.S. Transportation ETF (IYT) is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to provide a broad exposure to the Industrials - Transportation/Shipping segment of the equity market.
I reiterate a buy rating on IYT due to its attractive valuation and constructive technical situation, despite underperforming the S&P 500 and DJIA over the past three years. IYT offers exposure to U.S. airline, railroad, and trucking companies, with a forward PEG ratio of 1.6 and a P/E ratio of 16.4x. Risks include sensitivity to the broader U.S. economy and oil prices, but potential upside exists if value sectors like Energy and Industrials trend up.

In this review I evaluate the iShares Transportation Average ETF (IYT) as an investment option, which is a fund that offers exposure to multiple sub-sectors within transport. I have historically held a cautious view on IYT, and this outlook has been vindicated over time.

Over the weekend I wrote, “Bulls want to see IYT hold above its 50-WMA. Otherwise, we believe IYT can get closer to the 200-WMA, but it will not fail it again.

iShares U.S. Transportation ETF includes high multiple US picks like railroad stocks and Uber, facing labor issues and government regulations.
