Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF has delivered a stunning 31% total return over the past year, outperforming my already bullish expectations and the S&P 500. SCHD's valuation at a 13.5x P/E remains well below the S&P 500, with sector allocations favoring healthcare, consumer defensive, and energy over technology.
