I downgrade the State Street SPDR S&P Health Care Equipment ETF to a Hold. I expect XHE to underperform IVV into 2027, as its factor mix heavy in expensive stocks with inadequate growth and questionable quality is at a disadvantage compared to IVV. XHE has a considerable allocation to loss-making, net CFFO-negative firms, which exposes it to serious risks amid higher rates.

The fund mentioned is designed to offer investors exposure to the healthcare equipment sector by closely tracking the performance of the S&P Health Care Equipment Select Industry Index. By employing a sampling strategy, the fund aims to mirror the index's performance as closely as possible. This involves the fund investing a majority, if not all, of its assets in the securities that are included in the index.
