XRT: Retail ETF Likely To Underperform IVV Into 2027
I initiate coverage of the State Street SPDR S&P Retail ETF with a Hold rating. XRT has trailed IVV YTD, delivering a negative price return, and I expect its underperformance to continue into 2027 given the unsupportive macro picture. Higher interest rates and inflation weigh on consumer sentiment, creating a very challenging backdrop for retail names both in terms of top- and bottom-line growth.
