SDVY - SDVY: DGI Investors Should Avoid This Small/Mid-Cap Rising Dividend Achievers ETF
First Trust SMID Cap Rising Dividend Achievers ETF
2024-03-28 01:01:51 ET
Summary
SDVY tracks an equal-weighted basket of small- and mid-cap stocks exhibiting strong historical dividend growth characteristics. Fees are 0.60% and SDVY yields 1.75% (1.55% expected).
DGI investors typically seek positive trends in dividend growth and earnings. However, SDVY's requirement only requires positive growth from three years ago.
As a result, SDVY holds many high-growth companies from three years ago, but about 50% have negative one-year trailing and expected earnings per share growth.
The likely result is low dividend growth, share price depreciation, or both. Either way, SDVY not suitable for DGI investors, and I have assigned a "sell" rating.
