For investors seeking momentum, Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD - Free Report) is probably on the radar. The fund just hit a 52-week high and is up 26.44% from its 52-week low price of $26.21/share.
But are more gains in store for this ETF? Let’s take a quick look at the fund and the near-term outlook on it to get a better idea of where it might be headed:
SCHD in Focus
The underlying Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index is designed to measure the performance of high dividend-yielding stocks issued by U.S. companies that have a record of consistently paying dividends, selected for fundamental strength relative to their peers, based on financial ratios. The product charges 6 bps in annual fees and has a dividend yield of 3.17% (see: all the Large Cap Value ETFs here).
Why the Move?
Dividend ETFs are increasingly returning to investors’ radar as persistent macro uncertainty and elevated volatility make a stronger case for rotating into more stable and income-generating assets. With concerns over AI-driven inflation also gaining traction and the recent weakness in the technology sector, dividend funds appear increasingly attractive.
Dividend-paying securities serve as primary sources of reliable income for investors, particularly during periods of equity market volatility. Companies offering dividends often act as a hedge against economic uncertainty.
More Gains Ahead?
Currently, SCHD has a Zacks ETF Rank #2 (Buy) with a Medium risk outlook. It might continue its strong performance in the near term, with a positive weighted alpha of 24.26 (as per Barchart.com), which gives cues of a further rally.
