SDOG: Did I Underestimate This 3.76% Yielding Dividend Dogs ETF?

SDOG is an equal-weight-by-sector large-cap ETF with a 3.76% expected dividend yield. Despite my recent cautionary note, SDOG has outpaced SPY by 3.69% over the last three months. Still, other high-dividend ETFs performed well over this period, including SCHD, DHS, SPYD, and to a lesser extent, DIV. My analysis compares SDOG fundamentally with all four of these. It reveals that SPYD's quality features, though improved from May, could still be lacking, leaving shareholders vulnerable in a market downturn. Its primary advantage is a 13.50x forward P/E.

Beat Cash Yields With This Dividend ETF

With three-year Treasury yields hovering around 3.9% as of Aug. 9, it may not be surprising that, by some estimates, there's $6.5 trillion sitting in money market accounts. Due to high interest rates, cash instruments are more appealing than they've been in years.

SDOG: 4% Dividend Yield Isn't Enough For What These Dividend Dogs Sacrifice

SDOG's strategy is to select the five highest-yielding S&P 500 Index stocks from each of the 10 GICS sectors (excluding Real Estate) and weight them equally. It currently features an attractive 4.00% yield and has one of the lowest forward P/E's in the large-cap value category. However, that's where the good news ends. My analysis reveals SDOG scores near the bottom on other key factors like growth, momentum, quality, and sentiment. This unbalanced approach leads to inconsistent returns.

Past S&P 500 Performance Bodes Well for This Dividend ETF

SDOG: Old-Economy Value Play, Tepid Growth, Mostly Soft Performance

Targeting stocks with high dividend yields, SDOG ends up accumulating mostly slowly-growing old-economy companies, like those from the tobacco and oil & gas industries. While possibly beneficial amid downturns, it is anything but opportune when enthusiasm returns, as value-heavy portfolios have smaller potential to participate in the bull run. ALPS Sector Dividend Dogs ETF's smart beta strategy also boosts its value profile while detracting from growth.
