SDY: Passive Dividend Income For Long-Term Growth

SDY offers diversified exposure to high-yield dividend aristocrats, with a 2.52% yield and a low 0.35% expense ratio, making it attractive for income-focused portfolios. US reindustrialization and legislative incentives like the One Big Beautiful Bill Act could benefit SDY's industrial-heavy portfolio, supporting potential growth in the coming quarters. Despite its appealing yield and cost, SDY has underperformed peers like NOBL, which offers higher returns but less diversification.

SDY Is a Popular Dividend ETF for Passive Income. But Is It the Best?

When it comes to investing, it makes a lot of sense for many of us to opt for exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which are funds that trade like stocks.

SDY: Dividend Stocks Give Way To The Mag 7 In Q2 (Rating Downgrade)

I am downgrading SPDR® S&P Dividend ETF to a hold due to flat performance and waning relative strength since last summer. Valuation remains unchanged with a P/E above 18x - cheaper than the S&P 500, but not a compelling bargain given a lofty PEG ratio. Technical momentum is weak, with shares under resistance and bearish RSI trends, despite historically strong July seasonality.
