EWL: Switzerland Stocks Not Cheap Enough
A valuation gap exists between US and European equities, with European stocks, including Swiss equities, being significantly cheaper even after accounting for sector differences. I have a hold rating on the iShares MSCI Switzerland ETF due to its higher P/E ratio and recent bearish trends in the healthcare sector. EWL's technical situation is concerning, with support levels at $45 and $41.50–42.00 suggesting buying on dips rather than at current prices.

EWL ETF: Advisable To Take Some Profits Now (Rating Downgrade)
The iShares MSCI Switzerland ETF (EWL), an established low-churn ETF covering 46 Swiss stocks has done reasonably well over the past 10 months generating returns of 22%. We are now revising our rating on EWL from a BUY to a HOLD on account of subdued macros and potential FX volatility. EWL's top holding is Nestle with a 16% weighting, but it is undergoing top management churn and could see a directional pivot as new management seeks to frontload one-time costs.

EWL: Slower Growth Relative To The S&P 500 Index
iShares MSCI Switzerland ETF has underperformed the S&P 500 index due to low exposure to growth sectors. EWL's sector allocation is heavily weighted towards defensive sectors, while growth sectors have minimal representation. Switzerland's manufacturing PMI has shown signs of improvement, but the direction of the services sector is uncertain.

EWL Offers Durability At A Cost
Switzerland has shown resilience during the COVID-19 crisis and following inflation surge. The iShares MSCI Switzerland ETF (EWL) provides exposure to Swiss stocks and has provided downside protection and good returns since inception. EWL is not cheap and its current opportunity set does not justify the costs.
