EWU: Earnings Still Accelerating Despite Its Low Exposure To Growth Stocks

iShares MSCI United Kingdom ETF offers a 3.9% dividend yield but has limited long-term growth due to minimal tech sector exposure. EWU's portfolio is heavily weighted towards defensive sectors like consumer staples, healthcare, and utilities, limiting its growth potential. Improving macroeconomic conditions and expected earnings growth in 2025 and 2026 make EWU an attractive buy at its current valuation.

EWU: A Quarter Point Rate Cut Doesn't Flash A Buy Signal

iShares MSCI United Kingdom ETF tracks large and mid-cap British stocks and can serve as a portfolio hedge for US-centric investors. Since my last article, the British government has seen a power shift to the Labour Party and the Bank of England has cut its benchmark lending rate. I don't view either of those developments as bullish catalysts, leading me to keep my cautious outlook in place going forward.
