EWU: I Have Little Interest In British Equities In 2025
Evaluating iShares MSCI United Kingdom ETF as an investment option at its current market price. Previously held EWU but turned cautious in mid-2024 due to anticipated headwinds, favoring the S&P 500 for better value. The country's lower valuation does not entice me enough to consider exposure to a country with so much geo-political and trade risk at the moment.

EWU: The U.K. Is Among The Cheapest Markets In The World
I have a buy rating on EWU due to its low valuation, high dividend yield, and favorable equity risk premium in the UK market. iShares MSCI United Kingdom ETF offers targeted exposure to large- and mid-sized UK companies, with a notable low P/E ratio and strong long-term EPS growth forecast. Despite weak recent price action and technical concerns, EWU's valuation and sector diversification provide potential benefits, especially for those with high US exposure.

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.
