IYM: Materials Dashboard For September
The construction materials industry is undervalued by about 9% relative to 11-year averages and shows an excellent quality score. The mining/metals subsector is close to its historical baseline in both value and quality. IYM implements a capped weighting methodology, but it doesn't make a significant difference with XLB in concentration. The latter is more attractive on several points.

IYM: Basic Materials ETF Is Competitive, But Not Superior
IYM is 1/10 the size of peer XLB, and there are many good reasons for that. Concentrating on the metals and mining industry within the basic materials sector can outperform the broader materials sector. We don't see an urgent use for IYM and rate it as a sell.
