Vanguard Small Cap ETF Stands To Lose In 2025
Small-cap stocks are currently in correction territory and have underperformed the S&P 500.

Buy The Small-Cap Correction: Why I See A 27% VB Return In 2025
I maintain a buy rating on VB due to its reasonable valuation, solid earnings growth, and bullish chart, despite a recent 10% correction. VB tracks the CRSP US Small Cap Index, offering a diversified small-cap portfolio with a modest P/E ratio and attractive PEG ratio near 1.5. The ETF has grown significantly in assets under management, features a low expense ratio of 0.05%, and has a forward dividend yield comparable to the S&P 500.
