VBR: The Selling Is Overdone, A Compelling Valuation After A 23% Decline
President Trump's tariffs have severely impacted markets, with US small-cap value stocks like VBR down 23% from their November 2024 high. Despite the downturn, VBR's valuation is compelling at a P/E ratio near 12x, and I maintain a buy rating on the ETF. VBR's sector breakdown includes significant weights in Financials, Industrials, and Consumer Discretionary, with a relatively low expense ratio of seven basis points.

EXCLUSIVE: 'Higher For Longer' Interest Rates Shift Investors To Value, Tariff Fears Overstated, Says WisdomTree Expert
With ultra-low interest rates firmly in the rearview mirror, Jeff Weniger, Head of Equity Strategy at WisdomTree, has a clear message for investors: “Anything in the high-4s on a 10-year Treasury rate puts the S&P 500's earnings yield at a level where it either barely exceeds or does not exceed the risk-free yield.”

3 Reasons Why VBR (Value Small-Cap) Could Hold Hidden Alpha
Small-cap value stocks are attractive due to unusual momentum, a favorable P/E ratio, and a conservative macroeconomic context. Vanguard Small-Cap Value ETF stands out with a low expense ratio (0.07%), strong momentum, and a competitive dividend yield (1.92%). The risk of a disruption caused by Trump, along with a return to market risk appetite, remains a positive factor for small caps but a negative one for the value.
