Comparison of ETFs: The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) offers lower costs and a higher yield compared to the ProShares S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats ETF (NOBL), making it appealing for long-term investors seeking dividend income.
Performance Metrics: Since 2013, SCHD has outperformed NOBL in total returns (253% vs. 216%), primarily due to its higher dividend yield and growth rate, despite NOBL showing slightly better price appreciation.
Portfolio Composition: SCHD holds a diverse portfolio with significant allocations in Energy, Consumer Defensive, and Healthcare sectors, while NOBL has a more concentrated approach with sector caps and equal weighting, leading to a different risk profile.
Market Considerations: Both ETFs may underperform compared to the broader S&P 500 during growth stock bull markets, suggesting they are better suited for more challenging economic conditions where dividend-paying stocks typically thrive.
Wall Street analysts forecast SCHD stock price to rise over the next 12 months. According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for SCHD is USD with a low forecast of USD and a high forecast of USD. However, analyst price targets are subjective and often lag stock prices, so investors should focus on the objective reasons behind analyst rating changes, which better reflect the company's fundamentals.
