Comparison of ETFs: The Vanguard Growth ETF (VUG) and Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) both focus on U.S. large-cap growth stocks, with VUG offering broader diversification and lower fees (0.04% vs. 0.20% for QQQ), while QQQ has a higher concentration in fewer stocks and a slightly better historical performance.
Holdings and Sector Allocation: QQQ tracks the NASDAQ-100 Index with 101 stocks, heavily weighted in technology (55%), while VUG tracks the CRSP U.S. Large Cap Growth Index with 160 stocks and a similar sector distribution, making it more diversified.
Investment Considerations: The choice between VUG and QQQ largely depends on an investor's preference for diversification versus cost, as VUG's lower fees can lead to significant savings over time, especially for long-term investors.
Performance Metrics: Both ETFs have shown similar earnings over the past five years, but QQQ has a slight edge in one- and five-year total returns, making the decision between them more about individual investment strategy than performance alone.
Wall Street analysts forecast QQQ stock price to rise over the next 12 months. According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for QQQ is USD with a low forecast of USD and a high forecast of USD.
