Capital Group Core Equity ETF rated 'hold' due to higher P/E and slowing EPS growth despite quality portfolio.

The Capital Group Core Equity ETF (CGUS) maintains a 'hold' rating because its fundamentals are slightly weaker compared to the IVV ETF, and it has a higher price-to-earnings ratio of 25.41x. CGUS is currently facing short-term challenges from slowing earnings per share growth expected next year, a trend linked to underperformance across various investment styles this year. However, its portfolio quality, characterized by superior profit margins and capital efficiency, supports its long-term resilience. The ETF's sector allocation is similar to IVV, but its active management and significant technology exposure give it a growth-oriented tilt.

IVV trades at USD 773.25 on Pluang as of Oct 28, 2026 03:12 WIB, showing a 0.59% gain in one day. The ETF has a market cap of $880.62 billion and a 52-week high of $782.58. Pluang investors hold IVV for an average of 48 days, with 66% selling and 34% buying activity.
