The materials sector is currently overvalued compared to its 11-year average, with mining and metals stocks being the most overpriced. However, these stocks have high quality scores which partly offset valuation concerns. The iShares Global Materials ETF (MXI) offers diversified exposure with less company-specific risk than the U.S.-focused XLB ETF, and has outperformed XLB by 10.1% in the past year mainly due to mining strength.
