The iShares Core Dividend Growth ETF (DGRO) has been downgraded from Strong Buy to Buy due to shifts in macroeconomic and sector conditions. While DGRO remains attractive compared to peers like SCHD and VIG, especially for balancing tech exposure and dividend growth, the unraveling of the rate cut expectation has reduced its yield appeal. DGRO now serves more as a total return and defensive allocation option, offering about 7.4% dividend growth over five years and a 2% yield, though its absolute return potential has moderated.
SCHD trades at USD 33.45 with a 1-day gain of 0.57%, and VIG is priced at USD 241.25, up 0.50% as of Oct 13, 2026 17:41 WIB on Pluang. This steady performance contrasts with DGRO's downgrade, highlighting investor interest in dividend ETFs balancing growth and yield. Pluang users show a 67% buy activity for SCHD, indicating confidence in dividend growth strategies despite changing rate expectations.
