The VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat Index underwent its Q2 2026 review, with AI-driven downgrades of economic moat ratings, especially in software, causing significant turnover. Despite reduced tech exposure, some undervalued tech stocks were added, while consumer discretionary, financials, and health care sectors increased their weights.
