The Schwab Fundamental U.S. Small Company ETF (FNDA) has been downgraded from a buy to a hold rating because its earnings per share (EPS) growth and price momentum have declined. While FNDA still offers quality advantages by avoiding unprofitable biotech stocks, its growth-at-a-reasonable-price metrics have weakened. The ETF's next-year EPS growth estimate dropped from 17.40% to 14.99%, and sales growth is projected at 7.62%, which is inconsistent with the EPS forecast. This slowdown may pressure the ETF's price-to-earnings ratio going forward.
