The ProShares Russell 2000 Dividend Growers ETF (SMDV) has been downgraded from Buy to Hold because of downside risk and a negative projected return over the next six months. Although SMDV has rallied significantly, it still underperforms the S&P 500 and Russell 2000 over longer periods. The ETF focuses on small-cap dividend growth stocks with a median P/E of 15.9 and a 2.9% yield but currently trades near all-time highs, reducing its attractiveness compared to alternatives like REGL and NOBL. Investors with a cautious or bearish outlook are advised to hold cash or consider reallocating to mid-cap or large-cap dividend ETFs instead of SMDV at current levels.
