The Invesco Food & Beverage ETF (PBJ) has been downgraded to a Hold rating due to expectations it will underperform the broader market ETF IVV through 2027. The analyst notes that despite some macroeconomic stress factors resembling those in 2022, the underlying conditions differ, making defensive investments like PBJ less attractive. PBJ lacks strong earnings resilience, growth at a reasonable price (GARP) characteristics, and quality, which increases its risk of underperformance. While an upside surprise is possible, it would require a significant worsening of macroeconomic conditions, which is not anticipated.
