Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF boosts tech holdings, raising cash yield to 5% amid AI growth.

The Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) has increased its exposure to technology stocks, with Texas Instruments and Qualcomm becoming its largest holdings after the recent rebalance. This shift has raised the fund's weighted average look-through cash yield to about 5%, driven by dividends and share buybacks. SCHD's mix of mature tech and traditional blue-chip stocks positions it well for potential higher cash-return growth, especially with the ongoing AI boom. Analysts are optimistic, with projections suggesting the yield could rise to between 7.7% and 8.8% over the next five years if growth continues.

SCHD holds a market cap of $108.67 billion and traded with a volume of over 20.6 million shares as of Oct 05, 2026 14:11 WIB on Pluang. Texas Instruments, now one of SCHD's largest holdings, has a market cap of $268.31 billion and a dividend yield of 2.07%, while Qualcomm's market cap stands at $194.48 billion with a 1.99% dividend yield. SCHD's price was stable at USD 32.72, showing no change in the last day on Pluang at the same time.
