Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF expected to drop 7-14% amid European stagflation concerns

The Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF (VGK) is predicted to decline by 7-14% due to expected stagflation in Europe, characterized by rising inflation and weak economic growth. The current risk premium and earnings yield of VGK are considered insufficient to offset these macroeconomic challenges, including sovereign yield spreads. The analyst rates VGK as a HOLD, suggesting investors wait for a higher risk premium before buying. This outlook reflects personal analysis and emphasizes caution amid Europe's uncertain economic environment.

The story discusses stagflation risks in Europe and the Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF (VGK). For readers following US stocks on Pluang, here is the market snapshot as of Oct 20, 2026 02:01 WIB: out of 150 priced stocks, 60 rose and 90 fell. Notable movers include MRNA at USD 226.31 (+3.81%), ZM at USD 97.55 (+3.57%), and SNOW at USD 317.63 (+3.52%).
