The Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG) is rated as a Hold due to its slow dividend growth and a modest 1.52% yield. Although it recently announced a 7.5% quarterly dividend increase, the year-to-date growth is only 3.3%, which is below historical averages. VIG's low yield and high price-to-earnings ratio limit its attractiveness compared to alternatives like DGRO, which offers higher yield, better diversification, and lower volatility despite a slightly higher expense ratio. Investors might reconsider VIG if dividend recovery and earnings estimates improve, particularly around the $225–$230 price range.
VIG is currently trading at USD 237.58 on Pluang, showing a 0.68% increase in the last day. As of Sep 28, 2026 02:21 WIB, its market cap stands at $132.40 billion with a 52-week range between $210.70 and $246.61.
