The VictoryShares Dividend Accelerator ETF (VSDA) maintains a 'hold' rating due to its impressive dividend growth, with 3- and 5-year dividend CAGRs of 21.20% and 17.20%, respectively. However, much of this dividend growth is engineered since the underlying components' dividend growth averages only 6-7%. The ETF uses 14 factors to predict dividend growth but notably excludes earnings growth, which is now reflected in its fundamentals. Competing funds like NOBL, SDY, VIG, and FDVV show higher next-year earnings per share (EPS) growth rates, making VSDA less attractive from a total returns perspective compared to previous reviews. Investors should weigh the strong dividend growth against weaker earnings prospects when considering VSDA.
