SCHD is Having It's Breakout Year

Описание: My Portfolio & Connect:   / dividendbull  

After a lackluster couple of years, something really significant has been happening with SCHD. The Schwab Dividend Growth ETF has been soaring in 2026, outpacing all of its competitors, and appears to be catching up with its peers. We can see as of the making of this video, its share price has grown 9.37%. That’s more than a full year’s worth of growth in just the first month of this year. This performance has far exceeded that of the S&P 500, which is currently up 1.98% as of January 30th. If we compare SCHD to some of its peers, the outperformance is more apparent. Looking at the Schwab ETF side-by-side with VIG, which is likely its closest competitor, the Vanguard fund hasn’t come close to keeping up with SCHD in 2026.

If we compare it to VYM, which is Vanguard’s High Yield Dividend ETF, for which Vanguard apparently defines a high yield as 2.45%, this fund is also behind SCHD, although it’s doing a little better. The iShares Dividend ETF, DGRO, again hasn’t done as well with keeping up this year. The closest dividend growth ETF that has come to matching SCHD’s performance this year is SDY, State Street’s Dividend ETF. This one has done really well but still lags behind the Schwab fund. Interestingly, every dividend growth ETF we’ve looked at has outperformed the broad S&P 500 itself. So what’s the cause for SCHD’s surge this year, and why have all of these dividend growth ETFs been outperforming the market in 2026? In this video we’ll look at why that’s the case and why shareholders of SCHD have a good number of reasons to be optimistic.
