ETF Sector Relative Strength Corner: Value Sector Offering Safety Into Year End

by | Nov 28, 2021

Vanguard Value (VTV) – As the market sees some sell side action and defensiveness to end November, potential opportunities with rotations into value related stocks are worth watching. The VTV is the Vanguard ETF for Value stocks which are defined as more stable and low beta groups such as Banks, Staples, and Healthcare. The group is up +19% year to date and recently made new highs into 145. The Friday pullback in stocks saw value names suffer less and VTV closed off the lows of the day ahead of the big YTD VPOC support near 140. Value stocks have historically done well into December with VTV being higher 11 of the last 15 years in December. Continued upside in interest rates could propel this group to more highs and be a nice way to hide out in safety lower beta names. The VTV is still in its 85th percentile of its year to date price range and weekly RSI is staying above 50 all year indicating a strong bull trend. VTV also pays a 2.2% annual dividend. The ETF’s top holdings are BRB/B, JPM, UNH, JNJ, BAC, PG, XOM, PFE, CMCSA, ABT, PEP with the first 5 names making up about 13% of the index and all being in the Financials and Healthcare sectors. The best looking charts in the space within bullish uptrends are UNH, JPM, BAC, PFE, and PG. Many of the value based stocks should hold up better during an overall market pullback so picking the best setups from this group can work or just simply trading the VTV as a basket makes it easy.
