SCHD ETF in 2025: Why This Dividend Darling Still Dominates (June 25 Update)

Wall Street's favorite 'boring' ETF just got interesting again.

Dividend Dynamo Defies Market Gravity

The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) continues its quiet reign as the anti-meme stock - delivering reliable returns while crypto bros chase the next vaporware token. With a 3.5% yield and lower volatility than the S&P 500, this fund proves slow money still wins races.

Sector Allocation Shakeup

Healthcare (22%) and tech (18%) now lead SCHD's holdings - a tactical pivot as consumer staples take a backseat. Meanwhile, the ETF's 0.06% expense ratio remains a middle finger to actively managed funds charging 10x more for worse performance.

The Bottom Line

In a market obsessed with AI hype and speculative garbage, SCHD remains the adult in the room. Because apparently someone still needs to fund all those YOLO trades.
