Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF Sees Inflows Amid Volatility

Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF ( $SCHD ) has fallen by 0.71% in the past week. It has experienced a 5-day net inflow of $344.7 million.
This is due, in part, to market sentiment on some of the ETF’s largest holdings. For example:

• Lockheed Martin gained fresh momentum as Firefly Aerospace’s Alpha rocket successfully delivered a demo payload for the company into orbit, helping restore confidence after earlier launch failures that even cost a Lockheed satellite. Separately, Lockheed’s Sikorsky unit is restarting production of upgraded S‑92A+ helicopters for government and offshore energy customers, though Wall Street still sees only limited upside, with LMT rated a Hold.
• Conocophillips has been riding the latest oil rally, with its shares edging higher as Brent and WTI prices jumped back above $100 amid the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict and threats to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. A possible 30‑day waiver of the Jones Act could further support U.S. producers like ConocoPhillips by lowering transport costs and improving their competitiveness, even as analysts’ targets currently suggest only modest or negative near-term price upside.
• Chevron also advanced as crude prices spiked on growing Middle East tensions and Iran’s warning that oil could hit $200 a barrel, a scenario that would boost cash flows for integrated majors despite clear risks to the global economy. Chevron stands out as one of the better-rated U.S. oil majors while benefiting from higher pump prices and potential U.S. policy moves, such as a Jones Act waiver, that ease logistics and keep domestic producers well positioned against overseas rivals.
