Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF Sees Mixed Performance

Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF ( $SCHD ) has risen by 1.76% in the past week. It has experienced a 5-day net outflow of $89.82 million.
This is due, in part, to market sentiment on some of the ETF’s largest holdings. For example:

• Cisco has been making waves in the financial markets as it approaches its historical highs, trading at around $77.50 per share. The company has successfully transformed from an old-school hardware vendor to a key player in AI infrastructure, which has significantly boosted investor confidence. Cisco’s recent Fiscal 2026 Q1 results showcased strong earnings, with EPS of $1.00 and revenue of $14.8 billion, both surpassing expectations. The company’s strategic shift towards AI-driven networking has led to a surge in orders and a promising outlook, with analysts raising their price targets, some as high as $95. Cisco’s consistent performance and AI-related growth have positioned it as a defensive tech stock with substantial upside potential.
