Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF Sees Positive Fund Flows

Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF ( $SCHD ) has fallen by 1.06% in the past week. It has experienced a 5-day net inflow of $89.26 million.
This is due, in part, to market sentiment on some of the ETF’s largest holdings. For example:

• Texas Instruments has been experiencing a bearish trend with a notable increase in put options trading, indicating a potential downturn in investor sentiment. Analysts have maintained a Hold rating on the stock, with price targets ranging from $180 to $218. Despite this, UBS has maintained a Buy rating. The company is set to release its earnings on July 22nd, and it has shown a steady financial performance with a recent quarterly revenue of $4.07 billion. The stock has a market cap of $196.8 billion and a P/E ratio of 41.04, with a one-year high of $221.69.
• Pepsico has seen its shares rise following better-than-expected second-quarter earnings, with adjusted earnings per share surpassing estimates. However, the company faces challenges with softer demand, particularly in North America, where sales volumes have declined. Analysts have given the stock a Moderate Buy rating, with a price target suggesting a slight upside. Pepsico is adapting to consumer preferences by offering healthier options and budget-friendly products, and it has reaffirmed its full-year guidance, expecting stable core earnings and modest organic revenue growth.
• Chevron has gained attention after winning a legal dispute against Exxon Mobil over a significant oilfield in Guyana. This victory could enhance Chevron’s long-term production capabilities and market position. Despite the current decline in crude oil prices due to geopolitical tensions, Chevron’s acquisition of Hess is expected to bolster its global production. Analysts have given Chevron a Moderate Buy rating, with a price target indicating a potential upside. The company’s strategic moves in the energy sector are closely watched by investors.
