Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF Sees Strong Inflows, Modest Gains

Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF ( $SCHD ) has risen by 0.76% in the past week. It has experienced a 5-day net inflow of $375.21 million.
This is due, in part, to market sentiment on some of the ETF’s largest holdings. For example:

• Lockheed Martin is testing artificial intelligence on its F-35 fighter jet to help pilots spot and classify threats faster and more accurately, using an upgraded Combat Identification system that works with existing sensors. The AI can be retrained and reloaded within a single mission planning cycle, giving the jet a rapid learning edge that could boost its appeal as defense budgets shift toward next‑generation, data‑driven systems.
• Chevron – No recent, article-based updates were provided for this period, so investors currently lack new fundamental or strategic developments to reassess the stock’s outlook from this specific news batch. Market participants may need to rely on broader sector trends in energy prices and prior company guidance until fresh disclosures emerge.
• Verizon Communications – The latest release set did not contain new information on Verizon’s operations, earnings, or network strategy, leaving the near‑term narrative unchanged for shareholders. For now, investors must look to earlier filings and industry data on wireless competition and 5G spending to gauge potential drivers for the stock.
