But are more gains in store for this ETF? Let’s take a quick look at the fund and the near-term outlook on it to get a better idea on where it might be headed:
DIA in Focus
SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF is one of the largest and most-popular ETFs in the large-cap space. It holds 30 blue-chip stocks with key holdings in financials, healthcare, information technology, industrials and consumer discretionary that account for a double-digit exposure each. It charges investors 16 basis points a year in fees (see: all the Large Cap Value ETFs here).
Why the Move?
The large-cap segment of the broad U.S. stock market has been an area to watch as the Dow Jones has been hitting highs. In particular, earnings optimism is instilling confidence in the blue-chip index. Additionally, improving economic indicators, such as strong job numbers, rising consumer spending, resilient domestic growth and robust manufacturing activity helped Dow Jones to move higher.
More Gains Ahead?
Currently, DIA has a Zacks ETF Rank #1 (Strong Buy) with a Medium risk outlook, suggesting that the outperformance could continue in the months ahead. However, many spaces that make up this ETF have a strong Zacks Industry Rank. So, there is definitely some promise for those who want to ride this surging ETF a little further.
