BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IHI today announced the appointment of Amar Shah, MBBS, FRCPsych, LLM, MA, MBA, MBE, as permanent Chief Scientific Officer (CSO).

Looking for broad exposure to the Healthcare - Medical Devices segment of the equity market? You should consider the iShares U.S. Medical Devices ETF (IHI), a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on May 1, 2006.

iShares U.S. Medical Devices ETF is rated a sell due to historical underperformance, high concentration risk, and elevated valuation. IHI's top three holdings—ABT, ISRG, SYK—comprise nearly 43% of the portfolio, amplifying downside risk if growth falters or valuations compress. The ETF's 34x PE and sub-0.5% yield create an unattractive risk-reward profile, especially given its 18–20% volatility and minimal income.

Launched on May 1, 2006, the iShares U.S. Medical Devices ETF (IHI) is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to provide a broad exposure to the Healthcare - Medical Devices segment of the equity market.

I reiterate a Hold rating on the iShares US Medical Devices ETF despite its 20% YTD decline and ongoing technical weakness. IHI's valuation is reasonable but not compelling, with a P/E of 18.8x and a 10.3% long-term EPS growth rate. The ETF is highly concentrated, with its top 10 holdings accounting for 75% of the portfolio and a low dividend yield at 0.45%.

ETFs like XLV stand out as aging U.S. demographics fuel rising demand for healthcare, medical devices and senior-focused care.

Investors are questioning the staying power of medical technology (medtech) stocks, which have fallen from grace since the COVID-19 pandemic. The starting point is to distinguish between medtech and other healthcare industries.

I rate iShares US Medical Devices ETF a buy, as its recent selloff offers an attractive entry into industry-leading medical device innovators. IHI's top holdings—Abbott Laboratories, Intuitive Surgical, and Boston Scientific—drive growth through strong fundamentals, product innovation, and exposure to secular healthcare trends. Despite higher fees (0.38%) and volatility, IHI's concentrated exposure to medical devices positions it for long-term capital appreciation over more diversified healthcare ETFs.
