IYZ: Concentrated Telco ETF, Hard To See The Upside

IYZ underperforms both its peer XTL and the S&P 500, with disappointing returns and unattractive projected industry growth. The U.S. telecom sector faces slow growth (3-3.7% CAGR), increasing headwinds from big tech, and limited upside from AI and 5G trends. Given industry perspectives, valuation concerns, and better alternatives, I do not recommend IYZ; targeted exposure to select companies is preferable.

IYZ Needs A Spark To Get Going

iShares U.S. Telecommunications ETF holds a concentrated portfolio in the telecom and tech sectors, with 43% of assets in Cisco, Verizon, and Comcast. Despite strong profitability margins, IYZ struggles with poor revenue growth and lagging performance compared to peers, making it a hold for now. The telecom industry's future growth hinges on 5G infrastructure, but current performance issues make IYZ less attractive for immediate investment.

IYZ: Telecom Sector Is Interesting, But Beware Of Concentration Risk

Telecommunications have become the backbone of our society. iShares U.S. Telecommunications ETF has been a relative underperformer against the S&P 500 for years now, but the price ratio looks like it's bottoming. On the downside, the telecom sector is highly regulated and capital-intensive, which can impact the profitability of companies in this space.
