November's Advance Retail Sales Report from the Census Bureau showed a pickup in consumer spending. Headline sales were up 0.6%, up from -0.1% pullback in October and above the projected 0.5% growth.

RTH hits a new 52-week high, rising 28.2% from its low, as strong gains in top retail holdings fuel fresh momentum.

Santa Rally may just be starting. A Goldilocks U.S. economy could favor ETFs like MDYV, XLK, KBE and RTH into year-end and early 2026.

Retail-focused ETFs could benefit as a record 158.9 million shoppers hit stores and online on Super Saturday, boosting late-season sales momentum.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VanEck announced today the 2025 annual distributions per share for its VanEck equity exchange-traded funds.

October's Advance Retail Sales Report from the Census Bureau revealed a slowdown in consumer spending. Headline sales were flat, missing the projected 0.1% monthly growth.

Looking for broad exposure to the Consumer Discretionary - Retail segment of the equity market? You should consider the VanEck Retail ETF (RTH), a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on December 20, 2011.

VanEck Retail ETF offers concentrated exposure to leading U.S. retailers, blending traditional and e-commerce leaders like AMZN, WMT, and COST. RTH has outperformed peer retail ETFs over 5- and 10-year periods but currently trades at a premium P/E of 29.24x and faces elevated valuations. Consumer strength, robust holiday sales, and stable credit trends support the fund, but risks include tariff impacts, labor market weakness, and potential inflation.

Record holiday spending masks consumer strain, but strong retail earnings lift interest in ETFs XRT, RTH, IBUY and ONLN.

The Census Bureau's Advance Retail Sales Report for September showed consumer spending was lower than expected, with headline sales rising 0.2% versus the expected 0.4% monthly growth. This is down from August's 0.6% growth and marks the fourth consecutive monthly increase in headline sales.
