SDOG: High Yields, Low Valuation, But A Mixed Track Record
The ALPS Sector Dividend Dogs ETF (SDOG) targets high dividend-paying U.S. large-cap stocks across sectors, offering income-focused, diversified exposure with a structural tilt toward mature, higher-yielding sectors. SDOG trades at a significant discount to the S&P 500 with a forward P/E of 12.7x but exhibits lower earnings growth and profitability compared to the benchmark.
