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. Despite its high dividend yield of 4.0%, SDOG has a mixed performance record, higher volatility, and lower dividend growth compared to peers, warranting a cautious outlook.

SDOG: Avoid This 'Dogs Of The Dow' Strategy
The ALPS Sector Dividend Dogs ETF implements a 'Dogs of the Dow' strategy on a sector-by-sector basis. Despite a strong 35.4% return in the past year, SDOG's long-term performance lags behind peers like RSP, EQL, and SPY. Although SDOG offers an attractive 3.7% distribution yield, I believe investors can get superior distribution yields and total returns elsewhere.

SDOG: Did I Underestimate This 3.76% Yielding Dividend Dogs ETF?
SDOG is an equal-weight-by-sector large-cap ETF with a 3.76% expected dividend yield. Despite my recent cautionary note, SDOG has outpaced SPY by 3.69% over the last three months. Still, other high-dividend ETFs performed well over this period, including SCHD, DHS, SPYD, and to a lesser extent, DIV. My analysis compares SDOG fundamentally with all four of these. It reveals that SPYD's quality features, though improved from May, could still be lacking, leaving shareholders vulnerable in a market downturn. Its primary advantage is a 13.50x forward P/E.
