SMIN: Upgrading To Buy, India Small Caps' Valuation Is Now Favorable
I am upgrading the iShares MSCI India Small-Cap ETF (SMIN) to a buy due to improved valuation, despite technical caution. SMIN has underperformed, down 11% since November 2024, but offers a cheap P/E ratio of 16x and a PEG ratio under 1. The ETF's sector diversification includes 22% Industrials and 16% Financials, with a promising long-term EPS growth rate of 23%.

Indian Banks To Sustain Higher Leverage Ratios On Growing Capital
Major Indian banks are expected to sustain high leverage ratios, as healthy profits and a rapidly growing economy will help them build buffers. India's economic growth, which slowed to 5.4% year over year in the July–September quarter from 8.1% in the same period in 2023, is expected to recover as most economists expect the government and companies to step up spending in the coming months.

SMIN: High Growth-High Price, Spotting A Better Entry (Rating Downgrade)
I am downgrading SMIN to a hold due to a higher P/E ratio and weakening technical trends despite strong long-term growth prospects. SMIN's portfolio is heavily weighted towards cyclical sectors, which could be vulnerable if emerging-market growth falters. The ETF's seasonality trends are weak from December to February, and technical indicators show bearish divergence and weakening momentum.

SMIN: Small-Cap India Outperforms Large
Investing in India's small-cap market offers strong growth potential, with the iShares MSCI India Small-Cap ETF providing diversified exposure to 499 companies. The SMIN ETF's sector composition, with heavy Industrials and Financials exposure, aligns well with India's long-term infrastructure and economic growth prospects. Despite a higher expense ratio of 0.79%, SMIN's past performance and diversification make it a compelling option for investors seeking underappreciated equity exposure.

Country Small-Cap ETFs
India small-caps only recently took the lead on the US, with a big jump higher over the last 18 months or so. Small-caps in other countries have been poor options for US investors relative to owning something like the S&P 500 ETF.
