VHT Looks Attractive, And Risks May Be Overestimated
Healthcare stock valuations are struggling to rise due to political risk and scandals, but this could create attractive entry points for long-term investors. And the reason lies in the bearish narrative surrounding two of the sector's leaders: UNH and LLY. Among healthcare ETFs, VHT stands out in my view as the most representative of the sector, in terms of performance, risk, and costs.

VHT: Strong Growth Outlook, But Still Overpriced
Vanguard Health Care ETF (VHT) is rated a hold due to high valuations and low profitability of top holdings despite strong healthcare sector growth potential. VHT's top holdings, Eli Lilly, UnitedHealth, and AbbVie, face valuation and profitability concerns, impacting the fund's overall performance and attractiveness. Competitor funds like XLV offer lower fees and better performance, making them more appealing compared to VHT's higher expense ratio and recent negative returns.
