Vanguard Mid-Cap ETF

Chip stocks have contributed to the Vanguard Information Technology ETF's long-term outperformance. Three of the ETFs offer an inexpensive way to get exposure to a diversified basket of leading growth stocks.

The five popular ETFs are splitting 4-for-1, 5-for-1, 6-for-1, and 8-for-1. Shareholders' positions won't really change much in value.

Excitement for high-profile stock splits has played a role in lifting the broader market to new heights. Five of Vanguard's 113 U.S.-listed ETFs will undergo forward stock splits in less than two weeks.

Vanguard, one of the world's largest registered investment advisers with more than $12 trillion in assets under management globally, announced on March 24 that it will conduct stock splits for some of its biggest exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

VALLEY FORGE, Pa., March 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vanguard today announced plans to execute forward share splits for five equity index ETFs.

For years, the S&P 500 has easily delivered the best combination of earnings growth and investor performance. Later this year, smaller companies are finally expected to deliver better earnings growth rates than large caps.

Vanguard Mid-Cap ETF is downgraded to "Hold" amid rising U.S. recession risk and weaker momentum. VO trades at an appealing long-term growth-adjusted P/E, but cyclical sector exposure increases macro sensitivity. Technical signals suggest possible further downside toward $275–$280, which could present a buying opportunity.

As a group, mid-cap stocks boast a stronger long-term track record of returns than their large-cap counterparts. This ETF is not only better balanced in terms of sector allocation but also offers a distinctly different sector weighting that might complement most large-cap index fund holdings.

The Vanguard Mid-Cap ETF (VO) was launched on January 26, 2004, and is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to offer broad exposure to the Mid Cap Blend segment of the US equity market.

The outperformance of the S&P 500 over the past few years has left many parts of the U.S. equity market ignored. Historically, mid-caps have outperformed large-caps and small-caps over time.
