Valuation Check: With a P/E near 19 and dividend yield of just 3%, DGS looks fairly to slightly overvalued — not yet a bargain for value-oriented investors.

DGS: Emerging Market Small Caps Offer Value And A High Yield

Small caps have surged recently, but emerging market small caps lag. DGS offers a high 3.6% yield but has underperformed since Q3. Despite weak recent performance, I maintain a buy rating on DGS due to its attractive valuation, diversification, and bullish seasonal trends.
