DHS: Dividend Income Strategy Providing More Value Than Benchmark Index

The WisdomTree U.S. High Dividend Fund ETF (DHS) earns a Buy rating as a core equity income holding for long-term investors. DHS offers a 3.18% trailing yield, focuses on large-cap, high-dividend U.S. stocks, and is underweight technology versus broad market indices. The ETF's dividend-yield-based weighting provides sector diversification and lower volatility, with a 17.14x P/E and 0.88 beta to the S&P 500 Value Index.

DHS Underperforms In 2025 - But Conditions May Be Turning In Its Favor

WisdomTree U.S. High Dividend Fund ETF (DHS) is rated a Buy for income-focused investors despite recent underperformance versus VYM and SCHD. DHS's yield-centric methodology leads to low tech exposure and overweight in defensives, utilities, and REITs, explaining its lag in growth-driven markets. The ETF's robust defensive positioning and high yield (>4%) make it attractive in slowing economic growth or falling rate environments.

DHS Is A Solid ETF, But Peers Offer Higher Returns With Modest Risk Factor

I maintain a buy rating on DHS for low-risk investors seeking steady returns and reliable monthly dividends from established, low-beta companies. WisdomTree U.S. High Dividend Fund ETF offers attractive yield, solid dividend growth, and downside protection, but its returns lag the S&P 500 in growth-driven markets. FDVV and CGDV ETFs provide higher total returns by blending high dividend growth with exposure to growth sectors like technology and industrials.

U.S. Large-Cap Value Turns Expensive, Soft Relative Strength With DHS

U.S. large-cap value stocks are trading at a premium, making it harder to find attractive value opportunities in this segment. DHS has outperformed the S&P 500 since my Q1 2024 buy rating, but its valuation has risen and seasonality is turning less favorable. The ETF offers a high dividend yield and some size diversification, but its risk profile is only average and recent volatility is elevated.
