IDEV: International Stocks Set For Further Outperformance

The iShares Core MSCI International Developed Markets ETF invests in developed markets outside the United States, mainly Japan, the UK, and Canada. IDEV has outperformed the SPY so far in 2025, benefitting from lower valuations and a weak U.S. dollar. I estimate that countries in which IDEV invests will deliver GDP growth of 1.05% in 2025, only marginally below the U.S. at 1.4%.

IDEV has not fully recovered from its low in October 2022, while the S&P 500 has surpassed its previous peak. IDEV's low exposure to the technology sector and its inferior returns make it less attractive compared to the S&P 500.
