PEJ: Worth Avoiding As Pressures From Higher Rates Mount

I maintain the Hold rating on the Invesco Leisure and Entertainment ETF. In August, the PEJ portfolio was reconstituted, with 11 names replaced.

PEJ has a slightly larger exposure to stocks with at least a B- Quant EPS Revisions grade than that of XLY, yet its quality is significantly weaker.
