PKB: In Fine Form, But Not The Best Price Point To Dive In

PKB which leverages proprietary screeners to pick 30 building and construction stocks from the US is currently outperforming the key US indices by 10% on a YTD basis. The Intellidex methodology gauges price, earnings, quality, management actions, and value before arriving at a consummate score that is used to build the portfolio.

Powell Pivot Sparks REIT Rebound

U.S. equity markets notched another series of record highs this week, surging into the weekend after surprisingly dovish commentary from Federal Reserve Chair Powell, who hinted at imminent rate cuts. Powell used his final Jackson Hole speech as Fed Chair to deliver a clear policy pivot, an unexpected reversal after months of insistence that tariff-related inflation warranted a hawkish framework. Markets were equally relieved by the policy-focused nature of Powell's speech amid speculation that the address may be used instead as a potential defiant sermon on central bank independence.

Behind The (Revised) Curve

U.S. equity markets fell sharply this week, while benchmark interest rates retreated to three-month lows, after revised employment data showed that job growth was far weaker than initially reported. The BLS payrolls report showed softer-than-expected hiring in July and the steepest two-month downward revisions to jobs growth since 2020, raising concern that the Fed may be "behind the curve." The downward revisions came days after Fed Chair Powell used it as the primary evidence for "solid" labor markets, which justified the FOMC's decision to keep rates in "restrictive" territory.

PKB: Quant Stock Selection Method Weakens This Construction ETF

PKB aims to offer exposure to firms operating in the construction sector, and has a reasonable track record, though not as strong as the S&P 500. My main concern with PKB is its quant-based equity selection, which results in a high level of concentration, some strange holdings and some absent mega-cap household names. PKB's investment case seems to be also weakened by negligible income, high fees and a high earnings multiple.
