SCHB: The Mega-Cap Premium Is Losing Its Edge

The Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF's (SCHB) concentration risk is increasingly difficult to justify, with 33.7% of assets in its top 10 holdings and 36% allocated to technology. The mega-cap earnings advantage is narrowing, with large and mid caps expected to deliver increasingly similar earnings growth into 2027.
