Small-cap and value stocks are expected to perform well in the next market cycle, making the iShares US Small Cap Value Factor ETF attractive. SVAL focuses on 250 small-cap U.S. stocks with strong value metrics, offering a diversified yet heavily financials-weighted portfolio. The ETF's price-to-earnings ratio is 11.14, and price-to-book is 1.21, indicating a value-oriented investment.
SVAL is a small-cap value factor ETF that selects 250 securities based on their price-earnings, price-cash flow, and price-book value. The Index also screens for volatility, leverage, and sentiment. SVAL is heavily concentrated in Regional Banks (33%), and due to the March crisis, is the worst-performing small-cap value ETF this year. There might be a deep-value opportunity here. However, my analysis highlights SVAL's weak fundamentals and surprisingly poor earnings sentiment, as measured by Seeking Alpha's EPS Revision Grades.
SVAL is an index-based ETF providing exposure to a fairly cheap U.S. portfolio with an EY of about 10.5% and Price/Sales of 1.6x. Its inexpensiveness is the direct consequence of its outsized exposure to financials and almost absent growth premium. Its quality is rather adequate because of the picky strategy, and the risk of value traps significantly impacting SVAL's long-term returns is comparatively low in my view.
