XHB ETF

The housing market is expected to improve in 2025, driven by increased home supply, potential mortgage rate declines, and economic stabilization. SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF is recommended with a buy rating due to its diversified portfolio, low expense ratio, and strong earnings growth potential. XHB's top holdings, including Williams-Sonoma and Lennox International, have shown exceptional performance and are poised for continued growth.

Homebuilder stocks, particularly the SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF, have performed well despite rising material costs, supported by strong US consumer spending and favorable valuations. XHB has outperformed the S&P 500 by 13 percentage points since my last buy rating, with shares up 58%, and I see more upside potential. The ETF offers diversified exposure to homebuilding and related industries, with a low expense ratio and attractive valuation metrics, including a PEG ratio of 1.56x.

Looking for broad exposure to the Industrials - Engineering and Construction segment of the equity market? You should consider the SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB), a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on 01/31/2006.

The 2024 Presidential Election outcome, with Donald Trump's re-election, led to a significant short-term boost in major stock market indices. Despite the market surge, the SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF declined due to concerns over tariffs and economic policies impacting housing affordability. The XHB ETF offers diversified exposure to the homebuilding sector, including building products and home improvement retailers, which can mitigate sector-specific risks.

The housing sector looks poised for a rebound.

The SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF has experienced a volatile year, but has still outperformed the broader markets. We measure XHB against the more popular peer ITB and find that it is the better product. We close with some thoughts on why XHB won't likely make a rewarding BUY now.

After a sharp sell-off that pushed the SPDR Homebuilders ETF NYSE: XHB toward crucial support near $105 during the early August carry trade unwind panic, the sector has rebounded impressively. Now sitting just 3% away from its 52-week high, XHB is consolidating near a significant breakout zone of around $120.
