One of my favorite dividend ETFs, the Schwab Dividend Equity SCHD, caught the market off guard with a big stock split announcement even if it really wonāt affect the shares much. In fact, looking into the split, Iām not buying more but I have found three stock splits I like better that could actually move the stock prices. Iāll show you the details of that SCHD split and reveal the three stocks Iām buying, stick around also for some very important news on Nvidia that could mean production grinds to a halt along with your stock market news and must-see stocks this week.
Schwab Asset Management shook the market recently announcing a share split for 20 of its ETFs including the popular Dividend Equity Fund, ticker SCHD, and why this was so surprising is you usually donāt see share splits for ETFs. Itās more common in stocks and has become extremely popular lately with Nvidiaās split but not as much for funds so I want to dive into that, why they did it, why I still like the SCHD but am not buying anymore shares on the split and the upcoming stock splits I am buying.
Now understand, if you do want to get in on that SCHD #stocksplit there is still time. The record date on all 20 of these Schwab ETF splits is October 9th which means if you own the shares on that day, Wednesday, then when the stocks split, youāll get the additional shares.
You know I love me some SCHD and have highlighted it as one of my favorite #dividend #ETF on the channel. The fund invests in 100 dividend-paying stocks with a history of payments and return and these are all bellwether companies like Home Depot, Chevron and Pfizer and charges one of the lowest expense fees youāll pay in an ETF. So besides that cash flow, you get a solid return with the shares up 9.2% annually over the last five years. Combined with the 3.3% dividend, youāre getting a 12.5% return and itās extremely consistent.
But Iāve already got just over 100 shares of SCHD, soon to be 300 shares after the split and while the total 12% return is nice, that 3.3% dividend doesnāt trip my trigger. In fact, I predicted 10 potential stock splits last June, three of which have already split with LRCX, MicroStrategy and Deckers splitting their shares. I like two recent stock splits better than SCHD along with two other stocks Iām buying on that potential for a split.
