Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF Price & Performance (SCHD)

As U.S. equity markets face heightened volatility and a 10% drop in the S&P 500 this year, Schwab's U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) saw inflows of $3.8 billion in Q1 2025. Investors are favoring dividend-focused funds for stability, pushing SCHD’s assets near $65 billion despite broader ETF inflow slowdowns.12

The SCHD ETF closed at $25.03 on April 21, marking a 1.5% daily decline and a nearly 1% drop over the past 10 days. Technical indicators suggest continued weakness in the coming weeks, with the ETF expected to trade between $21.96 and $25.07 over the next three months.13

Following its annual reconstitution, SCHD refreshed about 19% of its portfolio, adding 20 new stocks and removing 17. The ETF has increased allocations to energy, consumer staples, and materials, while reducing exposure to financials and most other sectors, reflecting a more defensive positioning amid market turbulence.14
