The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) has gained 0.22% over the past week and 9.25% in the past year. Analysts rate it a moderate buy, with a projected upside of 13.81%. Key holdings like Synovus and APA Corp. show high potential, while others like Hershey face downside risks.1

Watsco's stock currently trades at a premium with a price-to-earnings ratio of 38.84, above the industry average. Analysts highlight strong earnings growth potential of 40% in coming years, but its high valuation and stable share price may limit immediate opportunities for new investors.2
