Schwab Dividend ETF Hits Record High Without Any Magnificent Seven Stocks
Yahoo Finance ·
The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) climbed to a historic peak on Thursday, October 22, settling at $35.40. This milestone surpasses the previous high of $35.21 set on August 24, pushing the popular fund up approximately 29% from its 2025 closing level. On the very same session, the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) dropped roughly 3%. While the Nasdaq-100 tracker has retreated about 7% since October 6, the dividend-focused vehicle has advanced nearly 8%. Most notably, this performance was achieved without holding a single share of the Magnificent Seven—Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta Platforms, and Tesla—among its 102 constituents as of October 13. When factoring in distributions, the fund has also outperformed all seven of those technology giants throughout 2026, highlighting a compelling shift in market leadership.

Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) closed at an all-time high of $35.40 on October 22. On the same day, the Nasdaq-100 tracking QQQ fell about 3%, showing a contrasting correction trend. This rally was achieved without the Magnificent Seven (M7) stocks, proving the strength of high-dividend portfolios. Investors are turning their attention to dividend stocks that provide steady cash flows in a tech-driven volatile market.
상승 영향
- High-Dividend Stocks — Funds flowed into high-dividend ETFs like SCHD, which provide stable cash flows and dividends amid tech stock weakness, hitting an all-time high.
하락 영향
- Technology — The Nasdaq-100 (QQQ), including the Magnificent Seven, fell about 7% since October 6, facing capital outflow pressure.
DYAX 전담 분석
SCHD's record high directly indicates that the mega-cap tech-led rally is stalling, and market funds are shifting toward value and high-dividend stocks that generate stable earnings and dividends. Achieving high performance without holding any M7 stocks acted as a benefit amid interest rate volatility and tech stock overvaluation controversies.
If tech stocks undergo further corrections going forward, capital inflows into dividend stocks could accelerate even more; conversely, when tech stocks rebound, relative underperformance may be experienced. Therefore, the Fed's rate path and Treasury yield volatility should be used as key monitoring indicators.
