  • Emerging markets have outperformed the S&P 500 in 2025, with VWO delivering a 1.5% total return YTD, beating SPY by nearly 10 percentage points. Despite recent declines, VWO remains a buy due to its attractive valuation at 11x forward earnings and strong sector diversification. VWO's technicals are mixed, trading below key moving averages, but its valuation and relative strength offer a compelling investment case.
