By the Numbers: ETFs 50 Most-Popular Equity ETFs Morningstar’s analysis of exchange-traded funds now harnesses the rigorous, bottom-up research that our 100-plus equity analysts conduct in order to estimate the fair value of stock ETFs. By comparing our fair value estimate for an ETF’s portfolio with the fund’s market price, we can better gauge whether an ETF is cheap, dear, or reasonably priced. In so doing, we can help you profit from inviting opportunities as they arise. The table lists the 50 most-popular equity ETFs, ranked by assets under management. A Morningstar Valuation Rating of Undervalued means the ETF is trading at a significant discount to our estimate of its intrinsic worth. A rating of Overvalued means the ETF is trading at a significant premium to our fair value estimate. We rate Fairly Valued any ETF that trades in between. The fair value estimate is the aggregate, asset-weighted fair value of the stocks in an ETF portfolio that are under coverage by Morningstar equity analysts, divided by the ETF’s shares outstanding. Depending on the coverage rate, the fair value estimate may not include all of the stocks in the portfolio. As such, when calculating our estimate, we assume that all stocks not under coverage are trading at fair value. Morningstar’s exchange-traded securities team analyzes the fundamental attractiveness of hundreds of ETFs. Our extensive ETF research is available in Morningstar Principia and Morningstar Office.
