Understand what an ETF holds, costs and does
Enter a ticker. My Analysis AI identifies the fund type (equity, bond, commodity, sector, international, dividend, growth, value, thematic, leveraged or inverse), then shows its holdings, what those holdings cost, its returns and risk, its costs and liquidity, and how it compares with funds that give the same exposure. Quick mode gives a one-line comparison with the criteria behind it; Advanced mode shows every table.
Analyze an ETF
Enter several tickers separated by commas to compare them, for example SPY, VOO, QQQ.

Stocks and ETFs are analysed differently
| Stocks | ETFs | |
|---|---|---|
| What you own | A share of one company | A share of a portfolio of securities (or a commodity, or futures) |
| Valuation | Intrinsic value from cash flows and earnings: DCF, dividend discount, residual income, NAV, comparable companies and precedent transactions, chosen by industry | No intrinsic value: the fund is worth what it holds. Instead, what the holdings cost (weighted P/E, P/B, EV/EBITDA, dividend yield) against peer funds |
| Quick-mode answer | Valuation assessment and investment outlook from the full model | Attractive Relative to Peers, Reasonably Positioned, Expensive Relative to Peers, Higher Risk or Insufficient Data, with each criterion shown |
| Fundamentals | Financial statements from SEC filings, growth, margins, returns on capital, balance-sheet strength | Holdings, sector, country and size exposure, concentration; duration for bond funds, roll yield for futures funds, daily-reset effects for leveraged funds |
| Cost | Not applicable | Expense ratio, fees over time, turnover, tracking difference, trading liquidity |
| Performance and risk | Price history, technical indicators, beta | Price and total returns from 1 month to since inception, excess return, volatility, drawdown, Sharpe, Sortino, beta, tracking error |
| Compared with | Comparable companies in the same industry | Funds that give the same exposure (same index, asset class, maturity or sector) |
A fund has no earnings or cash flows of its own, so no intrinsic value or fair value is calculated for it. See the methodology and data sources.
