In a world more and more controlled by megacap tech and AI-driven hype, the Xtrackers S&amp;P 500 Diversified Sector Weight ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPXD#NASDAQ">SPXD</a>) is quietly making its move &#8211; a balanced way to gain exposure to the S&amp;P 500 without taking a ride on the Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) rollercoaster.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/07/46731965/metas-ai-firepower-could-ignite-magnificent-seven-etfs">Meta&#8217;s AI Firepower Could Ignite Magnificent Seven ETFs</a>
Investors tend to flock to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">broad-based ETFs</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">,</a> such as the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and the Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>), for market exposure. Yet with Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Nvidia, and Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) sitting at the top, the traditional S&amp;P 500 is starting to resemble the &#8220;S&amp;P 5.&#8221; The increasing concentration risk has led many investors to question whether the diversification within the index is more myth than reality.
Enter SPXD, brought to market by Xtrackers and driven by an innovative indexing approach created by Syntax LLC. Instead of allocating weight evenly or by market capitalization, SPXD uses a hierarchical sector-weighting approach that digs down into business activities and revenue streams. The outcome? Exposure to actual economic activity, not mere buzz terms like &#8220;AI&#8221; and &#8220;cloud.&#8221;
As of July 24, the launch date, the fund&#8217;s largest holdings are Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (3.69%), Jabil Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBL#NYSE">JBL</a>) (1.71%), and Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABT#NYSE">ABT</a>) (1.68%), a far cry from the tech-dominated roster of legacy S&amp;P 500 funds. There is a bit of tilt toward information technology, but industrials, financials, consumer staples and healthcare all receive decent representation.
And to top it off, even with its differentiated strategy, SPXD remains an affordable option. Its cost ratio is a mere 0.09%, tied with SPY&#8217;s. That&#8217;s no small accomplishment for an ETF with a new passive approach, particularly in an era where active management fees have a tendency to creep into portfolios like unwanted dinner guests.
For investors who fear a tech bubble déjà vu or want smoother rides through market volatility, SPXD could be the index ETF with a seatbelt installed.

Wells Fargo Maintains Overweight on Abbott Laboratories, Lowers Price Target to $142

Abbott Laboratories's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABT#NYSE">ABT</a>) short percent of float has fallen 5.83% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 19.43 million shares sold short, which is 1.13% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.72 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Abbott Laboratories has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Abbott Laboratories's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Abbott Laboratories's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.29%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Looking into the current session, Abbott Laboratories Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABT#NYSE">ABT</a>) shares are trading at $121.11, after a 8.07% drop. Over the past month, the stock fell by 8.93%, but over the past year, it actually went up by 18.71%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1752775227_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does Abbott Laboratories P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Abbott Laboratories has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 53.67 of the Health Care Equipment &amp; Supplies industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1752775227_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.
