About DFAS valuation

Adding up its 1,846 holdings with company data, DFAS trades at 30.1 times trailing earnings and 13.3 times analysts' forward estimates, with a price-to-book ratio of 2.20 and a dividend yield of 1.26%. Its earnings yield of 3.33% is 2.00 percentage points below the 5.33% yield to maturity of the U.S. bond market (AGG).

The ten largest holdings are 2.7% of the fund and earn 3.0% of its combined profit. By sector, Real Estate is the most expensive at 106.8 times earnings and Financial Services the cheapest at 14.5. Companies that lost money over the past year are 15.1% of the covered weight.

How these figures are calculated. Each ratio treats the fund as one company: the earnings, sales and book value of every holding are added up in proportion to its weight and divided into the fund's price. In practice that is a weighted harmonic mean, so a single stock with a very high P/E cannot distort the result, and loss-making companies reduce the fund's earnings instead of being dropped. Covers 96.2% of the fund's weight (U.S.-listed stocks with company data); company figures as of October 26, 2026.
