About FXG valuation
Adding up its 39 holdings with company data, FXG trades at 16.9 times trailing earnings and 12.6 times analysts' forward estimates, with a price-to-book ratio of 2.29 and a dividend yield of 2.34%. Its earnings yield of 5.90% is 0.57 points above the 5.33% yield to maturity of the U.S. bond market (AGG).
The ten largest holdings are 39.0% of the fund and earn 52.4% of its combined profit. By sector, Healthcare is the most expensive at 28.1 times earnings and Industrials the cheapest at 6.0. Companies that lost money over the past year are 1.9% 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 96.4% of the fund's weight (U.S.-listed stocks with company data); company figures as of October 26, 2026.
