About IYG valuation
Adding up its 97 holdings with company data, IYG trades at 16.6 times trailing earnings and 14.9 times analysts' forward estimates, with a price-to-book ratio of 2.36 and a dividend yield of 1.55%. Its earnings yield of 6.04% is 0.71 points above the 5.33% yield to maturity of the U.S. bond market (AGG).
The ten largest holdings are 64.2% of the fund and earn 66.5% of its combined profit. Companies that lost money over the past year are 1.1% 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 100.0% of the fund's weight (U.S.-listed stocks with company data); company figures as of October 26, 2026.
