How StockWorthy analyses ITA

ETFs hold companies rather than generating cash flow themselves, so ITA is assessed on cost, income and the valuation of what it owns: the expense ratio, the current yield against its own 1.02% long-run average, and a holdings-weighted P/E and growth rate built from the underlying positions.
