Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF Stock Performance
Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) trades at $377.99, reflecting broad U.S. equity market trends across large-, mid-, and small-cap stocks. Per SID market data, VTI has gained 14.55% over the trailing twelve months, while posting a modest 1.7% return over the past three months and a near-flat 0.29% gain over the last month. The fund's 50-day moving average stands at $376.56, placing the current price slightly above this short-term trend line, while the 200-day moving average of $355.40 confirms a sustained longer-term uptrend. The 14-day RSI registers at 56.0, according to Massive/Polygon data, indicating neither overbought nor oversold conditions. Average daily trading volume of approximately 4.04 million shares underscores VTI's deep liquidity. The ETF carries a beta of 1.04, closely tracking the broader market with minimal incremental volatility relative to its benchmark.
Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF Valuation Analysis
As a passively managed exchange-traded fund tracking the CRSP US Total Market Index, VTI's valuation reflects the aggregate metrics of the broader U.S. equity market rather than a single company's fundamentals. Per SID market data, VTI currently offers a dividend yield of 1.1%, providing a modest income component alongside capital appreciation. The fund's total net assets contribute to a market capitalization figure of approximately $278.12 billion, according to SEC filings, making it one of the largest ETFs globally by assets under management. Classified within the Financial Services sector as an investment vehicle, VTI provides exposure to over 3,500 U.S. stocks across all market capitalizations. The fund's broad diversification means its valuation profile inherently mirrors market-wide price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios, offering investors a comprehensive gauge of overall U.S. equity market valuation levels at any given point.
Smart Money Activity for VTI
Smart money indicators for VTI present a mixed picture, with the composite smart money score registering at 58 out of 100 and carrying a neutral signal, per SID market data. The institutional ownership component scores a perfect 25 out of 25, reflecting heavy allocation by pension funds, endowments, and registered investment advisors who utilize VTI as a core U.S. equity holding. The insider activity metric scores 12.5 out of 25, which for an ETF structure reflects activity among Vanguard-affiliated personnel rather than traditional corporate insider transactions. According to SEC Form 4 filings and 13F institutional filings, the congressional trading component registers at 12 out of 25, suggesting moderate engagement by congressional members. Dark pool activity scores 8.8 out of 25, indicating relatively lower off-exchange institutional block trading compared to peers. The dominant institutional score confirms VTI's role as a primary vehicle for large-scale portfolio construction among professional asset allocators.
Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF Earnings Outlook
As a passively managed ETF, VTI does not report traditional corporate earnings, and no recent earnings data is available per company earnings reports. Instead, the fund's performance is driven by the aggregate earnings trajectory of its underlying holdings spanning the entire U.S. equity market. VTI's 14.55% one-year return, according to SID market data, reflects the collective earnings growth and multiple expansion across its portfolio constituents. The fund distributes income quarterly, with the current dividend yield standing at 1.1%, sourced from dividends paid by underlying holdings. Investors tracking VTI's fundamental health typically monitor weighted average earnings growth rates across its component stocks rather than fund-level profitability metrics. The near-term outlook for VTI's distributions depends on aggregate corporate earnings trends across its more than 3,500 holdings, encompassing all sectors of the U.S. economy from technology to utilities.
Wall Street Analyst Ratings for VTI
Traditional Wall Street analyst coverage for VTI differs fundamentally from individual stock research, as ETFs are not typically assigned buy, sell, or hold ratings by equity research desks. No consensus analyst price target data is currently available for VTI, per SID consensus data. Instead, market strategists and ETF research teams evaluate the fund based on its tracking efficiency, expense ratio, and liquidity characteristics. According to Wall Street analyst reports, the broader U.S. equity market outlook — which directly influences VTI's trajectory — remains a central focus of macro strategy research. VTI's 14.55% trailing twelve-month return and beta of 1.04, per SID market data, position it as a near-perfect proxy for total U.S. market exposure. The fund's average daily volume of approximately 4.04 million shares ensures minimal bid-ask spreads, a factor consistently highlighted by ETF analysts as critical for both retail and institutional investors seeking efficient market access.
