iShares Core Dividend Growth ETF (DGRO) remains a solid core holding with its strong diversification, low expense ratio, and a wide spread of 399 holdings capped at 3% per stock. However, the recent slowdown in dividend growth to 6.17% year-over-year has tempered enthusiasm, leading some analysts to rate it a hold rather than a buy.
