MGC: Less Attractive As Earnings Broaden

The Vanguard Morningstar Mega Cap ETF (MGC) is heavily concentrated in the largest U.S. companies, with technology comprising 42.7% of assets. MGC's recent outperformance was driven by mega-cap rebounds, but its earnings growth advantage is narrowing as mid- and small-caps contribute more. Large-cap valuations command a 27% premium over mid-caps, despite only a 1 percentage point difference in expected 2027 earnings growth.
