The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- VIG closes above its 50-day average ($240.37), and the 50-day sits above the 200-day ($232.64): on both averages the chart reads as an uptrend.
- At $248.92, VIG is within 1% of its 1-year high of $250.19, set on October 30, 2026; it is 18.5% above its 1-year low of $210.01 (March 30, 2026).
- Over the past month VIG rose 5.9%, from $235.05 to $248.92.
- VIG trades at 26.0x its last twelve months of earnings; Yahoo Finance has no forward estimate for it.
- VIG's 30-day volatility, 8.0% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 0.5%.
What would change the read
- A close under the 50-day average, $240.37 (−3.4% from the last close), would turn the read to a pullback; under the 200-day, $232.64 (−6.5%), the longer rise is in question.
- A close above $250.19 (+0.5%) would be a new 1-year high; below $210.01 (−15.6%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for VIG, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.

The adviser employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the index, which consists of common stocks of companies that have a record of increasing dividends over time. The adviser attempts to replicate the target index by investing all, or substantially all, of its assets in the stocks that make up the index, holding each stock in approximately the same proportion as its weighting in the index.
