What the numbers say

CleaRank Financial AI's reading of IYR's holdings, performance and risks.

The fund

IYR is a Real Estate fund from iShares that launched on June 12, 2000. Real Estate makes up 99.6% of the fund, so almost all of its holdings sit in one sector. That concentration means IYR tends to rise and fall with Real Estate as a whole.

Owning IYR carries a yearly cost of 0.37%, which comes to $37.00 on a $10,000 holding. The fund's net assets total $4.2B, and its distribution yield stands at 2.51%. Turnover in the portfolio is 9%.

Key risks

With 99.6% of its holdings in Real Estate, the fund depends heavily on one sector. IYR's average daily move is 0.80%. Until the price regains its moving averages, the trend works against holders.

What the AI sees

IYR is in a downtrend. The price of $97.39 sits 2.80% below its 200-day average of $100.20 and 2.67% below its 50-day average of $100.06. The 50-day average is 0.14% below the 200-day average, a gap that supports the weak trend instead of cutting against it. Across its 52-week range of $92.45 to $108.17, the price stands at 31% of the range and is 9.97% below the high.

The recent pullback is part of a longer record that is more mixed. Over the past month the price fell 1.28%, and over the past three months it fell 8.20%, yet over the past year it rose 1.11%. The 14-day RSI sits at 50.1, which is neutral territory, while the MACD line is negative.

ProTips
  1. The two nearest levels to watch are the 50-day SMA, at $100.06 above the price, and the 20-day EMA, at $96.79 below it.
  2. A 14-day RSI of 50.1 sits in the neutral zone, and the MACD line is negative. Readings above 70 or below 30 would signal stretched momentum.
  3. Fees add up over time. At an expense ratio of 0.37%, IYR costs $37.00 a year for every $10,000 invested.
Market outlook

With the price below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages ($100.06 and $100.20), IYR's trend reads as down. A move back above the 50-day would be the first sign of repair. That average, at $100.06, is the nearest level above the current price.

The 20-day EMA, at $96.79, is the next level below the price that a decline would reach. The 14-day RSI of 50.1 places the fund in neutral territory, between 40 and 60.
