"A well-established and popular exchange traded fund (ETF), the SPDR S&P 500 ETF ( NYSEARCA:SPY) tracks the s&p 500 large-cap stock index. Holding the SPY ETF is a simple way to get portfolio exposure to approximately 500 stocks covering a wide range of market sectors. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF pays a dividend of around 1% and could provide passive income that way."
"As you may recall, the S&P 500 bounced almost exactly off of 5,000 in April while stock traders fretted about tariffs between the U.S. and other nations. Concurrently with this, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF sank to the low $480s before recovering. In spite of the reciprocal tariffs, the S&P 500 and the SPY ETF rebounded sharply and are up 15% year-to-date. How is this possible, though?"
SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) tracks the S&P 500 large-cap index and provides exposure to about 500 stocks across multiple sectors. SPY yields roughly 1% in dividends and is primarily purchased for share-price appreciation. Reaching $800 by 2026 would require about a 21.5% uplift in the ETF's price. Tariff disputes pushed the S&P 500 down to around 5,000 and dragged SPY into the low $480s before a sharp rebound that left the index up roughly 15% year-to-date. Market participants are pricing in a resolution of tariff conflicts, and SPY's path may depend heavily on central bank policy.
