Description: IYM U.S. Basic Materials December 26, 2025
The iShares U.S. Basic Materials ETF (NYSE ARCA:IYM) tracks an index that captures the performance of U.S. companies classified in the basic materials sector, allocating at least 80 % of its assets to the index’s constituent securities. Because it concentrates on a single sector, the fund is classified as non-diversified.
Key quantitative points (as of Q3 2024): the fund’s expense ratio is 0.42 %, its top five holdings-primarily integrated miners such as Freeport McMoRan, Newmont Corporation, and Eldorado Gold-represent roughly 30 % of assets, and the sector’s price-to-earnings average sits near 12×, well below the broader S&P 500’s 20× multiple. The basic materials sector is highly sensitive to global commodity price cycles; recent rebounds in copper and aluminum prices driven by infrastructure spending and electric-vehicle battery demand have lifted earnings forecasts for many constituents.
