Summary

SCHD’s index both rebalances and reconstitutes its holdings the second Friday in March. SCHD has been adjusting to the recent reconstitution.
It added 14 stocks. We look at EOG resources which was the largest new holding and at the sectors represented by the rest of the much smaller stocks added.
13 stocks have been deleted. Several were spinoffs. The most significant deletion was Emerson Electric, which still looks like a fine investment but with a dropping yield.
