iShares U.S. Industrials ETF (Cboe BZX:IYJ) seeks to track US industrial equities including construction, manufacturing and transportation businesses. Its NAV stood at USD 161.28 as of 2 November 2026. Net Assets totalled USD 1,854,696,004 as of 2 November 2026.

Industrial Businesses Across Several Activities

IYJ tracks the Russell 1000 Industrials 40 Act 15/22.5 Daily Capped Index. The benchmark selects industrial-sector businesses from a large- and mid-cap US Equity universe. Issuer-weight constraints form part of its methodology. The fund’s index mandate links a range of industrial activities while retaining exposure to the conditions affecting each underlying company.

The fund uses representative sampling, selecting investments intended to resemble the benchmark’s overall characteristics. It may therefore hold a different collection of securities from the index while seeking a similar Investment profile.

Portfolio Composition and Exposure

IYJ reported 214 holdings as of 30 October 2026. Its allocation by Market Value included Capital Goods at 55.49%, Financial Services at 21.51% and Transportation at 8.33% as of 30 October 2026.

The fact sheet dated 30 September 2026 identified holdings including Visa Class A at 7.70%, Mastercard Class A at 5.63% and Caterpillar Inc. at 4.66%. These position weights refer to that reporting date and can change as the portfolio and market values evolve.

The same fact sheet reported a P/E ratio of 29.59x and a P/B ratio of 5.66x. These valuation measures complement the holdings information with Earnings and book-value characteristics associated with the equity portfolio.

Fees and Distribution Policy

The published expense ratio is 0.37%. Distributions are scheduled quarterly.

The 30-day SEC Yield was 0.77% as of 30 September 2026. This standardised income measure reflects the fund’s recent income after expenses; it is separate from changes in the market value of its shares.

The prospectus notes that brokerage commissions and other intermediary charges may apply separately. Fund shares trade at market prices, which can differ from NAV, so the stated NAV does not establish the price of every exchange transaction.

Key Insights

Industrial companies can be affected by economic cycles, customer demand, input costs and government regulation. Those common influences sit alongside the operating and financial circumstances of the individual holdings.
