According to Danelfin’s proprietary AI model, Dimensional International Core Equity 2 ETF today receives an AI Score of 10/10, which translates to a Strong Buy rating. The ETF has a 67% probability of outperforming the ETF universe in the next 3 months, which is 4% higher than the average probability of any US-listed ETF (63%). Key positive contributors include the Chart Pattern (180d) (impact +0.68%), the ETF Investment Segment (Total Market, impact +0.57%), and Flows to AUM YTD (top 50%, impact +0.53%). On the negative side, Alpha YTD (top 50%, impact -0.20%) and Sentiment Impact (Long Tail) (bottom 10%, impact -0.18%) are the main detractors. Notable data points include the Dominant Cycle Period (Hilbert) in the bottom 10% (value 13.55), which positively influences the probability despite its low ranking, and the Price/Book (MRQ) in the bottom 40% (value 1.87), also a positive contributor. The Buy Success Rate (Past 12 Months) is 91.1%, but it detracts slightly (impact -0.16%).
