VO: Vanguard Morningstar Mid-Cap ETF

Generated from StockValueFinder data · Updated Oct 12, 2026 10:52 AM
Educational content only. This is not financial advice and is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any ETF.

Share-split context: A forward split was recorded on Apr 21, 2026 with coefficient 4. A forward split turns each old share into multiple new shares and lowers the quoted price per share proportionally. Proportional ownership is unchanged at the split moment, so the split itself creates neither a gain nor a loss. The price-return figures in this report are already split-adjusted.

What this ETF is trying to do

The Vanguard Morningstar Mid-Cap ETF (VO) is designed to track mid-cap companies. These are generally medium-sized businesses. This ETF provides exposure to a variety of companies across different industries.

What the numbers show

The current price of VO is $80.14. When looking at how the fund has performed, it is important to look at two different types of returns: price return (the change in the share price) and total return (which includes both the share price change and the money paid out in distributions).

Here is what the data shows:

• Year-to-Date (YTD): The price return is approximately 10.45%, while the total return is approximately 11.64%.

• One-Year: The price return is approximately 9.15%, while the total return is approximately 10.75%.

• Three-Year: The price return is approximately 55.30%, while the total return is approximately 62.75%.

• Five-Year: The five-year total return is approximately 42.98%.

This ETF has a history of forward splits. In a forward split, each old share becomes multiple new shares. This means the price per share falls proportionally, but your total ownership stays the same. A split itself does not create a gain or a loss for the investor.

Income and distribution explanation

VO provides cash distributions to investors. The trailing distributions are $2.77. This results in a distribution yield of approximately 3.46%. The fund usually pays these out on a quarterly basis, with 4 payments recorded over the last 12 months.

It is important to remember that a distribution yield tells you how much cash was paid out relative to the price, but it is not the same as your total return.

NAV erosion explanation

"NAV erosion" refers to a decline in the Net Asset Value (the actual value of the assets held by the fund). The supplied data is sufficient to evaluate price erosion, but it does not include enough historical NAV-per-share data to confirm or rule out NAV erosion.

However, regarding price-based evidence, the fund has an erosion score of 100, which is labeled as "No price erosion detected." The erosion severity is rated as "good," and there is no severe erosion-risk flag.

Pros

• The fund has shown positive price returns and total returns over the one-year, three-year, and five-year periods.

• The erosion-risk measurements suggest no significant price erosion has been detected.

Cons

• As with any ETF, performance is subject to market changes.

• Investors should distinguish between the cash received from distributions and the actual growth of their share price.

Beginner takeaway

VO is a mid-cap ETF that has provided both share-price growth and cash distributions. When researching, remember that total return is the most complete way to see how much value the fund has created, as it combines both price changes and the dividends paid out to you.
