VDY holds only Canadian high payers, 57% of them being banks and 25% energy. The banks have been ripping in 2025 with CIBC, for instance, reaching new highs. If your bank outlook is positive for 2026 and you don't see an uptick in mortgage defaults, then VDY looks good. The Canadian prime rate is currently 4.4%, based on the Bank of Canada's overnight of 2.25%, far lower than in the U.S. and is probably staving off a recession in this country (for now).
