In 2026, the Vanguard Total International Stock ETF (NASDAQ: VXUS) has returned 11.5% compared to a 7.9% gain for the iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF (NYSEMKT: IEFA) . That year-to-date outperformance has pushed the Vanguard ETF ahead on a trailing one-, three-, five-, and 10-year basis.

In 2026, the Vanguard Total International Stock ETF (NASDAQ: VXUS) has returned 11.5% compared to a 7.9% gain for the iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF (NYSEMKT: IEFA) . That year-to-date outperformance has pushed the Vanguard ETF ahead on a trailing one-, three-, five-, and 10-year basis. Both international exchange-traded funds (ETFs) invest in a wide variety of foreign stocks, but the biggest difference is the markets they invest in. The iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF holds more than 2,600 stocks, but they're all from developed markets. The Vanguard Total International Stock ETF holds 8,700 stocks, spanning both developed and emerging markets. The choice between them comes down to whether you want emerging markets exposure. I prefer the ETF that owns those markets. Continue reading

J Studios/DigitalVision via Getty Images Lemonade ( LMND ) has had a rough last few months, down from a peak at $96 in late January. It's been grouped into the basket of software stocks that until only recently have started to bounce back a little bit. LMND Price Chart TrendSpider Whether you view LMND as a software play or not is up for discussion, but 2026 so far has clearly been all about the hardware. Long term, ultimately the economic value is going to accrue at those companies using AI to disrupt the most legacy businesses, and that is ultimately central to my core bull case for LMND. Financials IFP is always the main metric to look at each quarter. It's arguably a better reflection of the growth of the business today vs. revenue growth because of LMND's ceding of reinsurance, which artificially increases the revenue numbers above how fast the business is actually growing. IFP grew 32% YoY in Q1 to $1.33B, with new customers increasing by 37% as well. Profitability remains excellent with gross profit up 159% YoY and Adj. EBITDA loss up 64% YoY to negative $5M. I don't want to dive into the numbers too much here because I want to use that for the valuation section below, but simply put, IFP growth of 32% YoY combined with the profitability and cost control of LMND combined with them only being a smaller $4.5B company puts them in a league of their own in that regard. Here's what I mean by that: I ran a screener with the following criteria: Sub $5B market cap Revenue growth above $30% Gross margins above 35% EBITDA margins above (5%) Taking out pharmaceuticals and other high-risk niches, the results were as follows: Solaris Energy Infrastructure ( SEI) Innodata ( INOD ) Lemonade ( LMND ) DLocal ( DLO ) Shoals Technologies Group ( SHLS ) This is a testament to LMND's cost discipline and their growth profile. Key Bull Case One of the key factors I look at for LMND's future is its cross-selling capability. Q1 offered some of the clearest evidence that this is reall...
