The First Trust S&P 500 Economic Moat ETF (the "Fund") seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the Fund's fees and expenses) of an equity index called the S&P 500 Economic Moat Index (the "Index"). Under normal conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in the securities that comprise the Index. The Fund, using an indexing investment approach, attempts to replicate, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Index. The Index is designed to measure the performance of common stock of companies in the S&P 500 Index which are identified as having sustainable competitive advantages, or "an economic moat," as evidenced by their sustained high gross margins, sustained high return on invested capital ("ROIC") and high market share. The S&P 500 Index is a large capitalization U.S. index composed of 500 issuers with securities that trade on national stock exchanges. The Economic Moat score is a composite score based on the average z-scores of each of the three metrics. A "z-score" is a method of standardizing a variable to combine it with other variables that may have a different scale or unit of measurement.
First Trust S&P 500 Economic Moat Index ETF trades on the ARCA stock market under the symbol EMOT.
As of September 3, 2026, EMOT stock price was flat at $26.74 with 10 million shares trading.
EMOT has a market cap of $2.67 million. This is considered a Sub-Micro Cap stock.
EMOT has underperformed the market in the last year with a price return of +16.4% while the SPY ETF gained +21.9%. However, in the short term, EMOT had mixed performance relative to the market. It has outperformed in the last 3 months, returning +2.9% vs +2.0% return in SPY. But in the last 2 weeks, EMOT shares have been beat by the market, returning -1.3% compared to an SPY return of +0.5%.
EMOT support price is $26.59 and resistance is $26.89 (based on 1 day standard deviation move). This means that using the most recent 20 day stock volatility and applying a one standard deviation move around the stock's closing price, stastically there is a 67% probability that EMOT shares will trade within this expected range on the day.
