iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX)

AI hyperscaler capex is set to nearly triple to $1.4T by 2027, fueling a multi-year demand wave for semiconductors and infrastructure. Top AI ETFs - SMH, XSD, SOXX, WTAI and SMHX - offer diversified or targeted exposure to leading beneficiaries of the AI infrastructure buildout. All five highlighted ETFs earn Buy Quant ratings, with strong momentum, low expenses, and high liquidity, making them attractive for both short- and long-term investors.

iShares Semiconductor ETF remains a Buy for balanced, diversified exposure to the AI-driven semiconductor sector, avoiding overconcentration risks. AI investment is accelerating, with hyperscalers' capex reaching record highs, but funding is increasingly reliant on debt and vendor financing. SOXX offers exposure to leaders like Nvidia, AMD, and Intel, plus essential suppliers, providing resilience amid sector volatility and geopolitical shifts.

The 10y CAGR of iShares Semiconductor ETF is 21%, a return clearly superior to the S&P 500 Index. Its characteristic and distinctive feature is greater exposure to fabless chip designers (Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom) with. The forward P/E over 10 and 30 years is near the top of the distribution, which makes it relatively expensive, and the CAGR could decline compared to its historical level. But the profit margins of the companies it holds are high, with positive EPS surprises and growing guidance.

The iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) was launched on 07/10/2001, and is a smart beta exchange traded fund designed to offer broad exposure to the Technology ETFs category of the market.

There are plenty of ways to invest in artificial intelligence (AI).

Semiconductor ETFs like XSD, SOXX and SMH hit 52-week highs as AI mega investments, NVIDIA's Intel deal & quantum contracts fuel sector momentum.

If you check out a list of the best-performing stocks over the past decade or so, you probably won't be surprised to find multiple semiconductor stocks on it, such as Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices, and Broadcom.

The JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium ETF (NASDAQ:JEPQ) is a case study in higher yields not always being better for investors.

Can investors get technology-sector exposure with exchange traded funds (ETFs) that track the S&P 500 or SPX?

If you want to invest in artificial intelligence (AI) stocks, but aren't sure what to buy, investing in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) can make the process easy. Finding an ETF that tracks leading chip stocks can be an effective way to invest in tech, without having to try and pick individual winners.

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) make investing simple. With a few clicks of a button, you could quickly gain the opportunity to profit alongside a diversified collection of high-quality businesses.

The S&P 500 has been delivering stellar gains over the past few years.

Market participants seem to be moving away from investing in individual semiconductor names and opt for ETFs like SOXX instead. This, however, has important implications for SOXX's future returns and their correlation with the CAPE ratio. Despite the robust demand for semiconductors, I expect SOXX to underperform the S&P 500 over the next 12 months.

With its rock-bottom management fees and diversification across roughly 500 stocks throughout multiple market sectors, the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA:VOO) is often considered a gold-standard exchange traded fund (ETF).
