SMH: US-Listed Semiconductor ETF Poised To Continue Rapid Ascent
VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) offers concentrated exposure to the US semiconductor sector, directly targeting the onshoring and AI-driven growth thesis. SMH stands out for its high liquidity, US focus (81% holdings), and exclusive large-cap composition, supporting investor confidence amid sector volatility. Despite a 50% YTD share price surge and a 29x PE, SMH remains attractive given robust growth prospects and strong industry tailwinds.
2 Aggressive Growth ETFs That Can Beat the Market
It's been a good year for growth investors. While volatility has taken an upward turn in the past week, with good earnings seemingly no longer able to cause sustained upside moves, there's reason to be concerned that valuations have crept too high.
SMH: Still Perhaps The Best Way To Play America's Semiconductor Renaissance
VanEck Semiconductor ETF remains a buy, outperforming the S&P 500 and peers with strong YTD returns and high liquidity. SMH's heavy weighting in American semiconductor companies positions it to benefit from U.S. policy tailwinds like the CHIPS Act and tariffs. Risks include potential delays in U.S. semiconductor factory buildouts and geopolitical threats to Taiwan, which could disrupt chip supply chains.
