SMH: Semi Investors Appearing Greedy And Forgetful Again (Downgrade)
SMH has outperformed the S&P 500, driven by AI infrastructure optimism and leadership from Nvidia, Broadcom, and TSMC. Geopolitical and trade uncertainties, especially around US-China relations and potential tariffs, remain significant risks for semiconductor stocks. AI infrastructure growth could broaden globally, but regulatory, supply chain, and CapEx digestion risks may temper near-term upside.
Why Selling Puts On SMH Is Our Favorite 13%+ Yielding Play Right Now
Yields are drying up as rates are poised to move lower, but high-yield option trades remain interesting to us. SMH is a great candidate for selling put options. The underlying portfolio is high quality, and the fund has enough volatility to generate a significant yield. There are some risks, but we think selling $235 strike, September put options could yield meaningful cash, with a strong margin of safety.
