Summary
SMHCL Chart
SMH: Not Overvalued, Just Early
For SMH to maintain a CAGR performance similar to the last decade (>24%), there must also be a positive evolution in earnings expectations. Its structure helps: it's hyper-concentrated on the sector's core companies. For many, that's a risk, for me, it's potentially an alpha-driven feature. The fact remains: it trades at a premium, even with earnings expectations still at record highs in the info tech sector.
SMH: Not A Time To Be Greedy - Wait For Dips
The semiconductor sector has reported a massive reversal after the worst of the market-wide meltdown in April 2025 and the market's fears surrounding the potentially slowing AI spending cadence. With SMH's top three holdings delivering double beat performances and raised future guidance, it is unsurprising that the consensus have raised their forward estimates. On the other hand, it is apparent that their rallies may have occurred overly fast and furious, as observed in the ETF's expensive valuations compared to its peers.
SMH: The Growth Story Remains Incredibly Mispriced
The Nasdaq's "V" bottom recovery has defied bearish predictions, driven by a pause in tariffs and strong tech earnings, particularly in AI sectors. Semiconductor investors should stay confident, as AI growth fears were overstated, with Nvidia's transition to Blackwell and TSMC's investments anchoring the AI thesis. Despite cyclical headwinds in non-AI segments, the semiconductor industry's forward P/E and PEG ratios suggest a buying opportunity, with resilient price action supporting this view.
