Launched on March 6, 2017, the Global X U.S. Infrastructure Development ETF (PAVE) is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to provide a broad exposure to the Utilities - Infrastructure segment of the equity market.
Global X US Infrastructure Development ETF is downgraded from buy to hold after strong outperformance and a valuation approaching 25x P/E. Despite bullish seasonality and robust momentum, PAVE's technicals show bearish RSI divergence and resistance at the top of its uptrend channel. The ETF's heavy Industrials and Materials exposure, plus AI/data center ties, increases risk and correlation with the S&P 500.
