Invesco S&P MidCap Momentum ETF (XMMO) is rated a buy with a $170 price target, implying 20% upside for 2026. XMMO is positioned to benefit from Fed rate cuts, robust US GDP growth, and strong earnings momentum in mid-cap stocks. XMMO's portfolio is diversified across sectors, led by high-growth holdings like CIEN, TWLO, and LITE, supporting the bullish outlook.
XMMO is a popular mid-cap momentum fund with a 0.35% expense ratio and $5.2 billion in assets under management. It's also one of the top-performing funds in its category. In July, I touted XMMO's outstanding momentum, excellent growth-at-a-reasonable price, and adequate quality features as reasons to buy. However, the latter two have deteriorated since its Index's reconstitution in September. XMMO's forward P/E has increased from 18.84x to 23.28x, while its holdings' EBIT margins and ROTC have dropped by about four points.
Launched on March 3, 2005, the Invesco S&P MidCap Momentum ETF (XMMO) is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to provide a broad exposure to the Mid Cap Growth segment of the US equity market.
On this episode of the “ETF of the Week” podcast, VettaFi's Head of Research, Todd Rosenbluth, discussed the Invesco S&P MidCap Momentum ETF (XMMO) with Chuck Jaffe of Money Life. The pair discussed several topics related to the fund to give investors a deeper understanding of the ETF.
The Invesco S&P MidCap Momentum ETF (XMMO) offers a momentum-driven, growth-focused strategy with a strong tilt toward industrials and technology sectors. XMMO trades at a premium valuation, reflecting its above-average earnings and sales growth, but also carries higher volatility and downside risk than peers. The fund has delivered top-tier performance, outpacing the S&P Mid-Cap 400 and most peers, but amplifies both market gains and losses due to its momentum approach.
Invesco S&P MidCap Momentum ETF offers a momentum-driven approach to mid-cap investing, outperforming the S&P 400 benchmark with only slightly higher risk. XMMO's momentum strategy delivers superior risk-adjusted returns, evidenced by significantly higher Sharpe ratios compared to IJH, despite a modestly higher expense ratio and lower dividend yield. Current market conditions—declining interest rates and reasonable valuations—make XMMO especially attractive, but investors should monitor interest rates and valuation levels for potential risks.

XMMO's strategy changed six years ago, and it has paid dividends for investors, delivering an impressive 132% return that trounced the S&P MidCap 400 Index. The strategy is straightforward in that it only uses one-year price returns to select 80 S&P MidCap 400 Index stocks, repeating the process twice annually in March and September. While XMMO guarantees strong exposure to momentum stocks, my analysis also revealed excellent GARP features. Notably, its estimated earnings growth rate is better than the S&P MidCap 400 Growth Index.
I assign XMMO a Hold rating due to limited transparency and frequent methodology changes that hurt long-term performance analysis. XMMO's current momentum index underperforms its previous strategies, with negative alpha and risk-adjusted returns lagging the S&P 500. The ETF's risk metrics are reasonable, but it fails to deliver meaningful outperformance, making it less compelling for aggressive investors.

Momentum factor is currently leading US factor performance, but XMMO has underperformed, prompting a downgrade from buy to hold. XMMO's assets have grown, despite a negative return, reflecting net inflows; its expense ratio is moderate, and the ETF is diversified. Financials, the largest sector weight in XMMO, have underperformed, posing a risk to the ETF's rebound.
