VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH)

Bear markets are a great time to buy.

The rule fired again in July. How much should investors trust a 7-for-8 record?

Ai investors like the Fed's rate pause, but it may not last long.

While chip stocks slide, cybersecurity and software names like HACK, IGV, Microsoft, CrowdStrike, and Palantir hold near highs, suggesting a rotation within tech rather than a broad exit.

Semiconductor stocks have pulled back amid rate concerns and AI buildout worries. SMH, SOXX, and XSD offer differing ETF approaches to gaining exposure as the industry potentially recovers.

History has shown that demand for technology tends to go up and to the right.

The semiconductor industry has consistently outperformed the S&P 500 for many years, and these two stocks look like winners.

The build-out phase is ending. The next phase involves figuring out how it all links together.

The chip fund needs gains of around 14% a year to get there. What might stop it?

Nvidia is the chip fund's top position. So where did the rest of the fund's gain come from?

Despite strong gains for stocks in 2026, these two groups still have positive catalysts working in their favor.

As the Nasdaq-100 nears its all-time high, QQQ, XLK, SMH, QQQI, and SOXX offer distinct ways to gain tech and semiconductor exposure, from low-cost to income-focused options.

This semiconductor ETF continues to look ripe for more gains.

There are not many ETFs that can match this ETF on performance.

The fund's wins came by double-digit margins -- and its two losses were about twice as deep as the market's.

The next rotation in the AI trade may be beginning.

Historically, September brings unusually harsh selling pressure to the stock market.

This ETF has outperformed most of the major tech and growth ETFs over the past 10 years.

While SOXX and SMH both track the semiconductor industry, their portfolios are balanced very differently.

TradeSmith's Jeff Clark favors call options over shares on TLT, UNG and SMH to limit risk, citing Treasury bonds, natural gas and semiconductors as contrarian plays as major indexes trade near record highs.

SiTime's strong Q2 2026 earnings beat highlight rising AI infrastructure demand for enabling technologies, also lifting comparable niche semiconductor firms FormFactor and Cognex.

It feels like you're missing out. In reality, most of the industry's biggest gains driven by the advent of AI are probably in the rearview mirror.

Semiconductor stocks are 20% off of their highs. That might not be a bad thing.

A broader sell-off in AI stocks weighed on Arm.
