With no change to any of the iShares models this week, we look at the iShares Future AI & Tech ETF (ARTY).
There are no changes to any of the iShares models this week. Within the last week, technology has overtaken financials to move into second in the DALI sector rankings, trailing only the closely related communications services sector. In last week’s report, we discussed the iShares US Tech ETF (IYW).
It’s no secret that AI has been one of the major drivers of strength in the technology sector over the last couple of years. Investors looking to add AI-focused technology exposure may wish to consider the iShares Future AI & Tech ETF (ARTY). ARTY currently has a near-perfect 5.88 fund score, which is 1.26 points better than the average for all technology funds, and a positive 5.76 score direction. The fund gave a second consecutive buy signal on its trend chart in Wednesday’s trading when it completed a bullish triangle at $44. Though it sits at a multi-year high, ARTY remains in actionable territory with a weekly overbought/oversold (OBOS) reading of 49% and the triangle consolidation has established support nearby at $41.50 and $41.
ARTY’s five largest holdings are Arista Networks (ANET), Broadcom Inc (AVGO), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), NVIDIA Corp (NVDA), and Vertiv Holdings (VRT), which account for roughly 27% of the portfolio. Year-to-date (through 9/10) ARTY has gained 19.5% on a price return basis, outpacing the S&P 500 ([SPX}) by about 8.5%.
