ETF Brand League Table
Welcome to the etf.com league table. On this page, you'll find the U.S. ETF market through different lenses: brand and issuer. What's the difference? The brand is what the ETF says on the tin. For example, "iShares" is the brand of issuer "BlackRock's" ETFs. Because many issuers license their ETF infrastructure to third parties, we present the data in both ways. The identification of the correct brand and legal issuer is done by our key data provider, FactSet.

Alphabet reported earnings on July 22 and the stock dropped more than 7% in a single session. The numbers weren't bad. Cloud grew 82% year over year. Advertising held up. EPS beat. What rattled investors was the spending. Capital expenditure guidance for 2026 came in at $195 billion to $205 billion. Free cash flow went negative for the first time in the company's history. The market looked at that bill and sold first, asked questions later.
Five days later, Phillip Securities ****** yst Serena Lim Yi Qi published a note saying the market got it wrong. On July 27, she upgraded Alphabet to Buy from Accumulate, lowered her price target to $425 from $450, and explained why the combination of those two moves makes sense.
The upgrade from Accumulate to Buy is the meaningful part of the call. Phillip Securities is saying Alphabet's AI momentum has reached the point where sitting on the sidelines no longer makes sense, according to Investing.com.
Lim Yi Qi pointed to Alphabet's vertically integrated AI ecosystem as the core of the bull case. The company controls its own custom silicon through its Tensor Processing Units, runs optimized data centers, and deploys its Gemini models across Search, Cloud, and its broader product suite. That integration, in her view, gives Alphabet a structural advantage that is starting to show up in the numbers in a meaningful way.
The free cash flow picture is more complicated. Alphabet turned negative on free cash flow for the first time this quarter because of the scale of its AI investment. Lim Yi Qi views that as a temporary condition supporting stronger long-term growth rather than a structural problem. The company has also raised its 2026 capex guidance to a range of $195 billion to $205 billion, signaling the buildout is far from over.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM) plans to raise chipmaking prices by up to 10% starting in 2027, according to Nikkei Asia, citing multiple people briefed on the talks. Reuters and Bloomberg both confirmed the report. Base price increases will range from 5% to 10% depending on the customer and product, and mature-node chips built on 12nm, 16nm, and 28nm technology face increases up to 10%. Negotiations ran from June to July, with new pricing taking effect at the start of 2027. TSMC's U.S listed shares surged 4.6% on the news (Tuesday).
TSMC is the main chipmaker for Nvidia and Apple, and it also makes processors for AMD and Broadcom. The company did not comment on pricing directly, but a spokesperson said its "pricing strategy is strategic, not opportunistic." CEO C.C. Wei said in June he wanted to raise prices, while adding that TSMC would avoid the kind of abrupt hikes some memory chipmakers have imposed. The move follows TSMC's second-quarter results, where profit jumped 77% to a record T$706.6 billion, or about $22 billion, beating market expectations.
That raises a real question. With customers unable to easily switch suppliers for the most advanced chips, does TSMC have so much pricing power that there's barely a bear case left, or does something still stand in the way?

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said American companies should be free to use Chinese open-source artificial intelligence models, positioning himself against Trump administration officials and U.S. AI labs that have sought to restrict them.
"These Chinese models are excellent," Huang told Axios on Tuesday. "Open-source models that are excellent should be used." He said companies should "absolutely" be allowed to use them.
The remarks came as the release of Kimi K3, a model from Beijing-based Moonshot AI that combines near-frontier performance, lower prices, and open weights, has rattled chip and AI stocks, reviving concerns that cheaper models could undercut the case for large AI infrastructure spending. Huang argued Wall Street has the situation backward. "Free AI should be great for hardware," he said. "Free AI should be great for chips. Free AI should be great for data centers." Cheaper and more accessible models draw more people into AI ecosystems, he argued, and that broader adoption ultimately drives up demand for the chips and data centers that Nvidia provides.
Huang also rejected the argument that downloaded Chinese models create a security backdoor to Beijing. Companies can customize those models and run them inside secure environments, he said, and openness makes AI more secure because outside researchers can inspect models and identify weaknesses. "If everything just becomes one single model, one single point of attack, one single source of failure, I think the world is much, much more vulnerable," he said.
His comments came hours after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox Business that the administration is examining Chinese AI models for evidence of stolen U.S. intellectual property and considering sanctions. "If we see ... that overseas models are stealing from our great companies, we have the ability to sanction them because of this theft," Bessent said, according to Axios. Huang said companies should still face consequences for violating privacy or contracts, but he argued the response should target misconduct, not the models themselves. "Distillation, learning from AI, learning from other sources of knowledge, is fundamental to intelligence," he said.

A US private equity firm has launched a £3.1bn takeover bid for the operator of Britain's immigration removal centres as Reform UK promises mass deportations.
Mitie, a Home Office contractor that operates a network of immigration facilities, confirmed it had agreed to a 221p-per-share offer from fellow outsourcer OCS.
The merger between Mitie and OCS, which is owned by a US private equity firm, Clayton Dubilier & Rice, would create one of Britain's biggest private-sector employers.
Mitie's Home Office contracts include hundreds of millions of pounds in deals related to managing detention facilities and escorting immigration detainees to removal flights.
The deal brings to an end four decades on the London Stock Exchange for Mitie, although it could raise questions about the operations of Britain's immigration services.

Cohen & Steers (NYSE:CNS) reported higher second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings and ****** ets under management, as executives pointed to improving demand for real estate, infrastructure, preferred securities and broader real ****** ets strategies.
On the company's earnings call, Chief Financial Officer Amit Muni said Cohen & Steers generated adjusted earnings per share of $0.85, up from $0.79 in the first quarter and $0.73 in the year-earlier quarter. Net income was $44 million, rising 8% sequentially and 18% from the second quarter of last year.
→ 3 ****** e Stocks That Could Outshine ****** eX After Its IPO
Assets under management increased about 8% to more than $100 billion, driven by positive market performance and net inflows. Muni said the firm generated $1.3 billion of net inflows, "one of the strongest flow quarters in our recent history," while its institutional pipeline stood at $1.6 billion.
Revenue increased 5% from the prior quarter to $152 million, which Muni attributed to higher average ****** ets under management from market appreciation and net inflows. Total operating expenses rose 3% to $97 million, primarily due to higher incentive compensation accruals tied to increased revenue.

When Warren Buffett handed the reins to Greg Abel at the end of 2025, the big question was what Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKB)(NYSE: BRKA) would do with its enormous pile of cash. We're starting to get an answer, and it has a name: Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL)(NASDAQ: GOOG).
Berkshire has rapidly built a position in the Google parent worth more than $20 billion. That's a striking move for a company whose new CEO could easily have spent his first months playing it safe. So what does Abel see in Alphabet, and what does the buying say about how he plans to deploy Berkshire's capital?
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Berkshire first bought a small amount of Alphabet in the third quarter of 2025, while Buffett was still CEO. But the scale of the purchases changed dramatically once Abel took over. In the first quarter of 2026, Berkshire more than tripled its Alphabet holding. That pushed the position to about $16.6 billion by the end of March, enough to make Alphabet its seventh-largest equity holding.
And then, in June, Berkshire agreed to a $10 billion private placement of Alphabet stock, buying about 28.6 million new shares directly from the company as part of Alphabet's massive equity raise. The purchase was split evenly between Alphabet's two publicly traded share classes, at prices modestly below where the stock traded at the time.

A road-paving company delivered explosive growth, yet its stock price has been stuck in neutral. The evidence suggests a quiet standoff between performance and perception.
Over the last twelve months, Construction Partners (ROAD) grew its revenue 49%, yet its stock returned -3.2%. That disconnect presents a stark question for investors: Is the market correctly pricing in a future slowdown that isn't in the numbers yet, or has it simply looked away while the business executed?
Why did the market ignore a near-50% surge in sales?
The numbers paint a picture of a business hitting its stride. Trailing-twelve-month revenue growth of 49% is a significant acceleration over the company's 3-year average of 32%. This performance isn't a fluke of accounting, either; operating cash flow is a healthy 270% of net income. And no, this isn't a case of profitless growth, as operating margin actually increased year over year. Despite this, the stock's price-to-sales multiple compressed 26% over the same period. The market took a business growing faster and valued each dollar of its sales at a quarter less than it did a year ago.
This valuation squeeze happened while the company was building a formidable project backlog of $3.14 billion. Management is busy executing on a wide range of projects, from paving work for data centers in Texas to infrastructure preparations for the upcoming FIFA World Cup in Houston. The company's strategy involves both organic growth and a disciplined M&A strategy, recently adding Four Star Paving in Tennessee to its portfolio. Yet, the stock trades about 26% below its 52-week high.

Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISRG) has declined more than 29% over the past 6 months and is now trading close to its 52-week lows. The downward pressure stems from regulatory scrutiny regarding instrument reuse and concerns over Chinese competition.

BofA noted that its services team has flagged a lower utilization environment, suggesting hospitals and surgical centers are using robotic surgery systems less intensively than previously expected. Moreover, the firm's ******* yst Steed also noted that factoring in inflation as a growing headwind in 2027, with less room for margin expansion across the medtech sector.

At the beginning of June, I wrote about two sector exchange traded funds (ETFs) that had become significantly overextended. The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) was trading more than 50% above its 200-day moving average, while the iShares Software ETF (IGV) was over 25% above its 50-day moving average.
Historical data showed that after reaching these extreme levels, sector ETFs tended to experience a short-term pullback before resuming a longer-term uptrend. Specifically, it highlighted the following month's underperformance and outperformance. Since May, however, SMH has chopped around to a 5% gain. IGV has pulled back sharply potentially creating a buying opportunity if history is any indicator.
Plus, with that historical trend in mind, IGV could outperform for the next several months. In this article, I'll look at the stock holdings of the ETF and see if we can find some favorite individual plays based on the data.
The table below lists the top holdings of the IGV software ETF along with some stock performance data. I show month-to-date, year-to-date, and year-over-year returns. The last column in the table shows where the stock is relative to the last year of trading (0% means it's at its low and 100% means it's at its high).
I sorted the list by the stock's performance since the end of May. For those looking for pullbacks, since that's the pattern that has played out in the past, it's the stocks at the top of the table that have pulled back the most recently. If you're looking for a pullback but want to avoid a beaten down stock, AppLovin' (APP) has pulled back sharply, though its 52-week range shows 41%. Several stocks near the bottom of the table have been strong long-term and held up well over the past month when most of the sector had struggled.

X-Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:XE) is one of the 10 Best New Stocks to Buy Other Than ******* eX.
On June 23, 2026, TD Cowen named X-Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:XE) a best smid-cap idea for 2026 and kept a Buy rating with a $35 price target. TD Cowen said the stock's pullback after the Q1 report looked overdone. The firm also said the Amazon power agreement submittal shift should not affect the project timeline and sees several catalysts that could help de-risk the X-energy story later this year.
On June 4, X-energy reported Q1 revenue of $43.4M, versus the $67.87M consensus. CEO J. Clay Sell said the company's first earnings announcement as a public company marked an "important moment," pointing to progress in commercializing advanced nuclear technology at scale. Sell said X-energy remained focused on advancing the Xe-100 and TRISO-X fuel while strengthening its regulatory and commercial foundation. CFO Daniel Gross said the recent IPO improved X-energy's liquidity profile, providing approximately $1.1B in net proceeds of additional capital.
Earlier in June, X-Energy submitted an application to enter the United Kingdom's Generic Design ******* sment process for its Xe-100 High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor. Subject to acceptance, the submission marks a significant milestone in X-energy and Centrica's efforts to deploy up to 6 GW of new nuclear in the United Kingdom.

Medicare's two-year lookback converts a 2024 home-sale gain into a 2026 premium spike reaching $649 per spouse monthly in Part B alone.
The $500,000 married-couple exclusion leaves every dollar above exposed to IRMAA, but pushing a closing into January shifts the entire gain's lookback year.
A surviving spouse's IRMAA threshold drops from $218,000 to $109,000, potentially pushing the same gain into the top bracket with no income change.

A couple sold their longtime home in 2024 for $1.2 million after buying it decades ago for $300,000. After applying the $500,000 married-filing-jointly primary residence exclusion, they still had a large taxable capital gain. Two Januarys later, their 2026 Medicare bills landed, and the Part B premium had jumped by hundreds of dollars per month, per spouse. The sale closed in 2024, but Medicare priced the income into their premiums two years later.

July WTI crude oil (CLN26) today is down -1.92 (-2.51%), and July RBOB gasoline (RBN26) is down -0.0276 (-0.92%).
Crude oil and gasoline prices gave up overnight gains and are sharply lower. Crude prices retreated today on signs of progress in US-Iran peace talks, including a waiver on some Iranian oil sanctions. Also, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is allowing crude supplies to flow, easing global oil supply concerns. Crude prices initially opened higher in overnight trade when Iran threatened to suspend talks and close the Strait of Hormuz following Israeli attacks against Hezbollah in Lebanon, and after President Trump threatened military action against Iran if Hezbollah militants continue to attack Israel.

It was seemingly unthinkable earlier this year as gold raced to new highs, but the yellow metal is now in the throes of a bear market. Using the SPDR Gold Shares (NYSEMKT: GLD), the largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund (ETF), as the measuring stick, bullion's bear market is confirmed by the ETF trading 22% below its 52-week high at the close of U.S. markets on June 16.
Not surprisingly, the commodity's slide is a serious drag on gold stocks. Just look at the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSEMKT: GDX). The largest ETF dedicated to companies that extract gold from the Earth is some 25% off its 52-week high, joining its physical gold friends in the bear camp.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
The VanEck ETF's recent weakness is a reminder that, while mining stocks are closely correlated with gold prices, these equities, broadly speaking, have a track record of overshooting the commodity's price movements in both directions. Plus, gold miners, including those held by this ETF, are often more volatile than gold itself. All that said, this mining ETF may offer an opportunity for risk-tolerant investors.
The easy answer is that gold will regain its groove, and that could happen if the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates. The gold/rates relationship is easily explained. Physical gold or an ETF such as the aforementioned SPDR fund yields no dividends or interest payments to investors, so when Treasury yields are elevated, low-risk U.S. government debt is simply more enticing to many investors than no-income gold.

NVDA surged 420% from the inflection Maguire maps ***** eX to; RKLB, the closest public launch proxy, has already climbed 320% over the past year.
Maguire's 'hold forever' stance is backed by a 2029 to 2030 revenue model, but he holds at Sequoia's cost basis while public investors do not.
Don't wait: the ***** yst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just revealed his top 10 AI stocks. See the full list FREE now.
Sequoia Capital partner Shaun Maguire went on CNBC last week and said ***** eX (NASDAQ:SPCX), freshly trading, looks to him "more like Nvidia three years ago" than Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). He also said he plans to hold his shares "forever." Sequoia is a longtime ***** eX backer, so the incentive to talk his book is obvious. Still, the comparison is worth unpacking because it is a specific claim about where ***** eX sits on the curve, and the curve has a recent, very expensive precedent.
Three years ago, in June 2023, NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) traded at a split-adjusted $39.41. The AI thesis was contested, hyperscaler capex was just beginning to inflect, and bears framed the stock as a cyclical chip name riding a temporary GPU shortage. Since then, NVIDIA shares are up 419.89%, the company carries a $4.95 trillion market cap, and Q1 FY27 data center revenue alone hit $75.25 billion, up 92% year over year. CEO Jensen Huang called the buildout "the largest infrastructure expansion in human history." You can read the underlying 8-K here.

Occidental Petroleum Corporation (NYSE:OXY) was among the stocks Jim Cramer highlighted on Mad Money as he noted that the market has an appetite for stocks. Inquiring about the stock, a caller sought Cramer’s take on it, and in response, he said:
Okay, at this point, I don’t want to make it sound like I’m pro-war… but I’m going to say it: If the war ends, that stock’s going to go down a lot, okay, and that’s the way you have to look at it.

Occidental Petroleum Corporation (NYSE:OXY) explores for and produces oil, natural gas, and liquid condensates and handles their marketing, processing, and transportation. Cramer discussed the stock during the April 1 episode and remarked:
Next up, I was a little surprised that with crude oil up more than 70% year to date, there were only three oil plays among the S&P’s top 10 performers, APA, Texas Pacific Land, which you know we’ve liked a lot, and Occidental Petroleum, which frankly we haven’t liked at all… How about OXY? Occidental Petroleum’s up 58%. Ever since OXY, as it’s known, acquired Anadarko nearly seven years ago, it became the higher risk way to play the price of crude. People do that. Instead of buying a crude index, they buy Occidental. When oil goes higher, this stock rallies hard, but when oil comes down, the stock gets pulverized. Basically, OXY’s a big loser if peace breaks out and a big winner if Iranians insist on keeping the Strait closed.

Occidental Petroleum’s up 58%. Ever since OXY, as it’s known, acquired Anadarko nearly seven years ago, it became the higher risk way to play the price of crude. People do that. Instead of buying a crude index, they buy Occidental. When oil goes higher, this stock rallies hard, but when oil comes down, the stock gets pulverized. Basically, OXY’s a big loser if peace breaks out and a big winner if Iranians insist on keeping the Strait closed.

Here is my take before the details. I think Tesla (TSLA) stock still belongs in a long-term investor's portfolio, but only for those who can stomach an elevated price-to-earnings multiple.
The China sales pop and the worldwide rollout of its driving software strengthen the bull case. Yet TSLA stock trades at a punishing valuation. So, I view Tesla as a name to accumulate on weakness.
