The Best Semiconductor ETF to Buy With $1,000 Right Now
Chip stocks are still hot, but one ETF stands out as the better choice given current conditions.
Overview
Big tech companies, including Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta Platforms, and Oracle, are committing hundreds of billions of dollars to capital expenditures in 2026. Most of it will go toward artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, with semiconductor chips a big part of that.
If you want a single ETF to capture that trend, the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ: SMH) is the one to own. Year to date (through June 16), the fund is up 71% after returning 49% in 2025. Over the past five years, it's produced an average annual return of just over 38%.
