The iShares Semiconductor ETF Is Obliterating the S&P 500 in 2026, but Is It Still a Buy? The Answer Might Surprise You.
Overview
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ: SOXX) is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that exclusively invests in American companies that design and manufacture chips and components, but it's particularly focused on those involved in the artificial intelligence (AI) segment of the market.
As a result, the fund has large positions in stocks like Micron Technology, Advanced Micro Devices, and Nvidia, which have contributed to its staggering 108% return in 2026 so far. It's crushing the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) index, which has climbed by just 10% this year.
Details
Is there still time for investors to buy the iShares ETF, or have they missed the boat? The answer isn't as clear-cut as you might think.
