As such, iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX - Free Report) and VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF (SMH - Free Report) have gained about 4% over the past three months while First Trust NASDAQ Semiconductor ETF (FTXL - Free Report) has added 3%. The solid trend might continue in the weeks ahead going into the earnings season (read: Semiconductor ETFs Soaring to New Heights).
Some well-known players in the space like Texas Instruments (TXN - Free Report) , Intel (INTC - Free Report) , Qualcomm (QCOM - Free Report) , NVIDIA (NVDA - Free Report) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD - Free Report) will report earnings in the coming days. Let’s delve into the financial picture of the companies that have a higher allocation in the above-mentioned ETFs and the power to move the funds up or down as Q3 earnings unfold.
