It has top holdings in Apple Inc (AAPL Quick QuoteAAPL - Free Report) , Alphabet Inc (GOOGL Quick QuoteGOOGL - Free Report) and Microsoft Corp (MSFT Quick QuoteMSFT - Free Report) with 14.0%, 10.3% and 9.4% allocation, respectively (as of June 30, 2017) (see all Technology ETFs here).

Why the Move?

The move can primarily be attributed to the tech sector’s earnings expectations. The tech-heavy Nasdaq reached a record high and was up more than 0.36% at market close on July 24, 2017, ahead of a week of tech earnings. Alphabet Inc released better-than-expected second-quarter results on July 24, 2017. Moreover, Facebook and Amazon (AMZN Quick QuoteAMZN - Free Report) are also scheduled to come up with their quarterly results later this week. Therefore, investors are confident and are looking at this sector as a potential investment.
