In this episode of ETF Spotlight, I speak with Ivana Delevska, Founder and CIO of Spear Invest, about investing in AI, cybersecurity, and other innovative technologies. Ivana manages the Spear Alpha ETF (SPRX - Free Report) , which is up about 45% over the past year.
The most anticipated market event this week is NVIDIA’s (NVDA) earnings, which could significantly impact the broader market. Many analysts have raised their price targets ahead of the report.
AI stocks came under pressure this week, with some high-flyers like Palantir (PLTR - Free Report) experiencing steep declines, mainly due to concerns about a bubble. An MIT paper warned that most companies surveyed have not yet seen returns on their generative AI investments. In addition, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman suggested that some investors have become “overexcited” about AI.
Cybersecurity has emerged as a critical theme in the age of AI, with the global market for cybersecurity products and services expected to grow significantly. As more companies adopt AI in their operations, criminals are also using the technology to intensify and scale cyberattacks.
There has also been a lot of buzz around space companies this year. The most valuable one, SpaceX, remains privately held, so investors are searching for alternative ways to gain exposure to the theme. Some space IPOs skyrocketed on their first day of trading, only to crash shortly afterward, making investing in this sector particularly tricky.
The Spear Alpha ETF (SPRX - Free Report) invests in companies benefiting from breakthrough trends in industrial technology. Its top holdings include NVIDIA, Astera Labs (ALAB - Free Report) , Arista Networks (ANET - Free Report) , Palo Alto Networks (PANW - Free Report) , and Vistra (VST - Free Report) .
