- SOXX, SOXL Retreat To Red Premarket, But Retail Is 'Extremely Bullish' Ahead Of Tech Earnings
Technology and AI ETFs slipped back into negative territory in premarket trading Tuesday, after closing higher Monday following a sharp selloff last week. SOXX was down more than 1% and SOXL lost over 4% premarket, after SOXX fell nearly 12% and SOXL closed the previous week nearly 33% lower on concerns over AI buildout and debt. Retail investors remain 'extremely bullish' ahead of earnings from Meta, Tesla, IBM, Lam Research, Texas Instruments and other companies this week. Year to date, SOXX is up nearly 67% and SOXL has rallied over 134%.
- SOXX Extends Selloff After 8-Day Decline, KOSPI Rebounds: Jim Cramer Calls SK Hynix 'Epicenter Of Fear'
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) fell 0.8% overnight, extending its losing streak to eight sessions, as doubts grew over whether AI investments will pay off quickly enough and financing risks mounted. AMD and Intel slipped less than 1%, while Nvidia gained 0.2%. Higher-than-expected US inflation has raised expectations of further rate hikes, adding pressure on debt-reliant companies. South Korea's Kospi plunged 7.6% on Thursday, triggering a circuit breaker, before rising 3.4% on Friday with Samsung Electronics up a similar amount. Jim Cramer called SK Hynix the 'epicenter of fear' because the Kospi is still up more than 50% and many investors are underwater, saying buyers are needed for CoreWeave bonds, Oracle stock and SK Hynix.
- You Bought a Semiconductor Fund. On $500,000, $87,743 of It Is NVIDIA
In a $500,000 position in the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH), about $87,743 is tied to NVIDIA, based on a June 30, 2026 filing that showed NVIDIA at 17.55% of the fund. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) was next at 9.29%, and the fund holds just 25 equity positions, with the five largest making up 43.88%. The article notes that weights in this sector shift quickly, so current exposure may differ. It also compares SMH with the SPDR S&P Semiconductor ETF (XSD), which gives each holding a similar weight and held NVIDIA at 2.1%. SMH's adjusted price rose 1,815.17% over ten years through October 12, 2026, while NVIDIA gained 13,856.12%, and the article suggests investors add up their NVIDIA exposure across all accounts.
- Anthropic IPO, MANGOS ETFs and the Future of the AI Trade
This ETF Spotlight podcast features Paul Marino, Chief Revenue Officer of Themes ETFs, discussing the AI trade, the Anthropic IPO, and investing in MANGOS companies. The AI trade came under pressure last week after hotter-than-expected inflation readings, and neocloud stocks, especially highly leveraged ones, plunged. Anthropic held an investor meeting ahead of an IPO that could be the biggest ever, with third-quarter revenue reportedly up 45% to $16.8 billion. The Leverage Shares MANGOS ETF (MGOL) gives exposure to six MANGOS companies, including Meta, Anthropic, NVIDIA, Alphabet, OpenAI and SpaceX, via derivatives, while investors should weigh the risks of limited transparency in private companies. AI is creating new cybersecurity risks while expanding long-term opportunities, and uranium has benefited from AI data center buildouts, yet uranium and nuclear ETFs such as URAN have struggled this year.
- SOXX Is Splitting 3-for-1 Again: What Changes for Your Shares and What Doesn’t
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXX) will split 3-for-1 effective November 5, 2026, so each share becomes three and the price per share adjusts proportionally, while the total value of a position is unchanged at the moment of the split. The fund traded near $492 early Thursday after falling 12% over the past month, and it last split 3-for-1 on March 7, 2024. It is up over 55% year to date and about 72% over the past year, with an expense ratio of 0.33%. The article attributes the sector's rally mainly to AI data center spending, citing $298.5 billion in global chip revenue in the first quarter, up 79% year over year, though much of the growth came from average selling prices rising 57%. It suggests checking share count and cost basis after November 5 and tracking hyperscaler capital spending guidance.

Latest news
- Not Stocks or Real Estate, This Is the First Group of Shares to Benefit as Interest Rates Fall
Mr. Đỗ Bảo Ngọc, General Director of Kirin Securities (CSI), says falling interest rates will affect sectors differently. Construction and infrastructure construction stand to benefit directly from lower borrowing costs and better disbursement progress, while real estate and securities benefit indirectly and later. Securities shares are notable because they fell sharply during the rate-hike period, but the gains become clear only when liquidity improves and capital flows back. Banks may face pressure on net interest margin (NIM) when they cut lending rates to support businesses, although overall bank profits do not necessarily fall by the same amount.
- A High-Profile Stock Faces Simultaneous Net Selling by 16 Funds
HPG remained on the net-selling list for a fourth consecutive month, with 16 funds net selling about 8.3 million shares in September 2026, mainly from PYN Elite, DCDS, DCDE and LVF, according to FiinGroup. Banking was the only sector net bought above VND 1,000 billion (about VND 1,034 billion), while real estate saw net selling of about VND 2,212 billion and financial services about VND 1,347 billion. Funds recorded net outflows of VND 8,600 billion in Q3, the seventh consecutive quarter of withdrawals, bringing nine-month outflows to nearly VND 31,700 billion, up 34.2% year on year. The average return of equity funds fell 6% in Q3, with 87 of 88 funds posting negative results.
- Gloomy market: investor cash on securities accounts falls to a three-year low
Investor deposits at securities companies were estimated at about VND 72,000 billion at end-Q3 2026, down over 12% from the previous quarter and the lowest since end-Q2 2023, marking the second straight quarterly decline. Compared with a record of about VND 131,000 billion at end-Q3 2025, balances have shrunk by about VND 59,000 billion, or roughly 45%. The decline is broad: VPS still leads with VND 12,834 billion but fell 11% in the quarter, TCBS dropped more than 31% to VND 6,225 billion, and SSI stands at VND 5,572 billion, while Vietcap rose over 122% to VND 5,067 billion. Average matched trading value on HoSE was only about VND 14,000 billion per session, down about 23% from the previous quarter and 63% year on year, reflecting more cautious investor sentiment.
- Q3 2026 securities firm update: big names report "backward" profits, two losses of hundreds of billions emerge in the sector
Based on 81 securities firms that have reported, total pre-tax profit in Q3 2026 reached about VND 11,000 billion, down 43% year on year, with 58 firms in profit and 23 reporting losses. TCBS led with VND 2,152 billion, up over 6% and its highest level in company history, while SSI earned VND 1,295 billion (down 27%) and VPS VND 1,119 billion (down nearly 20%). Meanwhile, HDS's quarterly profit more than tripled year on year, ABS rose 552%, and VIX's profit plunged nearly 94% to about VND 192 billion. Nine-month cumulative results stayed strong for many, including TCBS up nearly 13%, SSI up 8% and VPS up nearly 27%.
- A Key Indicator Hints at the Possibility of VN-Index Entering a “New Wave”
The State Bank of Vietnam on October 18 asked credit institutions to cut lending rates for priority sectors, and several commercial banks have also cut deposit and lending rates, raising hopes that capital costs will ease. However, Mr. Đỗ Bảo Ngọc, General Director of Kirin Securities (CSI), says a single rate cut is not enough to move money significantly, and the downtrend must be sustained over the medium term. Liquidity is the most important indicator to watch; continued rate cuts alongside stronger trading value in Q4 or early Q1 next year would be a clearer sign that money is returning. Some experts say a sustained uptrend requires liquidity above VND 20,000 billion per session and large-cap stocks leading, conditions not yet met even though P/E and P/B have fallen to low levels. The article argues investors need not wait for VN-Index to break out to find opportunities, but a sharp stock decline alone is not reason enough to buy.
- A Vietnamese Woman Has Just Added More Than VND 4,000 Billion to Her Fortune
