 </style>Through a detailed examination of NVIDIA, we can deduce the following trends: 
<ul>
<li>
The Price to Earnings ratio of 46.49 is 0.69x lower than the industry average, indicating potential undervaluation for the stock.
</li>
<li>
With a Price to Book ratio of 41.92, which is 6.09x the industry average, NVIDIA might be considered overvalued in terms of its book value, as it is trading at a higher multiple compared to its industry peers.
</li>
<li>
The stock's relatively high Price to Sales ratio of 24.0, surpassing the industry average by 2.29x, may indicate an aspect of overvaluation in terms of sales performance.
</li>
<li>
The company has a higher Return on Equity (ROE) of 23.01%, which is 19.85% above the industry average. This suggests efficient use of equity to generate profits and demonstrates profitability and growth potential.
</li>
<li>
Compared to its industry, the company has lower Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of $22.58 Billion, which is 0.63x below the industry average, potentially indicating lower profitability or financial challenges.
</li>
<li>
With lower gross profit of $26.67 Billion, which indicates 0.9x below the industry average, the company may experience lower revenue after accounting for production costs.
</li>
<li>
The company's revenue growth of 69.18% exceeds the industry average of 12.04%, indicating strong sales performance and market outperformance.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Debt To Equity Ratio</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750345215_0.png" alt="debt to equity" />
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio is a measure that indicates the level of debt a company has taken on relative to the value of its assets net of liabilities.
Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in informed decision-making.
In terms of the Debt-to-Equity ratio, NVIDIA can be assessed by comparing it to its top 4 peers, resulting in the following observations:
<ul>
<li>
When considering the debt-to-equity ratio, NVIDIA exhibits a stronger financial position compared to its top 4 peers.
</li>
<li>
This indicates that the company has a favorable balance between debt and equity, with a lower debt-to-equity ratio of 0.12, which can be perceived as a positive aspect by investors.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
The low P/E ratio suggests that NVIDIA may be undervalued compared to its peers in the Semiconductors &amp; Semiconductor Equipment industry. However, the high P/B and P/S ratios indicate that the stock may be overvalued based on its book value and sales. On the other hand, the high ROE, low EBITDA, low gross profit, and high revenue growth suggest that NVIDIA is performing well in terms of profitability and growth compared to its industry counterparts.

Performance Comparison: NVIDIA And Competitors In Semiconductors &amp; Semiconductor Equipment Industry

Dan Ives&#8216; new artificial intelligence exchange-traded fund (ETF) holds securities beyond the Magnificent 7 stocks, as he believes in looking past valuations for investments in the technology sector.
What Happened: The Dan IVES Wedbush AI Revolution ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVES#NYSE">IVES</a>), managed by the Wedbush analyst, started trading on June 4, earlier this month.
Ives <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/new-etfs/25/06/45774136/wedbush-launches-ai-revolution-etf-backed-by-dan-ives-proprietary-tech-picks">boasts of the fund</a> by saying that it just doesn&#8217;t have the top four, five Magnificent 7 names, but stocks which investors wouldn&#8217;t even thematically consider as an AI name today. 
"I believe the market is still massively underestimating what the growth is going to look like for the AI revolution in tech," he told CNBC.
According to him, tech trade remains significant even for the investors who missed out on its growth in the past few years.
"If you focus just on valuation, you miss every transformational tech stock of the last 20 years," Ives said.
Ives says Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) will be the &#8220;epicenter&#8221; of the AI theme, while highlighting other &#8216;AI 30&#8217; stocks which are part of his fund.
Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>), Salesforce Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>), SoundHound AI Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOUN#NASDAQ">SOUN</a>), and Innodata Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INOD#NASDAQ">INOD</a>) are a few notable names that are a part of his ETF&#8217;s &#8216;AI 30&#8217; basket.
Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), and Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) are the top three holdings of the IVES fund.

Why It Matters: The &#8216;AI 30&#8217; stocks, which are a part of the IVES ETF, hold the AI plays from multiple industries. They include hyperscalers, cybersecurity, consumer platforms, and robotics. According to Ives, the list was compiled from his deep dives into major AI players.
The ETF has $183 million in assets under management as of June 17 close. Ives said that the AI space was experiencing a "golden age."
The Dan IVES Wedbush AI Revolution ETF has risen by 2.76% since its inception. A comparable index, S&amp;P Kensho Global Artificial Intelligence Enablers, rose 6.08% on a month-to-date basis.
Meanwhile, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, declined slightly on Wednesday. The SPY was down 0.015% at $597.44, while the QQQ was 0.017% lower at $528.99, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.

Bill Gates Lands Nvidia As Partner In $650 Million Nuclear Push To Power AI Revolution

Roundhill Investments launched five new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">WeeklyPay ETFs</a>, each aiming to deliver weekly dividends without sacrificing upside or using options.
The new additions include:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Roundhill AMZN WeeklyPay ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZW#BATS">AMZW</a>), following Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), </li>
<li>Roundhill BRKB WeeklyPay ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRKW#BATS">BRKW</a>), following Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>), </li>
<li>Roundhill HOOD WeeklyPay ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOW#BATS">HOOW</a>), following Robinhood (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>)</li>
<li>Roundhill META WeeklyPay ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/METW#BATS">METW</a>), following Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) </li>
<li>Roundhill NFLX WeeklyPay ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLW#BATS">NFLW</a>), following Netflix (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>)</li>
</ul>
These launches bring the WeeklyPay family to 10 ETFs. Each fund aims to capture 120% of the aggregate return of its underlying security each calendar week, as well as a regular distribution.
That&#8217;s a clear divergence from the way most single-stock income ETFs operate, usually through selling covered calls, which exchange upside potential for option premiums. And with more than $15 billion flowing into such a strategy, the company obviously believes there is room for disruption.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Different Kind Of Income ETF</h2>
Instead of depending on derivatives, Roundhill&#8217;s WeeklyPay ETFs employ leverage to enhance returns, aiming at 1.2x the performance of the underlying stock on a weekly basis. That multiplier, naturally, involves risk, particularly in downward environments, but it also avoids having investors forego gains in a bull market, as with covered call strategies.
The money also makes weekly payments, which might be enticing for income-oriented investors tired of the slow dribble of dividends.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Tech Giants To Meme Stocks</h2>
Roundhill&#8217;s current roster already boasts single-stock ETFs tied to such names as Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), and Palantir (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>). But the company isn&#8217;t yet done.
It has applied for additional WeeklyPay ETFs tracking an eclectic roster: from blue chips such as Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), to semicon-weighty names such as AMD (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) and ASML Holding (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>), to speculative darlings such as Reddit (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>), DraftKings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>), and MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>).
The message is plain: Roundhill is looking to track the entire gamut of investor demand—tech, momentum, income, and high-risk stocks—all under one umbrella.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What To Watch</h2>
While the structure has upside potential, it&#8217;s not without its cautionary tales. Leveraged exposure, even at a 1.2x rate, amplifies gains and losses as much as it amplifies the underlying. And while the absence of options sidesteps issues of premium decay and call-away risk, investors should still look at how distributions are made and what level of volatility to anticipate.

Alibaba might have flown under the radar recently, but two of its recent moves could position it as one of the most tantalizing names to watch in China-led ETFs. With a new push into next-gen artificial intelligence and an exploding instant commerce model already at 40 million orders per day, the Chinese technology behemoth is quietly rewriting its growth narrative — and, quite possibly, realigning the trajectories of several <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">thematic ETFs</a> along the way.
Let&#8217;s break down how Alibaba is combining AI innovation and retail reinvention into a double-barrel growth play that&#8217;s impossible to ignore.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Qwen 3: Alibaba&#8217;s AI Gets An Apple Upgrade</h2>
On Monday, Alibaba Cloud announced the Qwen 3 family of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45975004/alibaba-updates-llms-to-power-ai-on-apple-devices-in-china">open-source AI models</a>, per a Reuters report. They are powerful, multilingual, multi-modal, and include a feature that sets them apart in the competitive LLM race: complete compatibility with Apple&#8217;s new MLX machine learning platform.
This implies Qwen 3 models are able to operate natively on Apple devices such as iPhones, iPads, and Macs, a potential game-changer in China, where cloud AI is limited by aggressive data sovereignty regulations. By supporting on-device AI in harmony with local controls, Alibaba has reversed what was previously a bottleneck into a distribution benefit.
More significantly, it makes Alibaba not only another AI infrastructure vendor, but a prominent facilitator of consumer-facing AI in China, a space not yet fully addressed by most U.S.-centric AI ETFs.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Instant Commerce: 40 Million Daily Orders In Record Time</h2>
Prior to this, Alibaba also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45165898/alibaba-accelerates-taobao-instant-commerce-launch-heats-up-rivalry-with-jd-com-meituan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">quietly introduced an enhanced &#8220;instant commerce&#8221; platform</a> through Taobao on May 2, driven by its food delivery business, Ele.me. In a matter of weeks, the service reached 40 million daily transactions, providing one-hour grocery delivery for consumers, as well as meals and lifestyle products.
It also keeps Alibaba ahead of legacy e-commerce players, whose growth is decelerating due to macro headwinds and increasing consumer fatigue. Instant commerce offers repeat use, increased conversion, and cross-category monetization, music to the ears of ETF managers.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why ETFs Must Take Notice</h2>
Alibaba&#8217;s double-down on instant retail and AI exactly aligns with two hot ETF themes: next-gen technology and digital consumer expenditures. The firm is a leading name in most China-biased ETFs:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KWEB#NYSE">KWEB</a>) – 9.10% Alibaba exposure</li>
<li>iShares MSCI China ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCHI#NASDAQ">MCHI</a>) – 10%</li>
<li>Invesco Golden Dragon China ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PGJ#NASDAQ">PGJ</a>) – 7.38%</li>
<li>Franklin FTSE China ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLCH#NYSE">FLCH</a>) – 8.99%</li>
</ul>
While the rest of the world&#8217;s AI ETFs, like Global X AI &amp; Technology ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIQ#NASDAQ">AIQ</a>) and WisdomTree AI &amp; Innovation Fund (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WTAI#BATS">WTAI</a>), remain dominated by U.S. exposure, that may now change with Alibaba venturing into open-source territory.
That could be the prelude to more widespread China tech rerating, particularly as investors seek out AI plays beyond Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and e-commerce tales beyond Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Bottom Line</h2>
What sets Alibaba apart here is not simply that it&#8217;s playing both in AI and retail but that it&#8217;s connecting them strategically. On-device Qwen models might one day drive personalized shopping recommendations, voice-commerce, or even AI-enhanced delivery services within its platform.
That is to say, BABA isn&#8217;t merely pursuing trends. It&#8217;s creating connective tissue among them.
For ETF investors, it&#8217;s a rare occurrence, exposure to two high-growth verticals through one single, large-cap anchor.

It&#8217;s the fourth generation of AWS&#8217;s custom-engineered data center chips, first introduced in 2018.
Graviton4, based on Arm-architecture, boasts four times the performance of Graviton1 and is even more energy-efficient than its predecessor, Graviton3. With 73 billion transistors, it&#8217;s being adopted by major customers like SAP and Epic Games for high-performance and reliable cloud experiences. This innovation, alongside other custom AWS chips like Trainium and Inferentia for AI, underscores Amazon&#8217;s leadership in cloud computing technology.
Amazon manufactures Graviton4 central processing unit at its Annapurna Labs in Austin, Texas.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Does Having A Custom Chip Matter?</h2>
Rami Sinno, director of engineering at Amazon Web Services (AWS) Annapurna Labs, cited strong demand for chips that outpaced the supply.
AWS Senior Director Gadi Hutt told CNBC about Amazon&#8217;s initiatives to provide an alternative to Nvidia Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) costly graphics processing units.
Hutt told CNBC. that Anthropic&#8217;s Claude Opus 4 AI model launched on Trainium2 GPUs and Project Rainier. Trainium3 is coming up in 2025, he said.
AWS has <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42309656/amazon-unleashes-powerful-ai-chip-clusters-to-supercharge-anthropics-models-while-challenging-nvidia-and-openais-dominance" rel="noreferrer noopener">committed $8 billion</a> to Anthropic. Also, Amazon chief&nbsp;Andy Jassy <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45982631/amazon-ceo-says-generative-ai-will-reduce-total-corporate-workforce" rel="noreferrer noopener">recently highlighted the</a> company&#8217;s extensive leveraging of&nbsp;Generative AI&nbsp;to drive value.
Jassy highlighted Generative AI&#8217;s crucial role within AWS for developers and optimizing internal functions such as fulfillment and customer service. He also pointed to developing AI agents to automate tasks and accelerate innovation.
As Amazon commits huge spending and Capex to AI, it is imperative that it design its own chips based on custom needs rather than relying on NVIDIA.
Jassy stated that this AI-driven transformation might reduce the corporate workforce in the coming years.

Texas Instruments Announces $60 Billion US Semiconductor Manufacturing Boost

The global market for humanoid robots is set to soar, with a UBS report predicting a significant increase in their numbers by 2050. This forecast is expected to have a substantial impact on various industries.
What Happened: A recent report by UBS, led by analysts in China, suggests that the number of humanoid robots in operation will reach 2 million by 2035 and a staggering 300 million by 2050. This surge is anticipated to address labor shortages and cater to aging populations, <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/300-million-humanoid-robots-are-coming-and-here-are-the-companies-that-will-benefit-04c36ae8?mod=home_ln">MarketWatch</a> reported.
The report projects the market could reach $30 billion to $50 billion by 2035, and soar to between $1.4 trillion and $1.7 trillion by 2050, encompassing expenditures on components, manufacturing, software, data, and services. 
By 2050, 86 million humanoid robots could add $400 billion to global automation revenue and $7 billion to rare-earth revenue, with costs expected to drop over 70% due to scale and supply chain gains.
UBS analyst Phyllis Wang emphasized the potential of humanoid robots for everyday use but noted that their widespread adoption could take over five years.
Several industries are expected to benefit from this projected surge in humanoid robots, including global automation, auto parts, semiconductor, battery companies, and rare-earth refiners. UBS has identified companies such as NVIDIA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Honeywell (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>), TSMC (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NASDAQ">TSM</a>), ]Cognex (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CGNX#NASDAQ">CGNX</a>), Amphenol NYSE: (APH) and several Chinese companies as potential beneficiaries.
Even Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), which is not rated as a buy by UBS, is expected to benefit from this.

Nvidia Stock Could Rise Another 38%, Making Jensen Huang-Led AI Giant A Nearly $5 Trillion Company, Says Barclays

Like many billionaires, NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO and co-founder Jensen Huang donates a portion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/education/25/05/45701924/jensen-huang-founded-nvidia-at-a-dennys-now-hes-worth-600x-more-than-the-restaurant-chain">of his wealth</a> to philanthropic efforts.
While other billionaires are helped by donating more money each year, Huang has the luck of Nvidia stock increasing significantly and growing his donations.
What Happened: The Jen-Hsun and Lori Huang Foundation was founded in 2007 by the Nvidia CEO and his wife, Lori Huang. While Jensen Huang said he doesn't check the Nvidia <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/05/45504571/does-jensen-huang-check-nvidia-stock-price-daily-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stock price daily</a>, he likely knows that it has risen more than 1,000% in the last five years.
In fact, Nvidia stock has been up more than 16,800% since 2007, according to a <a href="https://www.ceotodaymagazine.com/2025/06/how-jensen-huang-turned-nvidia-stock-into-a-9-billion-philanthropic-powerhouse/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report </a>from CEO Today. Huang donated 370,000 Nvidia shares worth $12.6 million in 2007, which turned into billions of dollars for the foundation.
Thanks in large part to the Nvidia share donation, the foundation has watched donation totals go from $828 million to $9.1 billion in just over five years.
Unlike other philanthropies and charities from billionaires, the Huangs are also relatively quiet about their efforts with the foundation having no website or full-time staff.
Due to IRS rules requiring private foundations to distribute at least 5% of their average assets annually, the foundation had to donate $123 million in 2024 to causes and will have to donate $369 million in 2025 to causes.
 You may not be a billionaire like Jensen Huang, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/06/45827517/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet-68">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
Why It's Important: Lori Huang, a trained engineer, runs the foundation behind the scenes and has helped decide which areas it will donate to annually. According to the report, Huang is focused on scientific research, healthcare, and education.
Some of the larger donations from the Jen-Hsun and Lori Huang Foundation include a $50 million grant to Oregon State University, the couple's alma mater, and a $22.5 million donation to the California College of the Arts.
The rest of the donations are mostly private, and the foundation does not make big announcements or press releases about its activities. The foundation is also putting money into Donor-Advised Funds, which allow donors to claim immediate tax deductions and delay the process of how and when the funds have to be used.
Thanks to the Nvidia stock, the foundation has assets in the billions of dollars, making it one of the larger philanthropic efforts in the country.
The foundation's assets could continue to grow if the price of Nvidia stock continues to increase. The Huangs are also donating more Nvidia stock, including a reported $60 million in June 2025, which will likely help increase the assets even more.

Jensen Huang Gave $12.6 Million To Charity, Then Nvidia's Stock Made It Billions

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">AI-themed ETFs</a> have proliferated in recent years, and many of them loaded with so-called &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/magnificent-seven">magnificent seven&#8221; tech giants</a>. 
However, not all are designed to endure the next innovation cycle. As the discussion moves from &#8220;what&#8217;s hot&#8221; to &#8220;what stands the test of time,&#8221; a new generation of ETFs is on the rise—those that adapt.
One such fund is the Wedbush ETFMG Global Cloud Technology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVES#NYSE">IVES</a>). The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/new-etfs/25/06/45774136/wedbush-launches-ai-revolution-etf-backed-by-dan-ives-proprietary-tech-picks">ETF, launched on June 4</a>, managed to <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/06/13/3099005/0/en/Dan-IVES-AI-Revolution-ETF-Surpasses-100-Million-AUM-Within-First-Trading-Week-of-Wedbush-Fund-Advisers-Inaugural-Offering.html">pull</a> in $100 million in only five trading days. 
IVES &#8220;is built to be disciplined and transparent,&#8221; Wedbush Fund Advisers CIO Cullen Rogers tells Benzinga. &#8220;We don't react to short-term performance or headlines.&#8221;
IVES rebalances quarterly and aligns with revisions to the AI30 model developed by Wedbush&#8217;s Dan Ives, who created the methodology. This frequency steers clear of performance-chasing whiplash from more active managers, while retaining thematic relevance.
The fund &#8220;follows a clear set of rules and reflects the ongoing evolution of Dan's AI30 framework. That combination of research-driven insight alongside a passive index structure gives us the ability to stay focused on the long term,&#8221; Rogers added.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Case Against Static AI ETFs</h2>
Global X Robotics &amp; Artificial Intelligence ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BOTZ#NASDAQ">BOTZ</a>) and ROBO Global Robotics and Automation ETF (ROBO) both have portfolios that lean towards robotics, semiconductors, and infrastructure-heavy hardware. 
BOTZ, for example, has Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ISRG#NASDAQ">ISRG</a>), and Keyence (OTCPK: KYCCF) as its leading holdings. 
ROBO has a strong tilt into industrials and health tech.
But these ETFs tend to be afflicted by static index approaches that fail to adjust rapidly to new AI subsectors like inference engines, generative software, or quantum compute.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Inside IVES: A Living Portfolio For A Moving Target</h2>
IVES employs a modified market-cap weighting strategy to keep its biggest bets in check. Yes, it includes the likes of Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Nvidia, and Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>). However, it also leaves room for lesser-known high-conviction picks.
&#8220;We intentionally moved away from traditional straight-line market-cap weighting to avoid exactly that issue (overconcentration and valuation risk tied to the magnificent seven stocks). The modified market-cap weighting approach we use helps large-cap leaders hold influence, but it also prevents them from overwhelming the rest of the portfolio. At the same time, it gives room for smaller, high-conviction names to matter,&#8221; said Rogers.
IVES takes a tight, research-driven approach, Rogers explains. 
"This isn't about market timing — it's about giving investors access to the companies actually building and monetizing the AI revolution, in a format that's disciplined and transparent," he adds.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Happens In A Downturn?</h2>
With valuations across the tech sector under renewed scrutiny, some wonder if AI ETFs are a bubble waiting to pop. Rogers isn't fazed. "Short-term market swings are part of investing, but IVES is built for the long run. What sets the fund apart is its ability to evolve with the AI ecosystem. Not just where it is today, but where it&#8217;s going. That's the advantage of anchoring the portfolio to Dan's ongoing research. As AI matures and new players, platforms, or verticals emerge, the index can adapt," he said.
&#8220;If the center of gravity in AI shifts from semis to inference, or from traditional compute to quantum, Dan's research is positioned to catch that. And our structure is designed to follow it. So even through a downturn, we're confident the fund will stay aligned with the most important parts of the AI value chain as they evolve,&#8221; Rogers emphasized.
Contrast that with holdings such as BOTZ, where old-school industrials and automation stocks constitute a huge percentage of the assets. They&#8217;re exposed to AI, perhaps, but sometimes indirectly and without the agility to change direction quickly.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investor Takeaway: Adaptive &gt; Aggressive</h2>
For individual investors, the message is straightforward: not to conflate AI exposure with AI relevance. BOTZ funds might have expansive baskets, but that expansiveness tends to be at the expense of thematic integrity and forward-looking design. ROBO still stands for its robotics theme and first-mover appeal, but perhaps it will not be the final say on AI innovation as it extends into software.
IVES, on the other hand, presents a more streamlined style that balances conviction with agility. It&#8217;s not attempting to be everywhere, it&#8217;s trying to be where the AI narrative is really headed.
If the previous cycle of AIs revolved around who could train the largest model, perhaps the next will be a question of who can best monetize it. In that game, flexibility, not merely exposure, may be the ultimate advantage.
As Rogers summarizes: &#8220;IVES isn't a static snapshot, it's a living framework.&#8221;

Beyond Magnificent 7: Can Thematic ETFs Like IVES Lead The Next Wave Of AI Investing? CIO Cullen Rogers Explains

Vertiv Holdings Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRT#NYSE">VRT</a>) has been quietly building the backbone of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">the AI boom</a> &#8211; and now, it's getting loud.
Still trading 25% below its peak, the data center infrastructure player just got a major jolt after announcing a deal with Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and getting a big-time analyst upgrade. With AI infrastructure demand soaring, Vertiv looks primed for a second wind.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nvidia Deal Powers Up Vertiv's AI Story</h2>
Vertiv recently announced a <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/vrt-boosts-ai-infrastructure-nvidia-deal-sign-more-upside'">collaboration</a> with Nvidia to supply its energy-efficient 142kW cooling and power reference architecture for the GB300 NVL72 platform. This puts Vertiv squarely at the heart of next-gen AI data centers, a segment exploding with investment and urgency.
The news was followed by a $32 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/VRT/analyst-ratings">price target bump from Citi</a>, taking the new bullseye to $130. With the stock closing at $117, that's an 11% upside—and investors are clearly taking notice.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">VRT: A Technically Bullish Setup</h2>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0617"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="628" height="486" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/17133044/Screenshot-2025-06-17-at-11.00.31-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-952726" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/17133044/Screenshot-2025-06-17-at-11.00.31-PM.png 628w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/17133044/Screenshot-2025-06-17-at-11.00.31-PM-300x232.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px" /></a></figure>

Vertiv's technicals are flashing green across the board. The stock is trading above its eight, 20, 50 and 200-day moving averages. The MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) indicator reads 4.71 &#8211; bullish. The RSI (relative strength index) is hovering at 64.35, suggesting buying pressure but still shy of overbought territory.
Fundamentally, it's not just about momentum. Stephanie Link, chief investment strategist at Hightower Advisors, who recently added Vertiv to her portfolio, highlights long-term earnings growth in the mid-20% range and industry outperformance of 300–500 basis points.
With Dave Cote, the former Honeywell CEO, now steering the ship as executive chair, noted Link in comments shared with Benzinga over email, some are betting history may repeat itself.
So yes, Vertiv is still 25% off its highs. But with Nvidia in its corner and AI demand surging, that dip might not last much longer.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has been logging a majority of revenue declines over the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AAPL/earnings">past few quarters</a> &#8211; unusual for a company long viewed as a flagship growth stock. But for investors still expecting explosive upside from Cupertino, it may be time for a portfolio recalibration.
Despite the iPhone maker's premium brand equity and robust ecosystem, the "growth" narrative around Apple is increasingly misplaced, says analyst Sandeep Rao of Leverage Shares in exclusive comments shared with Benzinga via email.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Apple Revenue Growth, Innovation Slowing</h2>
The company's latest net sales trend shows just a 12% year-over-year increase &#8211; a figure that barely keeps pace with inflation. When adjusted for price hikes, actual unit growth appears stagnant.
Worse, innovation seems to be slowing. Apple's product lineup, while polished, lacks the wow factor or competitive edge needed to convert new users in droves. Unlike the Android universe, which offers a range of devices at multiple price points, Apple's model seems geared toward retention &#8211; not aggressive expansion.
With little in the way of AI leadership and a Services segment facing margin pressure (more on that in a moment), Rao says, &#8220;Apple is better understood as a &#8216;value&#8217; stock instead of a &#8216;growth" stock.'&#8221; And that's not necessarily a bad thing.
For dividend-driven investors, Apple may be carving out a new niche. While its 0.5% yield pales in comparison to energy giants, it beats peers like Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>). And its global consumer base and strong balance sheet position it as a potential bellwether for economic stability.
If you're seeking the next breakout tech name, Apple may no longer fit the bill. But for those seeking stability and modest income, it might just be settling into a new, quieter kind of greatness.
