from The Daily News Now! Business

The iShares Semiconductor ETF, SOXX, skyrocketed 40% in April, surpassing the S&P 500, driven by easing Middle East tensions, data center deals, and soaring AI chip demand. Intels earnings report, Taiwan Semiconductor, and NXPs performance highlighted supply shortages. Investors flocked to top holdings like Nvidia, Broadcom, Micron, and AMD, riding the AI wave. CoreWeave secured massive cloud deals with Meta and Anthropic. Late-month earnings from hyperscalers hint at continued demand, with Meta blaming steeper chip prices. SOXX now trades at a P/E of 52.3, but Nvidia and Microns growth amid AI demand suggests more upside potential. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
