VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH)
Entry(Needs to pullback for entry): Unlock
Price target: 345.00-355.00
Second PT: Unlock
We'll be slowing adding to this name as it pulls back using the "DCA" strategy.
Semiconductor stocks have been the biggest beneficiary of the artificial intelligence boom, with names like Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom, TSMC leading the way. But given how quickly technology is evolving and new deals are being inked, it’s becoming difficult to assess which of these names will remain in the leadership position. Investors who don’t have the time to keep up with the industry’s latest trends could opt into the VanEck Semiconductor ETF instead, which offers exposure to the biggest semiconductor companies without taking on the risk of a single stock.
The ETF owns a basket of the top semiconductor companies, including Nvidia, TSMC, Broadcom, AMD, Intel, Micron, and more. Nvidia is at the top of its holdings with an 18.8% allocation, but it is actively managed by the fund managers so this number changes as they make adjustments. Given the fact that it is actively managed, there is a fee charged to investors. The ETF’s annual expense ratio is .35%, and while this is high compared to index ETFs and passive funds, it is quite low for a thematic fund that’s actively managed like SMH.
Why are we looking at this now?
Semiconductor stocks sank with the market last week following new tariff fears. This led to the largest single day decline since April, finally giving investors the chance to buy at a lower price. While we don’t think the pullback is just over yet, this is a top name to ease into as the markets gives better entry points. As the AI boom continues for the next 2-3 years, SMH is a top rated name to hold for exposure to this transformative time.
Please note that this may take longer than one week to come around to targets and we may change our entry / exit levels if necessary. We'll be updating the stock as needed for our Hyper Stocks Pro members. Wanna see real-time market updates? Learn more here.
Meta Platforms (META)
Entry: Unlock
Price target: 800.00-820.00
Second PT: Unlock
We'll be slowing adding to this name as it pulls back using the "DCA" strategy.
Meta’s stock has given a rare pullback over the past three weeks as investors react to regulatory risks from the European Union and concerns over AI spending, but this decline in price is seen as an opportunity to invest into a great company at its lowest price in three months.
The company doesn’t need an introduction, but in case you don’t know, Meta Platforms owns and operates Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads, four of the most widely used social media platforms in the world. Beyond social media, Meta has aggressively positioned itself as a leader in artificial intelligence and virtual reality through its LLaMA AI models and Reality Labs division.
While the market is currently focused on the company’s heavy AI infrastructure spending, investors should remember that Meta has consistently proven its ability to monetize new technology and deliver long term growth. With over 3 billion daily active users across its ecosystem, Meta’s advertising business remains one of the most powerful in the world, and its AI tools are enhancing ad targeting and engagement, boosting efficiency for businesses and creators alike.
Looking at their financials, Meta’s revenue grew 22% last year to reach a record $164.5 billion and is on track to approach nearly $200 billion this year. Net income is following suit, with 34% growth in Q1 and 36% in Q2 of this year, leaving them at strong operational margins that continue to expand as efficiency gains from their “Year of Efficiency” initiative take effect. This leaves them at a price to earnings ratio of 26x, making them one of the cheapest among the Magnificent 7 stocks.
Regulatory pressure from the EU and privacy concerns may create near term noise, but these challenges are not new for Meta and have historically been followed by strong recoveries. At current levels, Meta’s valuation has become attractive again relative to its growth potential, making this pullback a buying opportunity for long term investors who believe in the future of AI driven social platforms and digital advertising.

SPDR S&P Metals & Mining ETF (XME)
Entry: Unlock
Price target: TBD
Second PT: TBD
We'll be slowing adding to this name as it pulls back using the "DCA" strategy.
There’s a war going on across the globe, an economic one centered around rare earth materials and magnets. These critical minerals are the backbone of modern technology, powering everything from smartphones and electric vehicles to fighter jets, satellites, and advanced semiconductors. For years, China has dominated the global supply chain, controlling over 80% of rare earth refining and magnet production.
But that dominance is now being challenged. For a matter of national security, the United States and its allies are aggressively moving to secure domestic and regional supply chains, investing billions to reduce dependency on Chinese exports. This shift has ignited a new industrial race, one that spans from the mines to the magnets.
That’s where XME comes in. Unlike many global metals funds that hold heavy exposure to Chinese producers, XME is composed entirely of U.S. listed companies, many of which are at the center of America’s resource independence push. Its holdings include MP Materials ($MP), the only U.S. rare-earth miner and processor, as well as Freeport-McMoRan ($FCX) and Cleveland-Cliffs ($CLF), both essential to domestic copper, steel, and critical metal infrastructure.
In a world where resource control is becoming as strategic as military power, XME offers investors a pure play on U.S. re-industrialization…the movement to reclaim control over the materials that power defense, energy, and AI innovation. With potential tariff expansions, federal subsidies, and Department of Defense contracts on the horizon, this ETF stands to benefit from a structural shift in how nations think about materials security.
So, why ETF and not single stock?
It’s tempting to invest in single stocks like $MP and $TMQ after the U.S. took equity positions in them, but many of these mining companies are still pre-revenue and project based. Yes, MP Materials does generate revenue already, but the majority of others, including MP, are still in their “promise” stage, building the infrastructure necessary to finally produce, which could take years and may not happen at all. Taking a position in an ETF like XME gives exposure to a basket of these companies without taking on the risk of a single stock.
