The Fund employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the CRSP US Large Cap Growth Index (the Index), a broadly diversified index predominantly made up of growth stocks of large U.S. companies. The Fund attempts to replicate the target index by investing all, or substantially all, of its assets in the stocks that make up the Index, holding each stock in approximately the same proportion as its weighting in the Index. The Fund may become non-diversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the Index.

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) focused on growth equities &#8211; characterized by robust revenue growth, high valuations, and strong potential for innovation – experienced elevated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">inflows in June.</a>
This surge in interest towards growth-linked funds coincided with a significant outperformance of growth over value stocks, reflecting increased investor confidence in the tech sector and disruptive innovations like artificial intelligence.
The eight largest growth-linked ETFs by assets under management (AUM) collectively experienced a substantial $12.2 billion in inflows from the beginning of the month through June 24.
Leading the pack, the Vanguard Growth ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VUG#NYSE">VUG</a>) saw the highest monthly inflows among its peers, attracting an impressive $5.68 billion. This remarkable figure is set to mark the Vanguard Growth ETF&#8217;s record monthly inflows, ranking second in June only to the nearly $10 billion attracted by the broader iShares Core S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVV#NYSE">IVV</a>).

Tech, AI Drive $12.2B Inflows Into Growth ETFs, Marking Record Outperformance Over Value

In a bid to boost the market success of its mixed-reality Vision Pro headset, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has added the two largest online retailers in China to its roster of supported applications.
What Happened: The Vision Pro headset, priced at $3,500, will now be supported by the native apps of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) and JD.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>), <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-06-24/apple-adds-alibaba-jd-to-list-of-vision-pro-apps-for-china">reported</a> Bloomberg on Friday. The apps will offer various features such as virtual test drives of Xiaomi cars and makeup simulations.
App support is seen as crucial for the success of Vision Pro, which has had a rocky start in the U.S. with Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) opting out of creating a bespoke app.
The headset, which is set to launch in China, Japan, and Singapore on Jun. 28, has seen a significant sales premium for imported units in overseas markets but has failed to generate significant sales so far.
Apple&nbsp;stock gained nearly 12% in the last 12 months. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Vanguard Growth ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VUG#NYSE">VUG</a>) and&nbsp;Vanguard Information Tech ETF&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VGT#NYSE">VGT</a>)

Why It Matters: Apple&#8217;s expansion into the Chinese market with the Vision Pro headset comes amid several challenges. The company has been facing obstacles in its artificial intelligence push in China due to stringent regulations and rising <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/06/39425871/apples-ai-push-encounters-obstacles-in-china-with-stricter-regulations-and-local-co">competition from local firms</a> like Huawei. 
Additionally, Apple has reportedly been struggling to develop a more <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39449011/apple-struggling-to-create-its-cheaper-vision-pro-model-says-expert-its-dealing-with-some-difficult">affordable version of the Vision Pro</a>. The high price tag and lack of mainstream appeal have led to a re-evaluation of the Vision Pro&#8217;s roadmap. The company aims to make the headset more accessible by introducing a range of devices with varying price points.
Apple is also in ongoing discussions with several Chinese companies, including Baidu and Alibaba, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/06/39434301/apples-ai-strategy-faces-hurdles-in-china-talks-with-local-firms-are-ongoing">to integrate AI functions</a> into its devices sold in China. This is part of Apple&#8217;s strategy to navigate the complex regulatory environment and enhance its product offerings in the region.

Apple Adds Alibaba, JD To Vision Pro Apps In China Amid Global Struggle

Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is seeking a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/china">local partner in China</a>.

Earlier this year, Apple explored the possibility of obtaining approval for a foreign large language model to be used in its devices in China but found the chances to be slim. This led Apple to intensify talks with potential local partners. The region, including mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau, accounted for 18% of Apple's global revenue in the quarter ended March 30.
Why It Matters: Local companies pose a growing threat to Apple's market position in China. In the first quarter of this year, the iPhone <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/03/37479073/apples-iphone-sales-dip-24-in-china-falls-to-fourth-place-behind-vivo-and-huawei" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">dropped to third place</a> by handset market share among smartphone brands in China, falling behind two local brands, the Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/for-apples-ai-push-china-is-a-missing-piece-7d2b0ec6" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Huawei will likely increase its market share to 17% this year, while Apple's share will drop to 16%.
In 2023, Apple increased the number of its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/06/39164337/apples-streaming-ambitions-in-china-continue-despite-geopolitical-tensions" rel="noreferrer noopener">China-based suppliers</a> and manufacturing sites. The company opened a new Apple store in Shanghai, and CEO Tim Cook attended the China Development Forum in Beijing, highlighting the market's significance.
Apple&nbsp;stock gained 14% in the last 12 months. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via Vanguard Growth ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VUG#NYSE">VUG</a>) and Vanguard Information Tech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VGT#NYSE">VGT</a>).

What's Going On With Nvidia Stock On Thursday?

The Invesco S&amp;P 500 GARP ETF (ARCA:SPGP) was launched on 06/17/2011, and is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to offer broad exposure to the Large Cap Growth segment of the US equity market.
The fund is sponsored by Invesco. It has amassed assets over $4.98 billion, making it one of the larger ETFs attempting to match the Large Cap Growth segment of the US equity market.
Why Large Cap Growth
Large cap companies usually have a market capitalization above $10 billion. Considered a more stable option, large cap companies boast more predictable cash flows and are less volatile than their mid and small cap counterparts.
Growth stocks have higher than average sales and earnings growth rates. While these are expected to grow faster than the broader market, they also have higher valuations. Something to keep in mind is the higher level of volatility that is affiliated with growth stocks. Even though growth stocks are more likely to outperform their value counterparts in strong bull markets, value stocks have a record of delivering better returns in almost all markets than growth stocks.
Costs
Expense ratios are an important factor in the return of an ETF and in the long term, cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive counterparts, other things remaining the same.
Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.34%, putting it on par with most peer products in the space.
It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 1.28%.
Sector Exposure and Top Holdings
While ETFs offer diversified exposure, which minimizes single stock risk, a deep look into a fund&#39;s holdings is a valuable exercise. And, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.
This ETF has heaviest allocation to the Energy sector--about 24.80% of the portfolio. Information Technology and Materials round out the top three.
Looking at individual holdings, Diamondback Energy Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fang#NASDAQ">FANG</a>) accounts for about 2.49% of total assets, followed by Marathon Petroleum Corp (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mpc#NYSE">MPC</a>) and Steel Dynamics Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/stld#NASDAQ">STLD</a>).
The top 10 holdings account for about 20.39% of total assets under management.
Performance and Risk
SPGP seeks to match the performance of the S&amp;P 500 GROWTH AT A REASONABLE PRICE IDX before fees and expenses. The S&amp;P 500 Growth at a Reasonable Price Index is composed of securities with strong growth characteristics selected from the Russell Top 200 Index.
The ETF has added roughly 7.06% so far this year and is up about 24.48% in the last one year (as of 05/20/2024). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $84.30 and $106.72.
The ETF has a beta of 1.10 and standard deviation of 17.94% for the trailing three-year period. With about 77 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
Alternatives
Invesco S&amp;P 500 GARP ETF carries a Zacks ETF Rank of 3 (Hold), which is based on expected asset class return, expense ratio, and momentum, among other factors. Thus, SPGP is a good option for those seeking exposure to the Style Box - Large Cap Growth area of the market. Investors might also want to consider some other ETF options in the space.
The Vanguard Growth ETF (ARCA:VUG) and the Invesco QQQ (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qqq#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) track a similar index. While Vanguard Growth ETF has $123.57 billion in assets, Invesco QQQ has $266.83 billion. VUG has an expense ratio of 0.04% and QQQ charges 0.20%.
Bottom-Line
Retail and institutional investors increasingly turn to passively managed ETFs because they offer low costs, transparency, flexibility, and tax efficiency; these kind of funds are also excellent vehicles for long term investors.

Top 3 Growth Stocks For 2024 And Beyond: 'I Have a Pretty Long Runway Because Of My Age,' Says Redditor

Last week, the House of Representatives moved forward on a bill that could<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/03/37664282/tiktok-bill-passes-house-vote-influencers-on-edge-chinese-owned-app-used-by-150m-americans"> ban TikTok in the U.S.</a> unless it is sold by its owner ByteDance Ltd.
The move has already faced rejection from Beijing and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37620686/tiktok-ban-looms-as-expert-predicts-harsher-us-china-restrictions-decoupling-is-really-in-full-force">is risking adding yet another complication</a> to the already unstable relationship between the world's two largest economies.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The TikTok Bill, Explained</h3>
TikTok, the popular short-video social media app used by more than 170 million Americans is facing scrutiny in Congress over concerns that ByteDance, its Chinese parent company, could comply with the Chinese government in actions liable to undermine national security.
The bill cleared the House with ease on Wednesday, but its passage received strong criticism from TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew, who warned that banning TikTok <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37688964/tiktok-ban-could-take-out-billions-of-dollars-out-of-creators-pockets-and-put-over-300k-american-job">could put &#8220;more than 300,000 jobs&#8221; in the U.S. at risk</a>.
If the bill passes in the Senate, ByteDance will be given the option to sell its U.S. operations or face a shutdown. In recent days, several prospective buyers came out to announce their interest, including former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/03/37713530/tiktok-bidding-war-mnuchin-kotick-emerge-as-potential-buyers"> former Activision Blizzard CEO </a>Bobby Kotick.
Analysts expect competitor companies in the social media space to benefit in<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/03/37689925/tiktok-ban-benefits-meta-and-others-but-us-is-playing-a-little-with-fire-says-wedbu"> the event of a TikTok ban</a>. These include Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and Snap Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>), as U.S. users would naturally move to other platforms offering similar products.
In a recent poll, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/03/31282325/if-tiktok-is-banned-readers-overwhelmingly-say-theyll-flock-to-one-specific-app">38% of Benzinga users responded</a> that they're most likely to migrate to Instagram, owned by Meta, in the event of a ban, while 26% said they would move to X, formerly known as Twitter.
ETFs with heavy exposure to Meta and other U.S.-listed social media apps include Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLC#NYSE">XLC</a>), Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) and Vanguard Growth Index Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VUG#NYSE">VUG</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What The Bill Means For U.S.-China Relations</h3>
A ban on TikTok, which has been talked about in Washington for years, could have vast consequences for U.S.-China relations. The issue was first brought forth in 2020 by former President Donald Trump, who raised the fact that a Chinese-owned company could hand over U.S. user data to the Chinese government or even be infiltrated by government officials who could manipulate the content algorithms to spread misinformation.
According to OpenSecrets, ByteDance is actively lobbying to fight restrictions in U.S. courts and in Congress, having spent north of $8.7 million in these efforts in 2023 alone, 77% more than the previous year.

Trump issued an executive order in 2020 to force a sale of the company's U.S. operations, but it was blocked in court.
Surprisingly, Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/03/37722366/why-did-donald-trump-change-his-mind-about-tiktok-follow-the-money-says-rep-nancy-pelosi">has come out to say he's against the ban now</a>, as he sees it benefiting Meta, a company that is in competition with Truth Social, the social media platform he owns. Trump has blamed Meta for "cheating" in the 2020 presidential election, which he lost.
The new piece of legislation comes at a time when U.S.-China tensions are rising. The TikTok bill can be read within the context of a broader strategy to limit Chinese control over key strategic technologies.
The U.S. has already set out measures to slowing China's development of AI systems by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/01/36714857/nvidias-key-market-china-wants-to-beat-us-embargo-boosts-chipmaking-machinery-imports-by-14">limiting its access to high-end semiconductors</a>, as well as preventing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/02/37313622/chinese-ev-entry-could-trigger-extinction-level-event-for-us-auto-industry-report-warns">Chinese electric vehicles from entering the U.S. market</a>.
Biden has recently referred to technology aboard Chinese-made EVs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/02/37388707/chinese-tech-in-cars-now-a-security-threat-biden-says-not-going-to-let-that-happen-on-my-watch-as-us">as a "security threat."</a>
Taiwan, a holder of key tech manufacturing infrastructure, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37049135/china-taiwan-conflict-poses-common-risk-for-apple-amazon-tesla-and-other-magnificent-7-giants-jeremy">would be at the center of any potential military escalations</a>, as its territory is claimed by China, while remaining a U.S. strategic ally.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Does China Have The Upper Hand?</h3>
Last Thursday, a spokesman for China's Ministry of Commerce signaled that the Chinese government would interfere with an effort to divest TikTok, forcing the app to forgo its U.S. user base before being sold, as <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/tiktok-ban-chinese-owners-bytedance-1a857a06?">reported</a> by the WSJ.
Chinese authorities have previously stated that any sale of TikTok to U.S. buyers would need to be approved by the Chinese government as it would signify the sale of Chinese technology. Content-recommendation algorithms, like the ones behind TikTok's massive success, are within China's export-control list, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/14/tiktok-ban-china-would-block-sale-of-short-video-app.html">reports</a>.
A TikTok ban in the U.S., given its large user base, would likely face significant public backlash, potentially allowing China to use its influence to obstruct the sale and compel the U.S. government to seek alternative solutions.

TikTok Ban: China Has The Power To Block Sale, Gains Leverage Over Washington

Vanguard has become a towering figure <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">in the world of exchange-traded funds (ETFs)</a>. 
As investors increasingly turn to ETFs for their diversification, lower costs, and liquidity, understanding the offerings and strategies of major players like Vanguard is essential. 
Yet, amidst this expansive array of financial instruments, one notable absence in Vanguard&#8217;s portfolio raises eyebrows: the lack of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/bitcoin-etf">Bitcoin ETF. </a>
Here, we delve into the five critical factors about Vanguard ETFs, also explaining why a Bitcoin ETF is deliberately missing from their portfolio lineup.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Vanguard&#8217;s Status In The ETF Arena</h3>
Vanguard ranks as the second-largest ETF issuer globally, overseeing a diverse portfolio of over a hundred ETFs and boasting an impressive $2.5 trillion in assets under management (AUM), just shy of BlackRock Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>), which leads with $2.7 trillion AUM.
The Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>), with $426 billion in AUM as of Mar. 14, 2024, is not only Vanguard&#8217;s flagship fund but also the world&#8217;s second-largest ETF, trailing slightly behind the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) at $503 billion.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Conservative Product Range</h3>
Unlike some of its peers, Vanguard has opted for a more conservative route in its ETF offerings. The company does not offer leveraged ETFs, sticking strictly to equity and fixed-income products. 
This strategic choice highlights Vanguard&#8217;s focus on traditional investment vehicles over speculative or alternative assets. Vanguard&#8217;s portfolio notably lacks any commodities, currency, or Bitcoin-related ETFs.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Absence of Bitcoin and Crypto ETFs</h3>
This absence isn&#8217;t due to oversight but a deliberate decision. Vanguard has explicitly stated it has no plans to introduce a Bitcoin ETF or any other crypto-related products, distinguishing itself from other major ETF issuers — such as BlackRock, VanEck, Franklin Templeton, WisdomTree, Invesco, Fidelity, Global X, 21 Shares and ProShares – who have embraced the crypto bandwagon.
Why No Bitcoin ETF? Vanguard&#8217;s Reasoning
Vanguard&#8217;s stance on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies is grounded in a cautious approach to investment merit and client needs. Janel Jackson, global head of ETF Capital Markets and broker &amp; index relations at Vanguard, has expressed skepticism about the role of cryptocurrencies in long-term portfolios. 
Citing crypto&#8217;s speculative nature, lack of inherent economic value, and potential to disrupt portfolio stability, Vanguard sees crypto as an &#8220;immature asset class.&#8221; 
Instead, the company invests its interest in blockchain technology for its potential to enhance capital market efficiency, steering clear of cryptocurrencies as investment products.

5 Things You Need To Know About Vanguard ETFs: Why There's No Bitcoin ETF In Their Lineup?

Blake Moore, a Representative from Utah, reported a purchase of Vanguard Growth ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VUG#NYSE">VUG</a>) stock on January 24, 2024. According to the Periodic Transaction Report the transaction was placed on January 24, 2024.
What Happened: A recent report from the House of Representatives Clerk's Office on January 24, 2024 reveals that Moore made a purchase of <a href="www.benzinga.com/quote/VUG">Vanguard Growth ETF</a> stock valued between $102,003 - $280,000.
Vanguard Growth ETF shares are trading up 0.31% at $323.67 at the time of writing.
<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be used primarily to make an investing decision, however, they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
A Congressional transaction is when any Representative or Senator either buys or sells an individual stock. Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
When a Senator or Representative makes a new purchase, that could be an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure. 
<h3>Trade Recap</h3>
A January filing states that Utah Representative Blake Moore bought shares of Vanguard Growth ETF. The exact amount of the transaction remained unknown but the filing states a range of $102,003 - $280,000.

Recent Filing Shows That Rep. Blake Moore Bought Over $102K Worth of Vanguard Growth ETF Stock

On Wednesday&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/podcast-show/pmp">Benzinga PreMarket Prep</a>, Todd Gordon, founder of Inside Edge Capital and TradingAnalysis.com, provided a rich analysis of market strategies, offering a sharp focus on the tech sector as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premarket-prep">we head into 2024.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2023 In Review: Diversification And Growth Fund Performance</h2>
Gordon highlighted his biggest mistake in 2023 as over-diversifying his growth fund, resulting in an excessive sector allocation. Despite this, the year was generally positive, without any major setbacks. 
He emphasized the importance of focusing on mega-cap growth, which affected the growth portfolio's performance.
Gordon observed the tech sector&#8217;s resilience amid global economic headwinds, noting its strong recovery post-pandemic and the sustained demand for technological solutions.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Looking Ahead: 2024 Predictions And Market Indicators To Watch</h2>
For 2024, Gordon stressed the significance of yield curves, specifically the relationship between nominal and real yields. He pointed out the inversion scenario in the market, with a focus on the 10-2 real yield curve. His analysis suggests that a high interest rate environment (around 7.5% for mortgages), when offset by net costs and inflation, isn't as daunting as it appears.
He predicted a potentially more stable interest rate environment in 2024, which could benefit long-term investments in tech.
As yields go down, growth stocks, as tracked by the Vanguard Growth ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VUG#NYSE">VUG</a>), should outperform value counterparts, as monitored by the Vanguard Value ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTV#NYSE">VTV</a>).
The expert pointed out the significant amount of money parked in money market funds (around $6.14 trillion in Q2 of 2023) and discussed how shifts in interest rates could influence market dynamics and investor behavior.
Gordon also delved into the potential impact of the Federal Reserve&#8217;s rate adjustments. He expressed cautious optimism, anticipating a continuation of the bullish market, but remains vigilant about possible downturns.
He suggested that any significant change in unemployment could be a precursor to a recession, highlighting the importance of monitoring these indicators.
Gordon, an Elliott Wave analysts, also provided a technical perspective on the S&amp;P 500, discussing potential resistance zones and forecasting a need for a pullback after a five-wave move in the market.
For 2024, Gordon anticipates further growth, particularly in areas like AI, cloud computing, and cybersecurity, driven by ongoing digital transformation trends.

Pre-Market Outlook

EXCLUSIVE: Todd Gordon Tells 'PreMarket Prep' Bull Market Will Continue In 2024

The House of Representatives is counting its 13th day without a leader <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/23/10/35135359/kevin-mccarthy-resigning-from-congress-after-being-ousted-as-top-house-republican-heres-what-former">after the ouster of U.S. Rep. Kevin McCarthy from the speakership position</a>.
McCarthy was removed from his role Oct. 3 in a vote in which the Democrats, together with eight hard-right Republicans, decided to remove a House speaker for the first time in U.S. history.
In the meantime, the House is frozen, unable to act. The situation has caused several urgent bills to become untouched, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/10/35270063/biden-pledges-support-for-israel-against-hamas-ukraine-against-putin-were-the-united-states-of-ameri">a proposal by President Joe Biden to send aid to Israel to assist in its conflict with Hamas</a>, as well as a new measure needed to avoid a looming government shutdown, which is approaching in one month.
Government Shutdown Stopgap Expires In 1 Month: The vote earlier this month left the Speaker chair vacant and the House in mayhem. The historic event proved a testament to the growing difficulties gnawing away at the GOP, whose increasingly bitter internal disputes are grinding Washington, D.C. to a halt. 
It remains to be seen which political figure will have the power to unite the GOP-led House and harness the necessary votes to win the speakership.
McCarthy's run as speaker was short-lived and tumultuous. Throughout his tenure, McCarthy negotiated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/06/32704441/biden-signs-debt-ceiling-bill-to-avert-government-default">a high-stakes bill to raise the debt ceiling</a>, avoiding a default. Just last month, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/35019457/government-shutdown-avoided-congress-acts-just-in-time">Congress approved a stopgap bill aimed at preventing a full government shutdown</a>.
Yet the continuous resolution that allowed the government to continue to operate only lasts until Nov. 17, one month from now. If the House can't agree on a speaker in time, the government risks facing new shutdown risks. 
A House Divided: Within McCarthy's turbulent ride through the speakership position, one event stands out: his tortuous election for the role. It took 15 voting sessions to get McCarthy elected in January. He won the vote by 216 votes against New York Democrat Hakeem Jeffries, who received 212 votes.
McCarthy achieved the position after giving major concessions to hard-right Republicans who had been holding out on the vote.
Nine months later, the House appears even more divided. The House reconvenes on Monday and is expected to hold a vote for speaker at noon Tuesday. 
So far, only one candidate has been put forward by the GOP: U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, from Ohio.
Jordan is one of the co-founders of the conservative Freedom Caucus, and a friend and ally to former President Donald Trump. Jordan won a secretly held internal vote, by which the GOP voted 124 to 81 to put him ahead of Georgia's Austin Scott.
Scott, a more moderate Republican who sides with McCarthy, decided to run against Jordan in an effort to avoid ceding control of the House to far-right Republicans.
An internal poll conducted by House Republicans on Friday revealed that only 152 of them would vote for Jordan on a floor vote, while 55 would oppose him, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/13/us/politics/house-speaker-jordan-scalise.html">according</a> to The New York Times. Jordan needs 217 votes to win the speakership if the House has full attendance.
All 212 House Democrats are expected to vote again for Jeffries. That leaves a big gap to fill for Jordan to win the speakership in a narrowly controlled House.
Jeffries said he would consider a coalition with Republicans who don't want Jordan on the role only if there's a change in House rules, allowing for both parties to choose what legislation is put up to vote. In the current scheme, Republicans have full control over which bills get a vote.
On Sunday, he told NBC "there are informal conversations that have been underway. When we get back to Washington tomorrow, it's important to begin to formalize those discussions."
Concurrently, allies of Jordan spent the weekend campaigning for him on social media, in an effort to flip the necessary representatives needed to put him in the speaker seat.
A recurring argument they used says that those Republicans who oppose Jordan are standing in the way of allowing the House to return to action.
Over the weekend, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/10/35251860/kevin-mccarthy-on-speakership-chaos-how-do-you-allow-4-of-the-conference-to-do-this-to-the-entire-co">McCarthy blamed the hard-right Republicans who voted against him</a> for being the ones who caused the turmoil and blocked the House.
"How do you allow 4% of the conference to do this to the entire country?" he said to reporters.
Stocks To Watch: Further turmoil in Congress could have a negative effect on high-risk stocks. Investors often shy away from risk during times of instability in favor of safer options like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-a-bond">government bonds</a> or defensive stocks from consumer staple companies followed by Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLP#NYSE">XLP</a>) or Vanguard Consumer Staples Index Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VDC#NYSE">VDC</a>).
ETFs based on growth and innovation, normally used to follow aggressive stocks, could have a thesis against them in a deadlocked Congress situation. The innovation ETF Invesco QQQ Trust Series I (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), following the Nasdaq-100 index is among this group, along with the Vanguard Growth Index Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VUG#NYSE">VUG</a>).

Congress In Chaos: House Is Set For Speaker Vote Tuesday, But GOP Candidate Jim Jordan Has A Long Way To Go

Markets displayed a response Friday to the Federal Reserve&#8217;s Jackson Hole symposium that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/23/08/34042963/chair-powell-at-jackson-hole-fed-is-ready-to-raise-rates-further-if-appropriate">defied pre-event concerns</a>.
The first day of the annual Fed conference unveiled a mix of hawkish and dovish insights from the Federal Reserve, ultimately providing a reassuring tone to investors. 
Fed Chair Jerome Powell&#8216;s statements carried significant weight. Despite underlining the Fed&#8217;s commitment to raise rates further if necessary, Powell also remarked that it will proceed carefully and base decisions on data-driven assessments. 
The event featured a lineup of prominent Fed officials, including Philadelphia Fed President Patrick Harker, Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee and Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester. Harker and Goolsbee, both voting members of the FOMC, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/23/08/34045414/feds-harker-breaks-ranks-with-powell-rejects-further-rate-increases-signaling-board-di">struck a dovish note</a>, in contrast to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/34045506/feds-loretta-mester-says-we-only-get-a-trophy-if-inflation-hits-2">Mester&#8217;s hawkish stance</a>.
Speculators, sensing potential policy shifts, raised their bets on a rate hike in November, pushing implied probabilities above 50%. Despite this uncertainty, the broader market showcased resilience during the symposium&#8217;s opening day Friday. 
All three major U.S. stock indices concluded the session on a positive note, demonstrating a collective upward trajectory. The S&amp;P 500&#8217;s 11 sectors followed suit, with every sector in the green. Volatility, gauged by the &#8220;Vix&#8221; fear index, saw a notable drop of 10%, reflecting calmer market sentiment.
Amid this backdrop, a snapshot of five major ETFs reveals intriguing insights:
1. SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)
The SPY ETF turned the tide with a 0.8% increase, snapping a streak of three consecutive weeks of losses. The ETF closely mirroring the S&amp;P 500 index enjoyed positive price action throughout the latter half of the trading day. Friday&#8217;s rebound partially offset the 3.5% dip observed since the beginning of the month. Notably, Hasbro Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAS#NYSE">HAS</a>) emerged as the top performer within the SPY, marking a 6.7% gain for the day.
2. Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>)
Friday saw the technology sector taking the lead in performance, as the XLK surged by 1.3%. Despite widespread expectations that hawkish remarks from Jackson Hole might exert pressure on tech giants, this did not materialize.
Likewise, the day&#8217;s gains only managed to partially offset Thursday&#8217;s losses, leaving XLK down by 5.4% since the beginning of August. 
Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTU#NASDAQ">INTU</a>) emerged as the top performer, displaying a notable 4.5% increase.
3. Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>)
Securing the second spot in daily performance among S&amp;P 500 sectors is the energy sector, with a robust 1.2% upswing. This surge was primarily propelled by escalating oil and natural gas prices. WTI crude oil confidently crossed the $80 per barrel mark, up 1.8%, while natural gas echoed the sentiment with an equally robust 1.8% surge. Among energy stocks, Valero Energy Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VLO#NYSE">VLO</a>) emerged as the leader of the pack, charting a substantial 4.5% gain for the day.
4. iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>)
The Russell 2000 index responded positively, notching a 0.6% daily gain. Nevertheless, the index has posted a 6.5% decline month-to-date, reflecting the small cap&#8217;s underperformance in comparison to other prominent indices.
The standout of the day is Cano Health, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CANO#NYSE">CANO</a>), soaring by an astonishing 46% within the day&#8217;s trading, despite having plummeted by as much as 85% during the preceding week.
5. Vanguard Growth ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VUG#NYSE">VUG</a>)
Mitigated concerns about the Federal Reserve potentially over-tightening sparked a surge in the growth segment, overshadowing its value counterpart.
The Vanguard Growth ETF surged by 1.1%, outperforming the Vanguard Value ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTV#NYSE">VTV</a>) which marked a more modest 0.7% increase.
Standing out among growth stocks is Workday Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WDAY#NASDAQ">WDAY</a>), achieving a noteworthy 6% gain, setting it apart from the competition.

Bulls Regain Momentum After Fed's Reassuring Start At Jackson Hole: 5 ETF Reactions

In recent weeks, value stocks have outperformed growth counterparts, proving to be a hedge <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/33889379/warren-buffett-michael-burry-waiting-for-stock-market-crash-rich-dad-poor-dad-author-says">against the market&#8217;s downturn.</a>
The Vanguard Value Index Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTV#NYSE">VTV</a>) has beaten the Vanguard Growth Index Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VUG#NYSE">VUG</a>) by 5% during the past month. The momentum shift comes as investors recalibrate their strategies amidst fluctuating market dynamics.
Growth equities, which are more sensitive to risk aversion and interest rates, have been hit more by the recent rise in U.S. Treasury yields. 
The combination of hawkish comments from the Fed, an acceleration of inflation in July, and higher-than-expected Treasury issuances this month has pushed up the costs of U.S. government debt to a level not seen since November 2007. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note is now at 4.34%.
Investors and analysts commonly utilize the 10-year Treasury yield as a gauge to discount the value of future cash flows for stocks. Higher Treasury yields negatively affect the value of those future cash flows, and vice versa, exerting downward pressure on growth stocks.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Value vs. Growth: Sector Standouts </h2>
The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) took the lead as the highest-performing sector in the previous month, boasting impressive gains of 5.5%. Its influence is prominently felt in the VTV portfolio, comprising over 7%, while in the VUG portfolio, it holds a modest 1.2% weight. 
On the flip side, the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>) faced a setback, plummeting by 5% over the past month. It&#8217;s joined in this performance dip by the Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLU#NYSE">XLU</a>) and the Real Estate Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLRE#NYSE">XLRE</a>).
Technology stocks cast a significant weight, exceeding 40%, in the Vanguard Growth ETF, but screen a more subdued presence of 9.4% within the Vanguard Value ETF.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Value vs. Growth: Stock Contributors</h2>
Now, let&#8217;s delve into the stocks driving this trend.
In the realm of the Vanguard Value Index Fund ETF, the most noteworthy positive contribution during the recent month comes from Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>), carrying a substantial 2.5% weight. In the same period, Marathon Oil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRO#NYSE">MRO</a>) and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/REGN#NASDAQ">REGN</a>) stand out with the most substantial returns, both up by 13%. 
However, the value spectrum witnessed its own share of challenges. Bank of America Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), and JP Morgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) grappled with notable declines, recording 9.7%, 5.8%, and 4.3% drops, respectively.
Turning to the Vanguard Growth Index Fund ETF, the past month&#8217;s primary boost came from Eli Lilly &amp; Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>), showing an impressive 19% surge. Alphabet Inc.

Value Stocks Outshine Growth Amidst Rising Treasury Yields: Key Sectors and Stocks Analyzed

The Bureau of Labor Statistics&#8217; long-awaited July Consumer Price Index (CPI) data is scheduled to be released on Thursday at 8:30 a.m., <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/08/33607832/what-economists-expect-when-key-inflation-data-arrives-thursday-as-market-looks-for">ahead of the opening bell.</a>
This critical economic data will have a significant impact on market expectations for future Fed rate hikes. Therefore, market fluctuations could be anticipated if inflation data surprises&nbsp;expectations.&nbsp;
Currently, there is widespread consensus around the Fed&#8217;s decision to keep rates unchanged in September, with a market-based probability standing at 85%, according to CME Group. The likelihood of rates staying unchanged also in the November meeting drops to 71%, still reflecting a substantial majority in this regard.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">July CPI Data: What Are Economists Expecting?</h2>
Economists anticipate that the annual inflation rate will rise from 3% to 3.3% in July, snapping a streak of 12 consecutive declines. This is mainly due to the so-called base effect, which Benzinga recently explained in an article where we also gathered some <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/23/08/33638208/us-inflation-preview-experts-anticipate-both-disinflation-progress-and-potential-">analysts&#8217; forecasts</a>.
Core inflation, which excludes energy and food and is closely monitored by the Fed to gauge underlying price pressures in the economy, is expected to remain steady at 4.8% year-over-year in July. Both inflation measures are projected to advance at a monthly rate of 0.2%.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">These 5 ETFs Could Heavily React To Inflation Data</h2>
Let&#8217;s focus on five exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that could experience significant fluctuations if tomorrow&#8217;s data differs from economists&#8217; expectations.
<ol>
<li>ProShares Trust VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VIXY#NYSE">VIXY</a>)</li>
</ol>
The VIXY ETF, designed to mirror the performance of the VIX Short-Term Futures Index, aims to offer investors a means to tap into volatility without engaging in direct options trading.
Higher-than-expected inflation can disrupt a market that largely believes the Fed will keep rates steady in September, thereby potentially increasing market volatility.
The VIXY ETF is down 55% year-to-date, but last week marked its second-best week of the year, surging by 12%.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="868" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/editorial.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/09113350/VIXY_2023-08-09_17-33-35_a9c80-1024x868.png" alt="" class="wp-image-84439" srcset="https://s3.amazonaws.com/editorial.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/09113350/VIXY_2023-08-09_17-33-35_a9c80-1024x868.png 1024w,https://s3.amazonaws.com/editorial.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/09113350/VIXY_2023-08-09_17-33-35_a9c80-300x254.png 300w,https://s3.amazonaws.com/editorial.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/09113350/VIXY_2023-08-09_17-33-35_a9c80-768x651.png 768w,https://s3.amazonaws.com/editorial.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/09113350/VIXY_2023-08-09_17-33-35_a9c80.png 1274w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
 2. Vanguard Growth ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VUG#NYSE">VUG</a>)
Growth stocks have been on the rise in 2023, with the Vanguard Growth ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VUG#NYSE">VUG</a>) up 35% year-to-date, the move higher has been closely linked to the decline in consumer inflation.
The drop in inflation has eased concerns of excessive hikes by the Federal Reserve, causing the market to start pricing in rate cuts for 2024. This has provided significant relief to stocks highly sensitive to future interest rates.
However, a resurgence in price pressures could potentially slow down or reverse the trajectory that growth stocks have been following thus far. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="868" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/editorial.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/09113949/VUG_2023-08-09_17-36-32_02d82-1024x868.png" alt="" class="wp-image-84440" srcset="https://s3.amazonaws.com/editorial.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/09113949/VUG_2023-08-09_17-36-32_02d82-1024x868.png 1024w,https://s3.amazonaws.com/editorial.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/09113949/VUG_2023-08-09_17-36-32_02d82-300x254.png 300w,https://s3.amazonaws.com/editorial.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/09113949/VUG_2023-08-09_17-36-32_02d82-768x651.png 768w,https://s3.amazonaws.com/editorial.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/09113949/VUG_2023-08-09_17-36-32_02d82.png 1274w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
3. ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARK#NYSE">ARK</a>)
Due to its investment focus on innovative and high-growth companies, particularly in sectors like technology, healthcare, and disruptive industries, the ARK Innovation ETF is also highly sensitive to inflation data and thus rate expectations. 
Many of Cathie Wood&#8216;s ARKK investments rely on borrowing to support their research, development, and expansion. Funding those activities becomes more expensive when interest rates rise, dampening the growth forecast for these companies. 
A reemergence of inflationary pressures could potentially place some downward pressure on the ARK Innovation ETF, which has returned 36% year to date.
4. Fidelity Stocks for Inflation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCPI#NYSE">FCPI</a>)
This ETF, launched and managed by Fidelity Management &amp; Research Company LLC, invests in stocks that may be better positioned to perform well during inflationary periods. 
Its largest holdings include Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and the oil giant Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>)
As inflation tumbled in 2023, the Fidelity Stocks for Inflation ETF trailed the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) by 7%. If inflation returns, we can anticipate this underperformance to come to a halt, if not reverse.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="830" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/editorial.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/09120015/FCPI_SPY_2023-08-09_17-58-00_8d737-1024x830.png" alt="" class="wp-image-84451" srcset="https://s3.amazonaws.com/editorial.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/09120015/FCPI_SPY_2023-08-09_17-58-00_8d737-1024x830.png 1024w,https://s3.amazonaws.com/editorial.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/09120015/FCPI_SPY_2023-08-09_17-58-00_8d737-300x243.png 300w,https://s3.amazonaws.com/editorial.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/09120015/FCPI_SPY_2023-08-09_17-58-00_8d737-768x622.png 768w,https://s3.amazonaws.com/editorial.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/09120015/FCPI_SPY_2023-08-09_17-58-00_8d737.png 1333w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
5. Simplify Interest Rate Hedge ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFIX#NYSE">PFIX</a>)
The ETF, operated by Simplify Asset Management Inc., engages in direct and derivative investments in various U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), and investment grade bonds with different maturity dates.
The primary objective of this ETF is to provide investors with a safeguard against potential increases in interest rates. Notably, during the period between March 14, 2022, and October 25, 2022, the Simplify Interest Rate Hedge ETF experienced a remarkable 100% increase in value. This gain was propelled by the Federal Reserve&#8217;s notably aggressive monetary policy tightening during that time.
Should inflation once again experience an upswing, the demand for instruments designed to hedge against interest rate fluctuations is also likely to surge.

Starting his investment journey in January, he&#8217;s already accumulated $120,174 across a brokerage and retirement account.
Hankwitz&#8217;s strategy is a mix of individual stocks and index funds. He believes index funds, like the S&amp;P 500, offer a &#8220;set-and-forget&#8221; approach, providing exposure to top US companies. 
&#8220;I think index-fund investing is the best way the everyday retail investor can begin building wealth for the future,&#8221; he stated. 
Among his top picks are the Vanguard 500 Index Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>), Vanguard Information Technology Index Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VGT#NYSE">VGT</a>), and Vanguard Growth Index Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VUG#NYSE">VUG</a>).

Stocks Rebound, Value Makes Comeback, Treasury Yields  Resume Climb: What's Driving Markets Monday?

U.S. large-cap value stocks have outperformed growth peers by a modest&nbsp;margin in July, potentially indicating a reversal of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-value-stocks">trend witnessed throughout 2023.</a>
The Vanguard Value ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTV#NYSE">VTV</a>), the largest and most liquid exchange traded fund investing in U.S. large-cap value stocks, has outperformed the Vanguard Growth ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VUG#NYSE">VUG</a>) by around 2 percentage points so far this month.
Despite the recent outperformance of value stocks over growth stocks, they are still trailing by approximately 22% for the year-to-date, erasing a significant part of the gains that value stocks achieved in 2022.
The strong rally of blue-chip companies within the Dow Jones Industrial Average index reflects the recent upswing observed in value stocks. The blue chips&rsquo; index posted its 12th straight profitable session on July 25, a feat that has only twice been accomplished since the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/23/07/33379276/dows-12-day-winning-streak-enters-record-books-in-rarity-seen-only-twice-post-wwii">end of World War II.</a>
In July, the Dow Jones Index, as closely tracked by the Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>), similarly outperformed the Nasdaq 100 index, represented by the Invesco QQQ Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NYSE">QQQ</a>).

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Major Contributors To The Value Rally</h2>
Financial stocks contributed significantly to the value&rsquo;s rally in July, as they hold a 20% weight in the VTV ETF&rsquo;s portfolio. Banks&nbsp;such as JP Morgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), Wells Fargo Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>), and The Charles Schwab Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHW#NYSE">SCHW</a>) delivered significant weighted returns ranging from 12% to 23%.
Stocks in the industrials and energy sectors, such as Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAT#NYSE">CAT</a>), General Electric Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>), Chevron Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), and ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>), also contributed favorably to the value outperformance.
Except for ConocoPhillips, which will report on Aug. 3, all of them beat Wall Street expectations both in terms of earnings per share (EPS) and revenues last quarter.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Value Investing In A Rising Rate Scenario: 3&nbsp;Stocks To Hedge Against Fed Uncertainty</h2>
The Federal Reserve is expected to announce a rate hike by 0.25% on Wednesday, pushing borrowing costs to a range between 5.25% and 5.5%, the highest since February 2001.
Much of the uncertainty revolves around whether the Fed will continue to raise interest rates this year, and how long it intends to keep rates elevated before cutting them.
In such an uncertain environment, some value stocks that demonstrated extreme resilience during the Fed&rsquo;s aggressive hikes last year and that show compelling valuations may provide an important hedge for investors.
1) The Kraft Heinz Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KHC#NYSE">KHC</a>)
The prospect of the Fed raising interest rates further or keeping them elevated for longer won&rsquo;t significantly deter people from adding sauces and condiments on their burgers.
Over the past three years, The Kraft Heinz Company has consistently exceeded Wall Street&rsquo;s earnings estimates each quarter, and the stock managed to surge 11% from March to the end of 2022, even amid broader risk-off sentiments in the market.
KHC stands out as an attractive value play during periods of market turmoil and Federal Reserve rate risks due to its elevated dividend yields (currently at 4.4%) and appealing cheap valuations (forward P/E ratio at 12x).
2) Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>)
Although oil prices usually fall when interest rates rise, the robustness of the U.S.&nbsp;economy has supported&nbsp;crude recently. The cost of a barrel of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude has increased by 13% in July, reaching nearly $80.
Exxon Mobil Corporation, the largest publicly traded oil and gas company in the United States, enjoys&nbsp;a very strong balance sheet and attractive valuations.
The company sits on a $32 billion cash reserve, shows a net debt-EBITDA ratio that is among the lowest in the markets&nbsp;(0.1x), and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) that are 100 times higher than the interest paid on&nbsp;debt.
3) Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>)
The U.S. defense and aerospace industry is almost insensitive to interest-rate risks.
In 2022, the stock market experienced its most challenging year since 2008, with the S&amp;P 500 declining by 20% due to the Federal Reserve&rsquo;s aggressive rate hikes. Despite this turbulent market environment, Lockheed Martin emerged as a standout performer, with its stock soaring by an impressive 37%.
Presently, Lockheed Martin remains an attractive value stock, supported by compelling valuations, with a forward P/E ratio at 16x. Additionally, the company maintains a solid financial position, further enhancing its appeal to investors seeking stability and growth in uncertain market conditions.

Value Stocks Defy Rate Hikes: 3 Blue Chips Showing Resilience In The Face Of Federal Reserve's Tightening

A team of quantitative equity analysts at Citigroup, led by Chris Montagu, has highlighted the continued importance of AI-related stocks in bolstering <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-growth-stocks" target="_blank">the growth equity style.</a>&nbsp;
These stocks, primarily consisting of mega-cap companies, are expected to provide further support during the final hiking cycle of the Federal Reserve, according to Montagu. The team maintains a bullish stance on growth equities while remaining bearish on value stocks in the near term. As of June 6, the Vanguard&nbsp;Growth ETF (ARCA: VUG) has outperformed the&nbsp;Vanguard Value ETF (ARCA: VTV) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/23/06/32674903/ai-tech-fuel-rebound-of-vanguard-growth-etf-eroding-values-2022-outperformance" target="_blank">by 28% year to date.</a>

Low Stock Participation Poses a Potential Risk
May has witnessed a low stock participation rate, indicating investor caution and presenting a potential risk going forward. This trend calls for careful consideration as market dynamics evolve.
Less than 50% of U.S. stocks ended May in positive territory.&quot;The old adage &#39;Sell in May&#39;&nbsp;may be a reasonable explanation for this, but the fact is that the low stock participation presents a risk going forward that investors should be mindful of,&quot; Montagu wrote in a note.
Investor Defensiveness Expected as Summer Approaches
As summer approaches, Citigroup&nbsp;analysts anticipate investors to maintain a defensive positioning, seeking stability through larger-cap equities as a hedge against uncertainties. The demand for safer and defensive equities is expected to persist, with a specific focus on classic defensive styles such as low-risk, quality, and large-cap stocks.

AI Stocks To Propel Growth, Summer Likely To Trigger Defensive Shift: Top Wall Street Analyst

The surge of artificial intelligence (AI),&nbsp;the supremacy&nbsp;of the internet giants and expectations of the Fed&#39;s tightening cycle nearing its end are propelling growth companies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-value-stocks" target="_blank">to outperform value stocks</a>.
The<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-growth-stocks" target="_blank"> growth equity style</a> has made a remarkable recovery in the first five months of 2023, after experiencing a setback in 2022 due to aggressive interest rate hikes that impacted tech and other overvalued sectors.
The Vanguard Growth ETF&nbsp;(ARCA: VUG) has outperformed the Vanguard Value ETF (ARCA: VTV) by a remarkable 29% so far this year. While the growth-oriented ETF has risen 26%, the value-oriented ETF has struggled, registering a 3% decline year to date.&nbsp;
Only a month&nbsp;ago, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/23/05/32397681/us-value-stocks-trail-growth-stocks-by-an-alarming-8-in-2023-why-is-the-value-style-underperform" target="_blank">performance gap between growth and value was about 8%</a>, which can offer an idea of how rapidly growth-related companies have surged&nbsp;in recent weeks.
<h3>Growth vs. Value in 2023</h3>
<img alt="" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/u1363475/vtv_2023-06-01_17-33-26_b1a6b.png" style="height:500px; width:100%" />
<h3>Value&#39;s 2022 Outperformance vs. Growth: Wiped Out in 5 Months</h3>
The roughly 50% gain that value stocks had over growth in 2022 was almost entirely wiped out by the growth&#39;s outperformance in the just&nbsp;five months of 2023.
Since the Great Financial Crisis, the consistent outperformance of growth&nbsp;versus value stocks has been a recurrent trend in the U.S.&nbsp;stock market. This tendency has been supported by a protracted period of very low interest rates, which has pushed up valuations&nbsp;in the technology and growth sectors while depressing stocks&nbsp;in&nbsp;value-related sectors.
The year 2022 looked to suggest a potential reversal of this pattern, with energy stocks rising sharply and technology-related stocks falling precipitously. However, this reversal was short-lived, as growth stocks reasserted their dominance in 2023, supported by a robust surge in AI and tech stocks.

AI, Tech Fuel Rebound Of Vanguard Growth ETF, Eroding Value's 2022 Outperformance

The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (ARCA: SPY) experienced an outstanding $18.1 billion in net inflows in May, the greatest flow performance since December 2021, when the fund received $25.6 billion, according to Koyfin data.
The ETF is the world&#39;s biggest with approximately $400 billion in assets under management.
The influx into the largest ETF tracking the S&amp;P 500 index corresponded with a remarkable rise in AI-related stocks and the rising dominance of tech giants among the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SPY/news" target="_blank">500 most capitalized U.S. firms</a>.&nbsp;
Tech Supremacy: The technology and communication services sectors account for around 37% of the total S&amp;P 500 index. Within this niche, the combined weight&nbsp;of five tech titans&nbsp;accounts&nbsp;for around 25% of the index:&nbsp;Apple&nbsp;Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aapl#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) at 7.9%, Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/msft#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) at 7%, Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/goog#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/googl#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) at 3.9%, Amazon.com,&nbsp;Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amzn#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) at 3.1%, and NVIDIA Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nvda#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) at 2.7%. An equally weighted portfolio made up of these five S&amp;P 500&nbsp;heavyweights would have gained 62% so far in 2023, compared to the 9.7% performance of the market.&nbsp;
As these stocks gathered speed and rose in relative weight, investors seized the opportunity to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence" target="_blank">profit from a potential AI boom.</a>
Other ETFs Flows To Know: The Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qqq#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), the biggest ETF tracking the Nasdaq 100 index, witnessed $1.8 billion in net inflows last month, the best monthly performance so far in 2023.&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>The SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (ARCA: DIA) recorded $232 million in net inflows last month, following five consecutive months of outflows.&nbsp;</li>
<li>The SPDR Gold Trust&nbsp;(ARCA: GLD), printed $873 million in net inflows in May, the highest since March 2022.&nbsp;</li>

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
In an era of market crashes and booms, strong buy ETFs are now a go-to option for many investors. Exchange-traded funds offer a compelling case to combat market risks by investing in a broad range of stocks instead of an individual asset. This, in turn, provides diversification, liquidity and cost-efficiency for risk-averse investors. 



In recent years, we&rsquo;ve witnessed substantial growth in the ETF market. In 2023, the ETF industry <a href="https://www.invesco.com/apac/en/institutional/insights/etf/whats-driving-growth-in-the-etf-industry.html#:~:text=In%202023%2C%20the%20ETF%20industry,annual%20growth%20rate%20of%2019.3%25.">managed $11 trillion in assets</a> globally with a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.3%. Experts predict this value will reach $20 trillion by 2028. The demand is driven by a growing appetite for passive investment strategies and advancements in blockchain technology that allow for greater customization.



Given the popularity of ETFs, it should come as no surprise that investors have thousands of options to choose from. Narrowing down the right investment depends on factors such as the industry, price and return. And while everyone has their own unique preferences, I&rsquo;ve narrowed down three broad-range, well-managed strong buy ETFs to add value to your portfolio.



<h2>Vanguard Growth ETF (VUG)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/vanguard1600-1-300x169.jpg" alt="vanguard website displayed on a mobile phone screen representing vanguard etfs"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>Investing in large-cap <a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-types/growth-stocks/">growth stocks</a> in the U.S. equity market is an expensive and risky undertaking. The Vanguard Growth ETF (NYSEARCA:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/vug-stock-quote/">VUG</a>) helps combat these downsides by providing a cheaper alternative for investors looking to add large-cap exposure to their portfolios. 



Sponsored by the investment firm Vanguard, this ETF passively <a href="https://advisors.vanguard.com/investments/products/vug/vanguard-growth-etf#overview">manages $125 billion in assets</a> with year-to-date returns of 20.3%. The ETF trades at $373.39, making it a low-cost option to invest in large companies.



Large-cap typically refers to companies with a market capitalization of over $10 billion. These stocks have higher growth rates and tend to perform well in a bull market. They are also less riskier than small-cap stocks, making them a safe bet.



The Vanguard Growth ETF provides exposure to the top large-cap stocks, with a majority of the portfolio comprising technology and consumer stocks. Moreover, the fund is one of the more economical ETFs on the market, with an annual operating expense ratio of 0.04%.



Given the strong exposure this fund provides, the Vanguard Growth ETF is highly rated, with 171 analysts giving this ETF a <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/etf/vug/forecast">Strong Buy consensus.</a>



<h2>VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH)</h2>



<a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/vaneck-1.jpg"><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/vaneck-1-300x169.jpg" alt="VanEck Morningstar SMID Picks"></a>The dominance of <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/technology/semiconductor/">semiconductor stocks</a> has left investors with too many options to choose from. Thankfully, strong buy ETFs provide a viable alternative. The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/smh-stock-quote/">SMH</a>) is ideal for investors looking to gain more exposure to semiconductor companies. This fund manages 26 semiconductor companies, with Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nvda-stock-quote/">NVDA</a>) holding the largest position at 20.13%. Other names include Qualcomm (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/qcom-stock-quote/">QCOM</a>) and Intel (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/i%EF%BF%BCntc-stock-quote/">INTC</a>).



The VanEck Semiconductor ETF is an investor favorite for several reasons. Total net assets in the fund <a href="https://www.vaneck.com/us/en/investments/semiconductor-etf-smh/overview/">amount to $24.8 billion,</a> with year-to-date (YTD) returns of a whopping 51.41%. This growth can be attributed to the positive investor sentiment and explosive growth in several semiconductor companies this year. The semiconductor ETF also operates at a low expense ratio of 0.35%.



Hence, it should come as no surprise that analysts are bullish on the VanEck Semiconductor ETF. The fund has a <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/etf/smh/forecast">Strong Buy consensus</a> based on 21 analyst ratings and a high price target of $773.70. That&rsquo;s some major upside potential, given the ETF is currently trading at $264.89.



<h2>iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF (IWF)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/etf-pushpin-1600-300x169.jpg" alt='close-up of the phrase "exchange traded fund" on three colorful papers pinned to a wall by colorful pushpins'><div>Source: shutterstock.com/bangoland</div></div>The iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF (NYSEARCA:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/iwf-stock-quote/">IWF</a>) is a good option for investors seeking a broader exposure to large and mid-cap growth stocks. This ETF is a part of the Russell 1000 Index, which includes the top 1,000 publicly traded companies on the stock exchange. The growth ETF, however, focuses only on the companies that show promising signs of long-term returns. It currently <a href="https://www.ishares.com/us/products/239706/ishares-russell-1000-growth-etf">invests in 439 companies</a> across a number of industries.



When it comes to investing in assets with safe returns, large-cap stocks tend to provide the most utility. Thus, iShares Russell Growth ETF&rsquo;s emphasis on prominent large-cap stocks adds an extra layer of insulation from market volatility. Unsurprisingly, this ETF remains one of the most popular options amongst investors, with $96 billion in assets under management at a low expense ratio of 0.19%.



Analyst ratings mirror the positive sentiments towards the iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF. The fund is currently among the top Strong Buy ETFs <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/etf/iwf/forecast">based on 351 analyst ratings.</a>

탄탄한 수익 성장, 높은 가치 평가, 강력한 혁신 잠재력을 특징으로 하는 성장 주식에 초점을 맞춘 상장지수펀드(ETF)는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">6월에 자금 유입</a>이 증가했다.
성장연계 펀드에 대한 관심의 급증은 기술 부문에 대한 투자자의 신뢰 증가와 인공 지능(AI)과 같은 파괴적인 혁신을 반영하여 가치주에 비해 성장주의 상당한 성과와 일치했다.
운용자산(AUM) 기준으로 가장 큰 8개 성장연계 ETF는 이달 초부터 6월 24일까지 총 122억 달러 상당의 자금이 유입되었다.
선두를 달리고 있는 뱅가드 성장 ETF(Vanguard Growth ETF)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VUG#NYSE">VUG</a>)는 ETF 동종 업계 중 가장 높은 월별 유입을 기록하며 인상적인 56억 8천만 달러를 유치했다. 이 놀라운 수치는 Vanguard Growth ETF의 월간 최고 유입으로 기록될 예정이며, 6월에는 iShares Core S&amp;P 500 ETF(NYE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVV#NYSE">IVV</a>)가 유치한 약 100억 달러에 이어 2위를 차지했다.

</ul>

혼합 현실 비전 프로(Vision Pro) 헤드셋의 시장 성공을 높이기 위해 애플(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>)은 지원되는 애플리케이션 목록에 중국 최대 온라인 소매업체 두 곳을 추가했다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 가격이 3,500달러인 비전 프로 헤드셋은 이제 알리바바 그룹 홀딩스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>)와 JD닷컴(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>)의 기본 앱에서 지원될 것이라고 <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-06-24/apple-adds-alibaba-jd-to-list-of-vision-pro-apps-for-china">블룸버그</a>가 금요일 보도했다. 해당 앱은 샤오미 자동차 가상 시승, 메이크업 시뮬레이션 등 다양한 기능을 제공할 예정이다.
앱 지원은 넷플릭스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>)가 맞춤형 앱 제작을 중단하면서 미국에서 순조로운 출발을 보인 비전 프로의 성공에 중요한 것으로 간주된다.
6월 28일 중국, 일본, 싱가포르에 출시 예정인 이 헤드셋은 해외 시장에서 수입 제품에 비해 상당한 판매 프리미엄을 보였지만 아직까지 큰 판매를 창출하지 못했다.
애플 주식은 지난 12개월 동안 거의 12% 상승했다. 투자자들은 Vanguard Growth ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VUG#NYSE">VUG</a>)와 Vanguard Information Tech ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VGT#NYSE">VGT</a>)를 통해 주식에 노출될 수 있다.
중요성 (Why It Matters): 비전 프로 헤드셋을 통해 애플이 중국 시장에 진출하는 데는 몇 가지 어려움이 따른다. 이 회사는 엄격한 규제와 화웨이와 같은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/06/39425871/apples-ai-push-encounters-obstacles-in-china-with-stricter-regulations-and-local-co" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">현지 기업들의 경쟁 심화</a>로 인해 중국에서 인공 지능 추진에 장애물에 직면해 왔다.
또한 애플은 보다 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39449011/apple-struggling-to-create-its-cheaper-vision-pro-model-says-expert-its-dealing-with-some-difficult">저렴한</a> 비전 프로 버전을 개발하는 데 어려움을 겪고 있는 것으로 알려졌다. 높은 가격표와 주류 매력의 부족으로 인해 비전 프로의 로드맵이 재평가되었다. 이 회사는 다양한 가격대의 다양한 장치를 출시하여 헤드셋의 접근성을 높이는 것을 목표로 한다.
애플은 또한 중국에서 판매되는 자사 기기에 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/06/39434301/apples-ai-strategy-faces-hurdles-in-china-talks-with-local-firms-are-ongoing" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">AI 기능을 통합</a>하기 위해 바이두 및 알리바바를 포함한 여러 중국 회사들과 지속적인 논의를 진행하고 있다. 이는 복잡한 규제 환경을 헤쳐나가고 이 지역에서 제품 제공을 강화하려는애플 전략의 일부이다.

수익성 있는 투자 기회를 찾아 헤매던 중, 레딧의 r/stocks 커뮤니티의 청년 투자자들이 대중의 지혜를 활용하기 시작했다. werewere223은 &#8220;내 나이 때문에 내가 조금 오랜 기간 투자를 할 수 있어, 그리고 지금 당장 성장에 초점을 맞추고 싶어&#8221;라고 말하며 성장주를 고려하고자 레딧 커뮤니티의 다른 투자자들과 대화를 시작했다.

다음은 레딧 커뮤니티를 통해 나온 최고의 성장주
여기 레딧 커뮤니티의 최고의 성장주들이다:
<ol>
<li>플루언스 에너지 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLNC#NASDAQ">FLNC</a>): 레딧 사용자 8000000MadeinMarket는 FLNC를 추천했다. FLNC는 에너지 저장 분야의 선도 기업으로, 유망한 성장 궤도를 보여주고 있다. 강력한 분기별 성장, 충분한 계약 백로그, 그리고 분석가들의 낙관적인 전망으로 보아 투자자들에게 장기적인 성장 기회를 제공할 것으로 예상된다.</li>
<li>팔란티어 테크놀로지스 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>): 레딧터 NeonDr33mer이 PLTR을 중점적으로 언급했는데, 이는 데이터 분석 및 소프트웨어 솔루션을 제공하고 있다. 기술 분야에서 핵심적인 역할을 하는 PLTR은 앞으로 몇 년 동안 규모가 큰 성장 가능성을 제공할 것으로 보인다.</li>
<li>엔비디아 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>): 레딧 사용자 tomato119는 NVDA를 추천했는데, 이는 반도체 산업에서 지배적인 입지를 가지고 있기 때문이다. 혁신적인 기술과 시장 선도력을 통해 NVDA는 변화하는 기술 분야에서 계속해서 성공할 수 있는 포지션을 차지하고 있다.</li>
</ol>
이 세 가지 주식이 주목받았지만, 다른 사용자들로부터도 레딧 커뮤니티에는 주목할만한 다른 주식들도 있었다. 기능성 음료 분야의 글로벌 리더 기업인 셀시우스 홀딩스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CELH#NASDAQ">CELH</a>)와 핀테크 파괴자 기업인 소파이 테크놀로지스 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOFI#NASDAQ">SOFI</a>)이다. 이들은 성장을 원하는 투자자들을 위한 추가적인 기회를 제공한다.
뿐만 아니라 레딧 사용자 Jeffh19는 성장을 중심으로 한 ETF에 대한 고려도 제시했는데, 예를 들어 Vanguard Growth ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VUG#NYSE">VUG</a>), Vanguard Information Technology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VGT#NYSE">VGT</a>), 그리고 Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQM#NYSE">QQQM</a>)가 있으며, 이는 빠르게 성장하는 분야의 다양한 투자 기회를 제공할 것이다.
투자자들이 다이내믹한 시장 여건을 탐색하는 동안, 2024년 이후 성장을 위한 잠재적인 기회에 대한 유용한 정보를 제공하는 것이 이러한 최고의 선정종목과 ETF 추천이다.
