The Global X Cybersecurity ETF focuses on stocks that generate over half of their revenue from cybersecurity operations. Palo Alto Networks' latest earnings event has been instrumental in driving weakness in BUG, and commentary from the event could have ramifications for the broader industry. We highlight why BUG's portfolio of predominantly small- and micro-cap cybersecurity names may not be the most optimal route to playing this theme.

BUG: Not The Most Optimal Portfolio, Look Elsewhere

The competition dynamics in the cybersecurity industry are changing as large cloud service providers like Microsoft and Google now propose AI-based threat protection integrated within their products. At the same time Palo Alto, one of the GlobalX ETF's top holdings has seen its stock tumble after providing weak guidance. Thus, this is not a buy-the-dip opportunity due to emerging sources of competitive threats for pure-play service providers or those whose principal business consists of providing cybersecurity services.

BUG ETF holds 23 cybersecurity stocks with a consensus-weighted upside of 13%. The ETF has a 28% EPS CAGR valued at 47x PE. BUG has slightly underperformed the Nasdaq Composite since YE20, up 49%.

BUG With Potential 13% Upside

I continue to be bullish on the global cybersecurity market and the leading companies that operate in that space. However, it is time to acknowledge that the BUG cybersecurity ETF is simply not working as a "growth" investment. Indeed, over the past year, the BUG ETF has significantly lagged technology sector as a whole and has even trailed the returns of the S&P 500 by a wide margin.

BUG: This Cybersecurity ETF Is Simply Not Working

Cybersecurity continues to be one of the fastest-growing market sectors. According to Fortune Business Insights, the global cybersecurity market should grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.8% between now and 2030.
