SOXX tracks a modified market-cap-weighted index of 30 US-listed semiconductor companies.

SOXX has historically lagged SMH in performance but has less risk from concentration and geopolitical exposure. As SOXX's weighting is more appropriate, investors are better isolated against potential risks materializing. With a fair representation of the sector, I rate SOXX a buy on strong long-term industry tailwinds.

SOXX: Proportional Semiconductor Exposure Should Result In Good Risk-Adjusted Returns

The semiconductor industry is at the center of the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution. Chip companies like Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices are leading the way when it comes to AI.

The semiconductor sector has been badly beaten down in the latest market rout. A spate of weaker-than-expected earnings reports from well-known players in the space also dampened confidence.

Semiconductor ETFs Bear the Brunt of Market Rout

The iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) dropped nearly 3% on Wednesday amid heightened volatility within the chip sector after Monday's global stock market selloff. This week's decline coincided with a report that artificial intelligence (AI) darling Nvidia's (NVDA) highly anticipated Blackwell chips would be delayed by at least three months.

Earnings season will determine if one-year gains of 45% and a PE ratio of 36 in iShares Semiconductor ETF are justified. SOXX has made its largest drop since April, likely caused by de-risking ahead of earnings season. SOXX is at risk from semiconductor earnings and also the announcements on CapEx from mega-cap tech companies.

In April, I expected tech and AI to be in a correction by June - so far, right on track. Evidence in July shows Nvidia, AMD, Qualcomm, and Micron in corrective structures, while other names like Meta Platforms are joining their hardware brethren. Overall, AI has begun a correction, and it may last for a few months, with bounces along the way.

Beyond AI, Semiconductor ETFs Have Another Reason to Rally

The iShares Semiconductor ETF tracks semiconductor sector performance with major holdings like Broadcom, Nvidia, and AMD. SOXX has underperformed its benchmark, has a higher expense ratio, and faces tracking error issues due to high volatility in the semiconductor sector. Investors may find better opportunities in other ETFs with lower costs and more efficient tracking for long-term growth and sector exposure.

SOXX: Inefficient Fund With Tracking Error

The iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) slumped 7% on Wednesday as investors locked in profits amid growing concerns that chipmakers will face heightened U.S. trade restrictions and geopolitical tensions, irrespective of which candidate wins the November presidential election.
