SHOC: A Buy For Risk-Tolerant Growth Investors

Strive U.S. Semiconductor ETF earns a buy rating for its concentrated exposure to top-performing U.S. semiconductor companies with accelerating growth. SHOC's portfolio is heavily weighted toward Nvidia and Broadcom, both benefiting from AI and data center tailwinds, but lacks exposure to TSM. Despite a competitive 0.40% expense ratio, SHOC trades at a higher P/E and P/B versus peers due to recent outperformance.

SHOC: A High Conviction, Low Profile Bet On Semis

Strive U.S. Semiconductor ETF matches SOXX's performance, despite lower AUM, higher fees, and less popularity, making it a compelling, but overlooked semiconductor ETF. SHOC's concentrated portfolio, especially its heavy Nvidia weighting, aligns with my bullish view on Nvidia's AI-driven growth, despite some allocation concerns. Performance data shows SHOC consistently outperforms SOXX marginally, justifying a Buy rating, though its success is highly tied to Nvidia's continued dominance.
