CleaRank AI analysis of COWZ
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
Pacer US Cash Cows 100 ETF (COWZ) remains in an upward trend, with the price at $71.78. That price sits 2.73% above its 50-day average of $69.87 and 10.14% above its 200-day average of $65.17. The price is 1.02% below the 52-week high of $72.52, which places it at 95% of its 52-week range. Because the 50-day average is 7.22% above the 200-day average, the shorter-term trend is pulling ahead of the longer one.
On momentum, the 14-day RSI reads 70.3, in overbought territory, with the MACD line positive. Every period on the chart shows a gain, with the price up 12.74% over the past three months, 14.24% over the past six months and 24.49% over the past year.
- Two levels deserve the most attention: the 52-week high at $72.52, which sits above the price, and the 50-day SMA at $69.87, which sits below it.
- A 14-day RSI of 70.3 places the fund in the overbought zone, and the MACD line is positive. Readings above 70 or below 30 point to momentum that may be stretched.
- Costs compound: at 0.49% a year, COWZ charges $49.00 on every $10,000 invested.
COWZ trades above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages ($69.87 and $65.17), which is what makes the trend up; losing the 50-day would be the first warning. The nearest level under the price is the 50-day SMA at $69.87.
The next level overhead for COWZ is the 52-week high at $72.52. The RSI is in overbought territory, so a pause in the rise would not on its own end the trend. A slide back out of the bullish zone would be the sign that momentum is fading.

Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in COWZ, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 10-year Monte Carlo simulation projects that a $10,000 investment in COWZ today could grow to about $22,040 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $49,340 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $9,846. The simulation models price only; at today's 2.04% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
COWZ 2030 Scenarios (Monte Carlo)
The same simulation in prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $98.47 for COWZ by 2030 in the base case, from $71.78 today (1.4x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $59.15. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on COWZ's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
