What the numbers say

CleaRank Financial AI's reading of IEO's holdings, performance and risks.

The fund

IEO is an Equity Energy fund from iShares that was launched on May 1, 2006. Energy is the largest holding, making up 99.1% of the fund, and Basic Materials comes second at 1.0%. Because nearly the entire portfolio sits in one sector, IEO tends to move in step with that sector, up or down.

Each year the expense ratio of 0.37% costs $37.00 on a $10,000 holding. The fund's net assets come to $731.9M, and its distribution yield is 1.66%. Portfolio turnover stands at 24%.

Key risks

Daily swings are the first thing to plan around. On an average session, IEO has moved 1.71%. Concentration is the other issue: Energy makes up 99.1% of the fund, so any setback in that sector would land on nearly the whole portfolio.

What the AI sees

IEO, the iShares U.S. Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF, remains in an uptrend with the price at $153.07. That price sits 9.19% above its 50-day average of $140.18 and 27.17% above its 200-day average of $120.36. The price is 0.60% below the 52-week high of $153.99, which means it sits at 99% of its 52-week range. Meanwhile, the 50-day average is 16.46% above the 200-day average.

On momentum, the 14-day RSI reads 68.5, in the bullish zone, below the overbought line, with the MACD line positive. The recent returns all show a gain, with the price up 26.16% over the past three months, 31.22% over the past six months and 70.32% over the past year. The price rose 1.40% in the last session on volume 45.8% below its average.

ProTips
  1. Two levels matter most right now: the 52-week high at $153.99, which sits above the price, and the 20-day EMA at $146.14, which sits below it.
  2. The 14-day RSI reads 68.5, in the bullish zone, with the MACD line positive; readings above 70 or below 30 mark stretched momentum.
  3. Fees add up over time. IEO's expense ratio of 0.37% a year equals $37.00 on every $10,000 invested.
Market outlook

IEO trades above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages ($140.18 and $120.36), which is what makes the trend up; losing the 50-day would be the first warning. The nearest level under the price is the 20-day EMA at $146.14.

The next level overhead is the 52-week high at $153.99. The RSI is in the bullish band, which backs the current direction, though it is near the overbought line.
