CleaRank AI analysis of IYW
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
The price of IYW sits between its two moving averages: at $251.24, it is 10.69% above the 200-day average ($226.99) and 2.22% below the 50-day average ($256.94). At 77% of its 52-week range, the price is 8.45% below the 52-week high of $274.44. The 50-day average itself is 13.20% above the 200-day average.
On momentum, the 14-day RSI reads 35.0, in the bearish zone, above the oversold line, although the MACD line is positive, which pulls the other way. The price is up over each of these periods: 0.44% over the past month, 5.02% over the past three months and 27.87% over the past year.
- Keep an eye on the two closest levels: the 50-day SMA, which sits at $256.94 above the price, and the 200-day SMA, found at $226.99 below it.
- The 14-day RSI reads 35.0, in the bearish zone, with the MACD line positive; readings above 70 or below 30 mark stretched momentum.
- Costs compound: at 0.37% a year, IYW charges $37.00 on every $10,000 invested.
IYW is in a mixed trend. The price holds above its 200-day average of $226.99 but sits below its 50-day average of $256.94. If the price closes above the 50-day, both signals would turn up. If it closes below the 200-day, both would turn down. For now the price is caught between the 200-day SMA ($226.99) below and the 50-day SMA ($256.94) above.

Long-term scenarios
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 IYW, 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 IYW today could grow to about $27,851 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $78,345 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $9,901. The simulation models price only; at today's 0.09% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
IYW 2030 Scenarios (Monte Carlo)
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $378 for IYW by 2030 in the base case, from $251 today (1.5x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $197. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on IYW's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
| Year | 10th percentile | Base case | 90th percentile | range base today |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | $201 | $278 | $386 | |
| 2028 | $194 | $308 | $490 | |
