What the numbers say

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

The fund

iShares U.S. Technology ETF (IYW) is led by Technology, which makes up 90.9% of the fund, followed by Communication Services at 8.4%. Almost the whole fund is in that one sector, so IYW rises and falls with it. IYW is a Technology fund from iShares, launched on May 15, 2000.

Each year the expense ratio of 0.37% works out to $37.00 on a $10,000 holding. The fund has net assets of $26.5B, a distribution yield of 0.09%, and portfolio turnover of 15%.

Key risks

IYW has moved 1.45% on an average session, so day-to-day swings are the first thing an investor should weigh. Concentration is the second. With Technology at 90.9% of the fund, any setback in that sector would land on nearly the entire portfolio.

What the AI sees

At $242.67, IYW is caught between its two moving averages. The price sits 5.71% above the 200-day average of $229.57, yet 5.59% below the 50-day average of $257.04. That 50-day average is in turn 11.97% above the 200-day one. Across the 52-week range, which runs from $172.54 up to $274.44, today's price stands at 69% of the distance.

A recent pullback sits inside a stronger longer record: the price fell 8.39% over the past month, rose 1.95% over the past three months and rose 16.75% over the past year. On momentum, the 14-day RSI reads 34.4, in the bearish zone, above the oversold line, with the MACD line negative. The price fell 4.33% in the last session on volume 179.6% above its average.

ProTips
  1. Two levels deserve attention. The 20-day EMA sits at $256.04, just above the price, and the 200-day SMA sits at $229.57, below it.
  2. The 14-day RSI reads 34.4, in the bearish zone, with the MACD line negative; readings above 70 or below 30 mark stretched momentum.
  3. Costs compound: at 0.37% a year, IYW charges $37.00 on every $10,000 invested.
Market outlook

IYW is in a mixed trend. The price holds above its 200-day average of $229.57 but sits under its 50-day average of $257.04. If the price closes above the 50-day, both signals would point up; a close below the 200-day would point both down. For now the price is wedged between the 200-day SMA ($229.57) below and the 20-day EMA ($256.04) above.
