What the numbers say

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

The fund

QQQ is led by Technology, which makes up 60.3% of the fund, followed by Communication Services at 12.6% and Consumer Cyclical at 10.1%. With more than half in one sector, QQQ moves with that sector more than a broadly spread fund would. QQQ is a Large Growth fund from Invesco, launched on March 10, 1999.

Fees are the fund's yearly cost to hold it. The expense ratio is 0.18%, or $18.00 a year on a $10,000 holding. Net assets come to $498.9B, the distribution yield is 0.42%, and portfolio turnover is 8%.

Key risks

Concentration matters here: Technology makes up 60.3% of the fund, so a setback in that sector would weigh on the whole. On a typical day the price of QQQ shifts by 1.07%, the 30-day standard deviation of its daily returns.

What the AI sees

Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (QQQ) is trading between its two moving averages. The price of $725.20 is 7.20% above the 200-day average of $676.49, yet 0.21% below the 50-day average of $726.75. The price sits at 82% of its 52-week range and is 4.94% below the 52-week high of $762.86. The 50-day average is 7.43% above the 200-day average, and that gap would shrink if the price keeps trading under the shorter average.

The recent pullback sits within a longer record that is still stronger. Over the past month the price slipped 2.19%, while it gained 2.81% over three months and 18.62% over the past year. Momentum is more subdued: the 14-day RSI stands at 46.0, which is neutral territory, and the MACD line is negative.

ProTips
  1. The two closest levels to watch are the 50-day SMA, sitting at $726.75 above the price, and the 200-day SMA, at $676.49 below it.
  2. The 14-day RSI reads 46.0, in the neutral zone, with the MACD line negative; readings above 70 or below 30 mark stretched momentum.
  3. Fees add up over time. QQQ's 0.18% annual expense ratio works out to $18.00 on every $10,000 invested each year.
Market outlook

The trend is mixed: QQQ is above its 200-day average at $676.49 but below its 50-day average at $726.75. A close above the 50-day would turn both signals up, and a close below the 200-day would turn both down. In the meantime the price sits between the 200-day SMA ($676.49) underneath and the 50-day SMA ($726.75) overhead.

The 14-day RSI of 46.0 sits in neutral territory, in the 40 to 60 band.

CleaRank's 10-year Monte Carlo simulation projects that a $10,000 investment in QQQ today could grow to about $26,425 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $66,101 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $10,564 (above the amount invested: over ten years most simulated paths of a rising, moderately volatile asset end higher). The simulation models price only; at today's 0.42% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
