Prediction: SOXX Will Continue to Outperform SMH. Here's Why.
SOXX semiconductor ETF is outperforming SMH by 16.54 percentage points YTD due to its more balanced portfolio structure. While SMH concentrates over 30% in its top two holdings, SOXX keeps no single stock above 9%, reducing risk and positioning it better to benefit from broad chip industry growth while limiting downside if major players stumble.
