Investing in the future: ETF themes based around AI, robotics
Artificial intelligence and robotics are ever-expanding industries, with new research and innovations coming out every day and major companies competing to get the next and best new tech. What are the best ways to begin investing into the space? As part of Yahoo Finance's Robotics Week: Investing in Tomorrow special, BlackRock US Head of Thematic and Active ETFs Jay Jacobs sits down with Julie Hyman and Josh Schafer to talk about how investor portfolios can gain exposure to this next generation of technology. "We're looking to provide exposure across the value chain of pure-play artificial intelligence companies. That includes everything from generative AI model developers to artificial intelligence infrastructure, software and data, as well as artificial intelligence hardware... think semiconductors," Jacobs tells Yahoo Finance. "The idea is that as you see more adoption of artificial intelligence, more use cases that are being put to work... we would expect more adoption of artificial intelligence to ultimately lift this basket of stocks. That is the idea behind really trying to be very, very specific about what is the value chain of artificial intelligence BlackRock manages a variety of exchange-traded funds, including the iShares Future AI & Tech ETF (ARTY) and iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX).

Chip stock sell-off opens door for long-term plays: Analyst
Chip stocks continue their sector-wide slide, following a tech sell-off triggered by disappointing reports from some Magnificent 7 companies. Moor Insights & Strategy founder, CEO, and chief analyst Patrick Moorhead joins Morning Brief to discuss the semiconductor industry's current state. Moorhead observes that due to the chip sector's strong momentum over the past year, "any hiccup, any rumor of something" can trigger a stock decline. He suggests this downturn presents an opportunity for investors to identify potential high-growth companies beyond industry giants like Nvidia (NVDA), Broadcom (AVGO), and Intel (INTC). Moorhead advises investors to "look at a mid-term and even... long-term approach of where those stocks are going or could go," highlighting companies such as Qualcomm (QCOM). Regarding industry trends, Moorhead notes that many companies are pivoting towards AI, often at the expense of other initiatives. "They want their IT groups to pivot to generative AI. And a lot of this is about FOMO, it's the fear of missing out," he explains. This shift in focus is creating a divide in the market: "That's why you see companies that aren't engaged in the generative AI wave are seeing very mixed results."
