Phase 1

Tuesday, May 26, 2020 - All three major indexes gained at least 3% this week, in part driven by optimism that coronavirus vaccines will be available later this year. Additionally, all 50 states have relaxed some of their coronavirus restrictions, stirring hopes about an economic rebound as municipalities start to reopen. The S&P 500 and Dow added 3.2% and 3.3%, respectively, for the week, while the Nasdaq climbed 3.4%.

ETFG Equity Exposure Report - For the first quarter, Nvidia posted adjusted EPS of $1.80, which beat expectations comfortably and reflected earnings growth of 105%. Revenue grew 38.7% year-over-year, landing at $3.08 billion, also ahead of consensus. Looking inside the numbers, Gaming revenue grew 27% to $1.34 billion, while the Data Center simply exploded in the pandemic impacted environment, up 80% to $1.14 billion. Moving toward the smaller business segments, Professional Visualization increased 15% to $307 million, and some of the same forces that propelled demand for Data Center services negatively impacted demand for the Automotive space. That line contracted 7% to $155 million. The ETFs weighted most heavily with Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) stock are the Global X Funds Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF (BOTZ), the ProShares Ultra Semiconductors (USD), the VanEck Vectors Video Gaming and eSports ETF (ESPO) and the VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF (SMH).
