This is based on 16 Bullish, six Neutral, and zero Bearish signals. Latest Update on QQQ ETF The QQQ ETF’s impressive year-to-date rally of over 41% can be largely attributed to the substantial increase in stock prices of the top seven technology companies. These companies include Microsoft ( MSFT ), Apple ( AAPL ), Nvidia ( NVDA ), Amazon ( AMZN ), Tesla ( TSLA ), Meta ( META ), and Alphabet ( GOOGL ) ( GOOG ). Together, these stocks account for more than 55% of the holdings in the QQQ ETF. It is important to note that Nasdaq ( NDAQ ) has scheduled a special rebalance of the Nasdaq 100 Index before the market opens on July 24. The purpose of this rebalance is to mitigate the issue of overconcentration in the index by reducing the combined weight of these seven giants. According to the index’s methodology, it is expected that the total weighting of these stocks will decrease by between 6% to 8%. Furthermore, The Trade Desk ( TTD ) will be added to the Nasdaq 100 prior to the market opening on July 17, 2023. TTD will be replacing Activision Blizzard ( ATVI ), which is set to be acquired by MSFT. Is QQQ a Good ETF to Invest In? As per 1,214  top Wall Street analysts providing ratings on the  QQQ’s 102 holdings, the ETF comes in as a Moderate Buy, and the average QQQ price target of $392.47 implies 5.3% upside potential. It is noteworthy that these top analysts have an impressive history of helping investors generate massive returns from their recommendations. Moreover, according to TipRanks’ Smart Score System, QQQ stock has a Smart Score of 8 out of 10, which indicates that it could outperform the broader market over the long term. Disclosure
