New Chinese AI Model Kimi K3 is raising questions for established players. Investors are questioning whether AI industry still has pricing power.

Global X FinTech ETF (FINX) could has attractive valuations after a 20% decline, with a potential discounts to tech indices. FINX's portfolio is concentrated in payment processors and crypto-linked stocks, exposing it to cyclical and high-beta risks, yet also potential upside. I see three catalysts: valuation compression, correlation with BTC, and potential peak in US Treasury yields supporting a tactical BUY rating.

Stripe and Advent have made a $53B bid for PayPal, lifting PYPL shares and putting fintech ETFs like PYPU, FINX and IPAY in the spotlight.

A perfect storm of factors may have led to an unusual selloff in the AI space in June, providing investors with a unique opportunity to buy in before growth resumes in earnest. Between expectations that the Fed would maintain or raise rates, unexpectedly soft semiconductor earnings and guidance, and a strong jobs report, investors suddenly found themselves reconsidering whether some of the more speculative plays in the AI space were worth the risk.

Ransomware payouts, supply‑chain breaches, and state‑backed attacks have pushed cybersecurity spending into the category of must‑have corporate expenses rather than optional upgrades.

FINX is down nearly 17% this year while CIBR has lost about 9%. Both funds target the digital economy, but they behave very differently when rates rise and markets get choppy.

Shares of PayPal and Block are both cheap relative to historic levels, but only one of them commands heavy enthusiasm from analysts.

2025 was the year of exchange-traded funds, and I strongly believe the momentum will continue throughout 2026.

The Global X FinTech ETF (FINX) is rated Hold due to muted near-term growth prospects and a portfolio skewed toward mature fintech names. FINX's diversified holdings dilute narrative-driven upside, with legacy payments, SaaS, crypto, and international fintech each contributing distinct cyclical and macro sensitivities. Performance has lagged growth alternatives like ARKF and SPY over five years, reflecting FINX's lower exposure to disruptive or momentum-driven fintech segments.

Many financial companies are slow-growing and balance sheet intensive, making them more common in value funds and usually less appealing to growth strategies. However, there are asset-light firms that have competitive advantages and that are benefiting from secular trends.
