Berkshire's latest portfolio moves signal a bigger bet on Alphabet and housing stocks. Here are the ETFs that offer exposure to its top buys.

Alphabet Q2 earnings beat on strong Cloud growth, but a higher capex outlook weighed on sentiment. Here are some Alphabet-heavy ETFs to watch.

Telecom Services, Consumer Non-cyclicals, and Healthcare sectors each earn an Attractive-or-better rating in 2Q26. Sector fund ratings are driven by both high-quality underlying holdings and low total annual costs, not just low fees. iShares Global Comm Services ETF (IXP) is the top-rated Financials fund, earning a Very Attractive rating due to strong stock selection.

Disney's earnings beat, streaming momentum and parks growth put ETFs with heavy exposure to the company in focus.

Alphabet stuns with a 93% earnings beat as cloud and AI fuel growth, lifting shares and spotlighting ETFs with heavy exposure.

The iShares Global Communications Services Sector ETF (IXP) is now rated 'hold' after a steep run-up of Alphabet's shares. IXP's top holdings, primarily Alphabet shares,  have benefited from AI, but the good performance is now less likely to persist with Alphabet's valuation at the higher end. Concentration risk is elevated in IXP due to heavy weighting in two large-cap names, Alphabet and Meta, limiting the case for overweighting the sector.

IXP and XLC are two perfectly acceptable ETF's for investing in the overall Communications Services sector. The sector performance has been very good and the outlook remains attractive. IXP has a global focus, while XLC only holds equity in the companies in from the S&P 500. ETFs provide ease-of-use and instant diversification, but they have disadvantages as well.
