Amplify Travel Tech ETF

AWAY

Market cap $35.1M

Cautious consumers, strong goods demand! ETFs to watch this holiday season: likely winners XLY, ONLN, BPAY, CHAT, likely laggards EATZ, AWAY.

Lower gas prices and record travel could lift ETFs like JETS, BEDZ and EATZ during the July 4 holiday rush.

I rate TOUS a buy for long-term investors seeking international diversification and resilience against US market volatility and trade uncertainties. TOUS offers a balanced blend of growth and value, with strong sector and regional diversification, and a solid 28.6% total return since inception. While TOUS underperforms US-focused ETFs like SPY and QQQ, it has outpaced them YTD and provides currency diversification and attractive valuations.

Americans are back to traveling and spending. Discover 4 ETFs poised to benefit from the summer travel surge amid falling gas prices, and record-low airfare.

Total spending would be $27.5 billion this year on Valentine's Day, per NRF. The amount is up from last year's $25.8 billion.

I am downgrading the Invesco WilderHill Clean Energy ETF due to concerns with its composition and the overall challenges in the clean energy sector. The ETF's stock selection is based on non-financial criteria like relevance to climate change and biodiversity, leading to a seemingly arbitrary mix of companies. The fund's valuation metrics are poor, with negative P/E ratios and return on equity, indicating unprofitability and poor performance across various timeframes.

The hospitality sector is anticipating a strong rebound in 2025, which could present compelling opportunities for investors. As global travel restrictions caused by disease and geopolitical tension continue to ease and pent-up demand for leisure and business travel surges, the sector is anticipating healthy growth.

Though a less-dovish Fed for 2025 may slightly dampen moods on Wall Street, a moderate Santa Claus Rally seems likely this year.

An optimistic travel outlook this holiday season and onward drive travel ETFs.

For investors seeking momentum, ETFMG Travel Tech ETF AWAY is probably on the radar. The fund just hit a 52-week high and is up 31% from its 52-week low of $17.13 per share.
