Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF

BOTZ

Market cap $3.33B

NVIDIA Corp.'s (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Eli Lilly and Co.'s (NYSE: LLY) newly announced $1 billion AI co-innovation lab underscores how artificial intelligence is spreading beyond data centers into medicine, and ETF investors are beginning to price that into thematic funds.

There is no question that 2026 is already set up to be something of a continuance of 2025, at least in the sense of moving deeper into the world of AI, automation, and robotics.

This ETF has the right ingredients for long-term growth. Expanding artificial intelligence (AI) use cases could be catalysts for this fund.

Thematic investors are split between two big future bets: robotics and electric vehicles.

AI ETFs have been among the top performers in the market lately, but robot ETFs may drive the next surge. The AI boom is still in its early innings, with the physical AI market expected to achieve huge growth ahead.

The Global X Cloud Computing ETF offers investors a lot of exposure to mid-cap stocks. The Roundhill Generative AI and Technology ETF is the first ETF with a specific focus on generative AI.

Some corners of the robotics industry could actually surge much more than 300%. Signs point to estimates for industry growth being too restrained.

I reiterate a 'Buy' rating on the Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF, anticipating a major trigger from potential U.S. government support. BOTZ offers concentrated exposure to robotics and AI, with Nvidia as its top holding and nearly 60% in its top ten positions. Three core arguments support the fund: imminent policy catalysts, sector deleveraging with improving fundamentals, and attractive valuation at 36x P/E vs. a 50x historical high.

AI-fueled record Black Friday spending and soaring e-commerce traffic may lift AI-focused ETFs like IYW, AIQ, FDN, XT and BOTZ amid strong tech and online retail demand.

A projected 1.9 million unfilled U.S. manufacturing jobs by 2033 make automation a necessity, not a luxury. This fund's concentrated structure allocates heavily to the sector's winners rather than diluting returns across dozens of also-rans.
