IWF: Growth Category Is Rallying With Strong Outlook
I upgrade IWF to Buy, as robust tech earnings, rate cut prospects, and solid GDP growth fuel outperformance, versus broader indices. Mega-cap tech stocks, especially in AI, are driving S&P 500 earnings surprises and underpin IWF's strong price momentum and low risk profile. IWF's diversified portfolio, low expense ratio, and superior liquidity make it an attractive vehicle for growth exposure amid easing credit conditions.

IWF: Eyes On Nvidia's Earnings, U.S. Large-Cap Growth Lagging Lately
I maintain a hold rating on iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF due to its premium valuation and weak seasonal trends through Q3. US large-cap growth stocks, especially Mag 7 names, show weak relative strength, while SMID caps and international shares outperform. IWF's technicals are mixed: bearish RSI divergence and September volatility risks, but strong long-term trend and solid support levels.
