Market cap $43.2M

The final trades of the day with CNBC's Melissa Lee and the Fast Money traders.

MIAMI, March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Defiance ETFs, a trailblazer in innovative exchange-traded funds, is proud to spotlight the strong performance of the Defiance Large Cap Ex-Magnificent Seven ETF (XMAG), which has outpaced the S&P 500 in 2025 as the so-called “Magnificent 7” tech giants—Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Nvidia, Meta, and Tesla—face a significant downturn. Launched in October 2024, XMAG has quickly emerged as a game-changing tool for investors seeking to diversify and manage concentration risk in a market rattled by the Mag 7 crash.

Earnings season is in full swing. This first round right out of the gate may well set the tone for markets in 2025.

In the vaguest of senses, investing $1,000 in the benchmark S&P 500 stock market index at the very start of 2024 would have, by the year's end, proven a wildly profitable maneuver. Indeed, a January 2 investment would have, by December 31, appreciated 23.31% to a hefty $1,233.10.

This year tracks as a record for ETF launches among US issuers. Investors have demanded high-yield, protection, and crypto-related funds in 2024. New strategies emerge, including innovations in the tax space, as the ETF universe expands.

Sylvia Jablonski with Defiance ETFs discusses the Defiance Large Cap ex-Mag 7 ETF. She labels the ETF as a way to trade with all S&P 500 names, minus the Mag 7.

Earnings season is in full swing, and five of the “Magnificent 7” are reporting quarterly results this week. Wall Street has been steadily raising the alarm on mega-cap concentration risks, and recent notes out from Goldman Sachs and Vanguard have cranked up the hazard level a notch.

Sylvia Jablonski, CEO of Defiance ETFs sits down with CNBC's Bob Pisani on ‘Halftime Report' to discuss the firm's latest product and the case for investing beyond the Magnificent 7.

“The shape of the U.S. equity market has undergone a massive change over just the last few years,” says BlackRock's Rachel Aguirre.
