Financial journalist opinion

XTL: Downgrade To Hold On Deteriorating Macro Outlook

XTL has evolved from a defensive, income-focused telecom ETF to a growth-oriented fund driven by AI, 5G, and cloud infrastructure exposure. Recent macro headwinds—Trump's tariffs, a more hawkish Fed, and weaker global growth—have increased risks and pressured XTL's growth-focused holdings. Fiscal stimulus via the One Big Beautiful Bill and deregulation could offset some headwinds, supporting capital investment and telecom infrastructure buildout.

SPDR S&P Telecom ETF warrants a hold rating due to slow growth characteristics and higher fees compared to competitor ETFs. XTL's top holdings, including AT&T, AST SpaceMobile, and T-Mobile, face growth challenges and competitive pressures, impacting future performance. Despite recent strong share price performance, XTL's valuation is on par with peers, with higher volatility and opportunity costs for investors.
