Few, if any, chip names have been left unscathed from the brutal selloff. But it's a chance to hunt for bargains.

I reiterate my Buy rating on the VanEck Semiconductor ETF, citing robust AI-driven capex growth and attractive entry following recent sector correction. SMH offers diversified exposure to leading semiconductor firms benefiting from hyperscaler AI investments, with top holdings like NVDA, TSM, AMD, and AVGO.
