GVUS volume surges 26× as JPMorgan, tech names rally

Goldman Sachs MarketBeta Russell 1000 Value Equity ETF (GVUS) has seen unusual trading volume, which is 26× higher than its average daily volume.

Among GVUS’s largest positions, JPMorgan Chase is in focus ahead of next week’s Q1 2026 results, with Wall Street looking for roughly 7% EPS growth and the bank itself flagging solid investment-banking and markets revenue despite a more cautious macro backdrop. Energy heavyweights Exxon Mobil and Chevron are reacting to a U.S.–Iran ceasefire and talk of potential sanctions relief that has driven oil prices lower, pressuring their shares even as analysts remain broadly positive on Exxon’s long‑term outlook. Tech and consumer bellwethers Alphabet (both A and C shares), Amazon, Walmart, and Micron are all benefiting from upbeat analyst commentary tied to AI and cloud demand, with Alphabet winning reiterated Buy ratings, Amazon highlighting rapidly growing AI and custom-chip revenue in CEO Andy Jassy’s latest letter, Walmart leaning into AI, advertising and tech hiring to support higher‑margin growth, and Micron riding a powerful AI‑driven memory upcycle that many on Wall Street still see as having further to run despite cyclicality risks.
