SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust ( $SPY ) has risen by 0.40% in the past week. It has experienced a 5-day net outflow of $9.57 billion.
This is due, in part, to market sentiment on some of the ETF’s largest holdings. For example:

Trade SPY with leverage- Nvidia Corporation remains at the center of the AI build‑out as it heads into its February 25 fiscal Q4 report, with Wall Street expecting about 70% revenue and EPS growth and a possible 14th straight earnings beat. Despite a recent pause after a huge rally, analysts keep a Strong Buy rating and see roughly 40% upside as hyperscalers ramp AI capex and Nvidia maintains dominant data‑center GPU share and mid‑70% margins.
- Nvidia Corporation is viewed as the key “toll collector” on an AI capex wave that could reach $700 billion in 2026, with even conservative estimates suggesting hyperscaler AI spending alone can support a large slice of its 2027 revenue targets. Ownership is broad and ETF‑heavy, and many strategists frame the current consolidation as a healthy breather, arguing that reaffirmed demand and pricing power could trigger another leg higher in this core AI holding.
- Apple Inc has slipped this year, pressured by a West Virginia child‑safety lawsuit and repeated delays to its upgraded Siri AI, yet most analysts still rate the stock a Moderate Buy with about 16%–18% upside and some, like Wedbush’s Daniel Ives, seeing as much as 30%+ potential. Ives argues the market is underestimating Apple’s 2026 Siri AI rollout and its Google Gemini partnership, saying AI monetization across 2.5 billion devices could add $75–$100 per share over time.
- Apple Inc also features as a top holding in diversified AI ETF AIQ, giving investors indirect exposure to its long‑term AI story alongside other chip and networking names. While short‑term sentiment is dampened by legal headlines and hardware cost pressures, Wall Street still views upcoming iPhone cycles, a more personalized Siri, and potential AI‑driven subscription services as key catalysts that could re‑energize growth and justify the bullish longer‑term price targets.
- Microsoft shares have fallen roughly 10%–12% over the past month and sit slightly negative over the year, but analysts remain strongly bullish with an average 12‑month target near $594 and some calls as high as $635, implying about 50% upside. Management tells investors that Copilot is now the main growth engine for M365, Azure demand is constrained more by data‑center capacity than by customers, and in‑house Maia chips plus proprietary models should support margins as AI workloads scale.
- Microsoft is also pushing hard in emerging technologies, from ambitious quantum computing plans—aiming for commercially valuable machines by 2029—to aggressive carbon removal purchases that make it the anchor buyer of that nascent market. While the renewed spotlight on the old Xbox “Red Ring of Death” underscores historical hardware risks, the core investment case is firmly tied to AI‑driven cloud, productivity software, and sustainability, all of which underpin its Strong Buy consensus despite the recent pullback.
