The most bought and sold stocks and ETFs last week.
SpaceX shed its status as the most traded stock in the last week as the stock came back to earth following its stratospheric IPO. Shares ended the week down 17% allowing some re-entry points for investors who had maybe missed the IPO – Saxo UK clients remained net buyers at 74% buys.
Top spot went to Micron as shares of the chipmaker jumped following a bumper earnings update. Micron quadrupled revenue to $41.5 billion as demand for its high bandwidth memory chips surged, while profits rose 15x to $28.2 billion. Shares gained 15% on the day and ended the week +259% YTD.
Diversification remains a powerful force with top ETFs last week bought including the iShares MSCI Global Semiconductors UCITS ETF, the Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF and iShares Core MSCI World UCITS ETF.
Clients sold Intel (38% buys) and AMD (40% buys) as some heat came onto the semiconductor sector.
