XLK has underperformed the S&P 500 since mid-April, despite a 17% gain, due to broader earnings growth across other sectors. Technology's earnings growth premium is fading, with sectors like Financials and Industrials expected to grow at similar or higher rates by late 2025. Elevated valuations for tech stocks are harder to justify as earnings growth broadens, making other sectors more attractive at lower multiples.

XLK: Underperformance Likely To Continue

XLK seems to be poised for a short-term continuation of upside trend, due to Trump's potential re-election and Powell's dovish monetary stance. Current economic indicators and strong Q3 earnings point to a positive outlook for XLK, but rising T-Note yields signal potential inflation risks ahead. The pressure from Trump's policies and upcoming debt maturities forces regulators into a "difficult open-heart surgery".

Technology stocks led the 2024 rally but have since declined sharply, with XLK's performance suffering in part due to heavy reliance on Microsoft and NVIDIA.

XLK's seasonality is weak in September, but historically strong in October and November, suggesting a potential year-end rally after further declines.
