On August 5, Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF rose 4.62% in pre-market trading, trading at $230.4/share, with turnover of $104,700.
On the news front, multiple Wall Street institutions have highlighted that the U.S. equity bull market is broadening from a handful of mega-cap tech stocks into wider sectors. Goldman Sachs strategist Peter Oppenheimer noted that the equal-weight S&P 500 index has outperformed the market-cap-weighted S&P 500 for the first time since 2009, with excess returns exceeding 7.3%. In July, the equal-weight S&P 500 gained 1.3% while the cap-weighted version fell 0.1%, with the equal-weight index hitting an all-time high in the final week of July.
The core catalyst behind this rotation is mounting pressure on big tech free cash flow as companies ramp AI-related capital expenditures. Meta raised its full-year capex guidance floor to $135-$145 billion. Market concerns over excessive spending are driving funds into broader sectors, benefiting equal-weight strategies that allocate evenly across all S&P 500 constituents.
Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF generally invests at least 90% of its total assets in securities comprising the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index, which consists of all components of the S&P 500 Index equally weighted.
