Global X Cloud Computing ETF continues to take off as the broader market makes sideways or smaller increases in comparison. The price is very attractive at around $20 per share that offers exposure to Twilio "TWLO" 6.06%, Zscaler "ZS" 5.04%, Zoom Video "ZM" 4.57%, Coupa Software "COUP" 4.45%, Shopify "SHOP" 4.10%, Paycom "PAYC" 3.94% and quite a few others according to XTF. It should be noted that there is expense ratio of 0.68%. The expense ratio is high for larger ETFs, but just slightly above average for newer niche ETFs. The ETF has 635.25 AUM (Assets under Management) and a TTM Dividend/Distribution yield of 0.04% according to FactSet. Unfortunately, this is not an ETF that will provide much return in the form of dividends.
There are quite a few dominant players in the ETF that have seen exploding gains since the Covid-19 pandemic. There is also widespread belief that the behaviors established during the lockdowns will extend long beyond the pandemic. Many companies have come out in support of allowing employees to continue to work from home. Additionally, primary, and secondary education students may also continue to learn from home - accelerating a trend in online education. If these predictions hold true, there will be much growth to be gained from the underlying companies in "CLOU". There are very few filters on what companies are permitted in the fund. Global X states that any company that earns at least 500M from software or applications, provide virtualized computing from a PaaS, and cloud computing data centers is eligible for the fund.
The long-term value of the fund looks great for growth. The EMA 12 is at $20.00 and the EMA 26 is at $19.59 (these values were chosen as they are corresponding to the MACD indicator). However, there are some significant signs that the fund may be overbought according to the Stochastic RSI and the MFI. The Stoch RSI K is at 99.41 and D at 99.61 and the MFI 14 at 86.26. These are signs that the fund may be extremely overbought. Although, it should be noted that we are looking at an ETF and not common stock of any one company. The linear regression shows a very promising trend with the price very smoothly moving around the mean within a standard deviation of 2.5 at a length of 100 and a Pearson’s R Correlation Coefficient of 0.9043. Therefore, it would be a strong signal to wait for an entry point if you have not already purchased this ETF. At the time of this writing, a price between approximately $19.30 and $20.00 would be an acceptable entry point into this ETF.
