That snapped Software valuations down dramatically...
And, suddenly - starting Friday morning - buyers appeared to snap up these newly cheap stocks...
Inflows into IGV - the Software ETF - have soared...
But, the question has been - who's buying?
Well now we have the answer, thanks to Vanda Research:
1M rolling net retail inflows into the iShares Software ETF (IGV) surged to a record $176mn as of close yesterday, more than double the prior peak seen during the late-2024 software drawdown.
This is one of the more aggressive episodes o...
