With 2025 in full swing, the first months of the new year will begin with a spate of earnings from companies that occupy a significant portion of the S&P 500, namely tech. That said, Direxion has a suite of single-stock exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to watch.
Without a doubt, 2024 was dominated by artificial intelligence (AI) with one name catapulting into the limelight: Nvidia. The question now remains if the chip maker can continue to build off a stellar year that saw it gain 170%. With more consumers and companies leveraging the capabilities of AI, Nvidia is primed for more growth.
Nvidia isn’t the only name to watch when it comes to AI. Other tech companies like Meta, Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft are building out their own AI platforms. Watching these companies vie for the top spot in AI dominance should add a dose of entertainment in the stock market.
Speaking of entertainment, Netflix is another name to watch. The media company gained over 80% in 2024 and market analysts are waiting to see if its plans for global market reach will turn into further gains. Research company Benchmark noted that relative to its media peers, Netflix should fare “significantly better than other media companies with major global scaling advantages.”
8 Pairs in the Crosshairs
With these stocks in mind, Direxion can give traders the tools to game the markets whether these companies trend higher or lower in the short-term. The ETF provider’s suite of single-stock ETFs add double the exposure to bullish moves while offering inverse exposure for bearish moves due to a negative earnings report or other news. Either way, this gives traders the added flexibility and tools necessary for profit maximization.
As such, here are 8 pairs worth having in a trader’s toolbox:
