In this episode of ETF Spotlight, I speak with Gene Munster, managing partner at Loup Ventures, about the outlook for tech stocks. Gene is a well-known tech expert, and his firm is the index provider for the Innovator Loup Frontier Tech ETF LOUP.

Big tech companies—Apple AAPL, Microsoft MSFT, Amazon AMZN, Alphabet GOOGL and Facebook FB—reported blockbuster results recently, crushing estimates. The combined annual revenue of these five tech giants is about $1.2 trillion, up 25% year-over-year, as they emerged as the biggest beneficiaries of the pandemic economy.

Despite stellar results, these stocks have been under pressure lately and led the market sell-off yesterday, after the hot inflation report. Investors have been concerned about stretched valuations, inflation fears and regulatory risk.

Many investors are rotating into cyclical areas of the market and while the near-term outlook favors cyclicals, investors should not overlook the long-term growth prospects of big tech. Gene still believes that Apple will be the top performing FAANG in 2021, followed by Google, and Netflix NFLX could be the worst.

LOUP ETF invests in companies that influence the future of technology including artificial intelligence (AI), computer perception, robotics, autonomous vehicles, virtual reality, and mixed/augmented reality.

The fund's holdings include Baidu BIDU, Himax Technologies HIMX and Unity Software U. Some of these frontier tech stocks have stumbled lately on worries about rising inflation and higher interest rates. Is it time to buy the dip in these stocks? Tune in to the podcast to learn more.
