The ALPS O'Shares Global Internet Giants ETF posted a 10.69% gain in August, its strongest monthly performance in recent memory. The move was driven by strong earnings from major technology holdings in enterprise cloud and artificial intelligence. Both primary sources confirm the result, with a rounding difference of one basis point between them.
A 10.69% single-month gain in a diversified internet ETF signals that the AI and cloud earnings cycle is broad enough to lift an entire basket, not just one or two names. Investors holding large-cap tech funds or similar thematic ETFs likely saw comparable tailwinds. The move raises the bar for what the market now expects from cloud and AI earnings going forward.
Next major cloud earnings windows: Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon typically report in late October. Watch for any guidance updates on AI infrastructure spending at those reports.
