🟢 Growth ETF (GARY) is trading 2% up in after-hours trading as technology stocks rallied

GARY is trading 2% up in after-hours trading, with technology strength the clearest driver.

• Information technology led the August 13, 2026 advance; flat July PPI and cooling inflation supported growth-stock valuations and eased near-term rate concerns. Nasdaq gained 0.98%.
• Semiconductors strengthened broadly; NVIDIA’s $500 billion AI-infrastructure financing initiative added sector momentum. Applied Materials reported record third-quarter revenue of $9.12 billion and non-GAAP EPS of $3.50 after close.
• GARY’s 47.7% information-technology exposure supports attribution, but no verified Applied Materials post-close reaction leaves its contribution uncertain.
