SOXL is trading 7.2% up on August 25, 2026, as dip-buying and positioning ahead of NVIDIA’s August 26 earnings support semiconductor shares.

  • NVIDIA’s seven-session decline and concerns about higher AI-server prices had pressured chipmakers.
  • Tuesday’s broader Nasdaq rebound and lower yields improved risk appetite.
  • Iran-related sanctions and trade concerns remain risks, but the technology-led recovery continues; the move is sector-driven rather than company-specific.
