Tradr ETFs are designed for sophisticated investors and professional traders who are looking to express high conviction investment views. The strategies include leveraged and inverse ETFs that seek short or long exposure to actively traded stocks and ETFs.IMPORTANT RISK INFORMATIONTradr ETFs are for sophisticated investors and professional traders with high conviction views and are very different from most other ETFs. The Funds are intended to be used as short-term trading vehicles and pursue leveraged investment objectives, which means they are riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the Funds magnify the performance of their underlying security. The volatility of the underlying security may affect a Fund's return as much as, or more than, the return of the underlying security.Investors in the fund should: (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage; (b) understand the consequences of seeking inverse and leveraged investment results; (c) for short ETFs, understand the risk of shorting; (d) intend to actively monitor and manage their investment. Fund performance will likely be significantly different than the benchmark over periods longer than the specified reset period and the performance may trend in the opposite direction than its benchmark over periods other than that period.Leverage increases the risk of a total loss of an investor's investment, may increase the volatility of the Funds, and may magnify any differences between the performance of the Funds and their reference security. The Funds seek leveraged investment results for a specific period (daily, monthly or quarterly). The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intra-period will depend upon the movement of the reference security from the end of the prior period until the time of investment by the investor.The Fund will not attempt to position its portfolio to ensure it does not gain or lose more than a maximum percentage of its net asset value on a given trading day. As a consequence, investors in a Fund that seeks two times daily performance would lose all of their money if the Fund's underlying security moves more than 50% in a direction adverse to the Fund on a given trading day.ETFs involve risk including possible loss of the full principal value. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Principal risks and other important risks may be found in the prospectus. Past performance does not guarantee future results.ETF shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the ETF. There can be no guarantee that an active trading market for ETF shares will develop or be maintained, or that their listing will continue or remain unchanged. Buying or selling ETF shares on an exchange may require the payment of brokerage commissions and frequent trading may incur brokerage costs that detract significantly from investment returns.Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Funds. This and other important information about the Fund is contained in the Prospectus, which can be obtained by visiting www.tradretfs.com. The Prospectus should be read carefully before investing.Distributed by ALPS Distributors, Inc, which is not affiliated with AXS Investments or its Tradr ETFs.

NXP Semiconductors Jumps on Strong Q2 Revenue OutlookApril 29, 2026 7:02 AM
IH Market News
NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ:NXPI) shares surged 16.98% after the company reported first-quarter results alongside second-quarter revenue guidance that came in roughly 5% above Wall Street expectations.The chipmaker delivered a solid quarterly performance and issued stronger-than-anticipated forecasts for the current quarter, prompting a sharp rally in its stock.Analysts at Barclays said the results addressed two major investor concerns. “Both Auto and Industrial guided above seasonal for Q2, while channel weeks remain flat,” they noted. “Utilization is expected to rise from low 80s% in the 1H to mid 80s% in the 2H. DC sales, which comprised 2% of 2025 revenue and is targeted at 4% in 2026 is more than 1.5x Y/Y.”Bank of America analysts highlighted several supportive trends, including 18% year-over-year growth in key drivers across automotive and industrial IoT segments, which together accounted for about one-third of total revenue in the quarter. They also pointed to improving free cash flow margins, which reached 22% on a trailing twelve-month basis and could expand to 25–30% by 2027.Analysts at Wolfe Research acknowledged that while NXP has relatively lower exposure to artificial intelligence compared with peers and the automotive recovery remains slower than other markets, “the company has executed well in a difficult environment, the valuation is attractive, pricing is starting to improve, and auto isn’t likely to lag forever.”The company’s data center segment, which currently represents about 2% of 2025 revenue, is expected to grow to 4% by 2026. This business includes microprocessors, microcontrollers, and networking solutions.NXP Semiconductors stock price

U.S. Markets Set for a Cautious Start After Prior Session’s Tech-Led Slide: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, Wall Street FuturesFebruary 4, 2026 9:18 AM
IH Market News
U.S. stock index futures are signaling a largely flat open on Wednesday, pointing to a tentative start to the session as investors digest the previous day’s losses and look for fresh direction.Futures showed little reaction even after payroll processor ADP reported a much weaker-than-expected increase in private sector hiring for January. According to ADP, private employment rose by just 22,000 jobs last month, following a downwardly revised gain of 37,000 in December. Economists had been looking for an increase of 45,000 jobs, compared with the 41,000 initially reported for the prior month.Despite the muted futures response, technology shares could remain under pressure after a sector rotation weighed heavily on markets in Tuesday’s session. A sharp premarket decline in Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) is likely to drag on sentiment, with the chipmaker down 10.1% before the open.AMD’s drop comes after the company reported stronger-than-expected fourth-quarter results but issued first-quarter guidance that disappointed some analysts.In contrast, Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) is providing a bright spot for the sector. Shares are jumping 9.5% in premarket trading after the company delivered fiscal second-quarter results that beat expectations and lifted its full-year revenue outlook.Stocks finished decisively lower on Tuesday, giving back gains from the prior session. All three major averages closed in negative territory, led by a pronounced selloff in technology. The Nasdaq fell 336.92 points, or 1.4%, to 23,255.19, while the S&P 500 dropped 58.63 points, or 0.8%, to 6,917.81. The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 166.67 points, or 0.3%, to 49,240.99.The pullback on Wall Street was largely attributed to investors rotating out of technology stocks, a trend clearly reflected in the Nasdaq’s underperformance. Software names were among the weakest, pushing the Dow Jones U.S. Software Index down 3.5% to its lowest closing level in more than nine months.The sector’s decline came despite a strong rally in Palantir Technologies (PLTR), which surged 6.9% after the AI-focused software firm posted better-than-expected fourth-quarter results and issued upbeat guidance.Semiconductor stocks also faced notable selling pressure, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index sliding 2.1%. Shares of NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ:NXPI) fell 4.5%, even after the Dutch chipmaker topped analyst expectations on both revenue and earnings for the fourth quarter.Outside of technology, several areas benefited from the rotation. Retail heavyweight Walmart (NYSE:WMT) jumped 2.9%, pushing its market capitalization above $1 trillion for the first time.“It would be hard to find a better illustration of the market’s recent rotation away from tech than Walmart achieving a $1 trillion valuation for the first time,” said AJ Bell head of markets Dan Coatsworth. He added, “This bastion of Main Street joins a club which has previously only been populated by technology businesses and Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway vehicle.”Gold-related stocks also posted strong gains, buoyed by a sharp rebound in bullion prices. The NYSE Arca Gold Bugs Index surged 4.4%.Strength was also seen in steel, energy, and housing stocks, which helped cushion the broader market from even steeper losses.Advanced Micro Devices stock priceSuper Micro Computer stock priceNXP Semiconductors stock priceWalmart stock price

U.S. Stocks Move To The Downside Amid Rotation Out Of TechFebruary 3, 2026 4:43 PM
IH Market News
Stocks moved notably lower during trading on Tuesday, more than offsetting the strength seen in the previous session. The major averages all moved to the downside on the day, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq showing a particularly steep drop.The major averages climbed well off their worst levels in the latter part of the session but remained in negative territory. The Nasdaq slumped 336.92 points or 1.4 percent to 23,255.19, the S&P 500 (SPI:SP500) slid 58.63 points or 0.8 percent to 6,917.81 and the Dow fell 166.67 points or 0.3 percent to 49,240.99.The weakness on Wall Street was largely due to a rotation out of technology stocks, as reflected by the steep drop by the Nasdaq.Software stocks turned in some of the tech sector’s worst performances, dragging the Dow Jones U.S. Software Index down by 3.5 percent to its lowest closing level in over nine months.The weakness in the sector came despite a surge by shares of Palantir Technologies (PLTR), which shot up by 6.9 percent after the AI-powered software provider reported better than expected fourth quarter results and provided upbeat guidance.Substantial weakness was also visible among semiconductor stocks, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index tumbling by 2.1 percent.Shares of NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ:NXPI) plunged by 4.5 percent even though the Dutch chipmaker reported fourth quarter results that exceeded analyst estimates on the top and bottom lines.Meanwhile, some stocks benefited from the rotation out of tech, including retail giant Walmart (NYSE:WMT), which surged by 2.9 percent and surpassed a $1 trillion market capitalization.“It would be hard to find a better illustration of the market’s recent rotation away from tech than Walmart achieving a $1 trillion valuation for the first time,” said AJ Bell head of markets Dan Coatsworth.He added, “This bastion of Main Street joins a club which has previously only been populated by technology businesses and Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway vehicle.Gold stocks also saw considerable strength amid a significant rebound by the price of the precious metal, with the NYSE Arca Gold Bugs Index spiking by 4.4 percent.Steel, energy and housing stocks also moved notably higher on the day, helping to limit the downside for the broader markets
Other Markets
In overseas trading, stock markets across the Asia-Pacific region moved notably higher during trading on Tuesday. Japan’s Nikkei 225 Index soared by 3.9 percent, while China’s Shanghai Composite Index surged by 1.3 percent.Meanwhile, the major European markets moved to the downside over the course of the session. While the U.K.’s FTSE 100 Index dipped by 0.3 percent, the German DAX Index edged down by 0.1 percent and the French CAC 40 Index closed just below the unchanged line.In the bond market, treasuries closed roughly flat after seeing modest weakness for much of the day. The yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, edged down by less than a basis point to 4.274 percent after reaching a high of 4.30 percent.
Looking Ahead
Trading on Wednesday may be impacted by reaction to reports on private sector employment and service sector activity.SOURCE: RTTNEWS

$NXPI Qualcomm Deal Collapse Forces NXP to Forge a New Path
Source: Dow Jones News
By Stu Woo
Qualcomm Inc.'s decision to abandon the takeover of NXP Semiconductors NV produced a cash windfall for the Dutch chip maker, but left it scrambling to spell out what its future may hold.
Qualcomm late Wednesday walked away from the $44 billion deal after the Chinese government didn't give its blessing to the takeover amid trade tensions with the U.S.
NXP is due to collect a $2 billion breakup fee, but President and Chief Executive Richard Clemmer on Thursday called the outcome "unfortunate" after such a prolonged process. "We are confident in our future as an independent market leader," he said as the company posted second-quarter results.
The company tried to ease investor anxiety, announcing a $5 billion share buyback.
Its most immediate challenge, though, could be to assure shareholders NXP is a company with a plan.
Since a deal was announced in October 2016, NXP stopped providing financial forecasts and holding quarterly conference calls with analysts. Mr. Clemmer exercised options and sold more than $400 million of NXP shares last autumn when they were trading around $113. On Wednesday, they traded at $98.37.
NXP Chief Financial Officer Daniel Durn left a year ago for the same role at rival semiconductor maker Applied Materials Inc.
"You worry about losing the good people," said Stacy Rasgon, a Bernstein Research analyst, adding that NXP "likely needs a new senior management team."
NXP is planning to brief investors on its second-quarter results Thursday and said it would provide additional detail about its plans at a future meeting with analysts.
NXP, though, must confront the reality that the markets it competes in are changing. Based in a leafy office park in the small city of Eindhoven, Netherlands, NXP is the world's leading maker of chips used in cars, especially for infotainment systems and sensors. It also makes chips for identification and public-transit cards. In 2017, it reported $9.3 billion in sales and a net profit of $2.2 billion.
But the prospect of growing fleets of self-driving cars has driven other chip makers into the automotive sector. Intel Corp. last year agreed to buy Israel's Mobileye NV to expand its expertise in helping self-driving vehicles hit the roads. Samsung Electronics Co. in late 2016 agreed to buy U.S. automotive technology provider Harman International Industries Inc.
NXP could find itself marginalized. "A lot of what they sell are things like sensors and peripherals and infotainment-type stuff, but in the long run, the premise is the car will become more and more like a computer, and NXP doesn't that have expertise today," said Tore Svanberg, a Stifel Nicolaus analyst. He said Qualcomm has that know-how, but not the auto-industry relationships that NXP has, which made the marriage attractive.
NXP declined to comment for this article.
Activist investor Elliott Management Corp. has built up a stake in NXP over the past year and pushed Qualcomm to offer a higher price for the Dutch company, arguing that the takeover target promised strong earnings growth. Elliott couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
The good news for NXP, according to analysts, is that its business is profitable, even without the $2 billion breakup fee. That gives NXP the strength to grow as a stand-alone company while allowing it to consider acquisitions down the road.
"It'll be a perfectly fine stand-alone company," Mr. Rasgon said.
