Here’s Why SPY, IVV, and VOO ETF Stocks Have More Room to Run

Despite rising US bond yields and the ongoing US-Iran conflict, the SPY, IVV, and VOO ETFs, which track the S&P 500 Index, have performed well, jumping over 17% this year. The article suggests these ETFs have further upside due to the S&P 500's perceived bargain valuation (forward P/E of 22) and strong earnings growth, particularly from the technology sector. Companies like NVIDIA, Microsoft, Palantir, and AMD are driving this revenue growth, making the index attractive for continued growth.
