- Index rebalancing highlights the growing importance of the physical execution of AI and crucial semiconductor technologies required for it, as seen in shifts for the ROBO Global Robotics and Automation Index (ROBO) and the ROBO Global Artificial Intelligence Index (THNQ) during Q2 2026.
- The THNQ index rebalance concentrated on enhancing the AI backbone, adding crucial infrastructure semiconductor company Marvell Technology (MRVL) at 2.4% and leading AI hardware Cerebras Systems Inc. (CBRS) at 1.7%, and removing non-relevant companies Hubspot Inc. and Costar Group Inc.
- The ROBO index’s rebalance shifted towards physical AI integration, adding lidar sensor manufacturer Ouster Inc. (OUST) and industrial leader Schaeffler AG, and removing industrial automation company Shibaura Machine Co Ltd.
- Both indices now better reflect emerging trends in combining AI with advanced hardware to enhance machine intelligence and perception, particularly for real-world applications.
- Investors in these technologies can access the THNQ index via the ROBO Global Artificial Intelligence ETF and the ROBO index via the ROBO Global Robotics and Automation Index ETF.
