High-Flying Tech ETFs See $14 Billion Exodus – Why Investors Are Bailing on TQQQ & SOXL’s Rally

TQQQ and SOXL, two major leveraged tech ETFs, have surged 37% and 53% year-to-date in 2025, but investors pulled $14 billion from them despite the rally. September saw a record $7 billion in outflows from leveraged ETFs, with SOXL losing $2.4 billion that month. TQQQ’s gains fell short of its promised 3× leverage, rising only about 1.9× the QQQ. Many traders are cashing out after big rebounds from 2022’s steep losses.

  • Smiths Group Shares Fall 6% Despite Strategic Sales and Capital Returns
    March 20, 2026, 7:37 AM EDT. Shares of Smiths Group (LSE:SMIN) dropped 5.9% to 2,222p following mixed half-year results and slightly lowered full-year guidance. The company saw organic revenue growth of 4% and a 7.2% rise in headline operating profit to £248 million, with margins improving 50 basis points to 17.2%. However, statutory profits fell sharply due to one-off charges, causing a 17.4% drop in earnings per share. CEO Roland Carter highlighted the sale of Smiths Detection and Smiths Interconnect as transformational, alongside a £1.5 billion planned shareholder return through 2027. Analysts noted investor disappointment over modest revenue growth and trimmed guidance, despite a 5.4% dividend increase. Long-term outlook remains positive with disposals, acquisitions, and capital returns aiming for mid-term 5-7% organic growth and 21-23% margins, seen as a potential buying opportunity by some market watchers.
