Underperforming stock groups set up for a potential six-month bounce

ETF Action’s Mike Akins is focusing on areas that have lagged major AI stocks as a possible opportunity over the next half year.

CNBC Markets highlights comments from ETF Action’s Mike Akins on positioning for the next six months, pointing to “underperforming” parts of the market that have trailed major artificial intelligence stock performance.

The focus is on boosting exposure to stock groups that have lagged relative to large AI names, with Akins arguing those relative gaps could be a driver of future gains over the period.

CNBC Finance framed the idea as a trade horizon of about half a year, anchored to the relative underperformance versus the AI complex rather than a specific company or ticker move.
