(SDOW) ProShares UltraPro Short - Ratings and Ratios
Derivatives, Swaps, Cash
Description: SDOW ProShares UltraPro Short
The ProShares UltraPro Short Dow30 (SDOW) is an ETF designed to deliver triple the inverse daily return of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which comprises 30 of the largest and most liquid U.S. stocks. This means that if the Dow Jones Industrial Average falls by 1%, SDOW is designed to rise by 3%. The fund achieves this through a combination of financial instruments, including derivatives and other investment vehicles, managed by ProShare Advisors.
SDOW is categorized under Trading--Inverse Equity ETFs, indicating its purpose is to provide investors with a tool to either hedge against potential declines in the Dow Jones Industrial Average or speculate on downward movements. Given its non-diversified nature, the funds performance is heavily reliant on the accuracy of its inverse correlation strategy with the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
Analyzing the technical data, we observe that SDOWs last price is $47.77, which is below both its 20-day and 50-day Simple Moving Averages (SMA) of $54.16 and $54.29, respectively. This suggests that the ETF has been on a downtrend in the short to medium term. However, its 200-day SMA stands at $50.87, indicating that the longer-term trend is slightly more nuanced. The Average True Range (ATR) is 4.72, representing a volatility of approximately 9.87%. The ETF is currently trading between its 52-week high of $70.59 and low of $42.11, indicating significant price swings over the past year.
Fundamentally, SDOW has Assets Under Management (AUM) of $205.73 million. While this is not insignificant, its worth noting that the liquidity and trading volume of the ETF can impact its ability to meet its daily inverse return objective.
Forecasting SDOWs performance involves analyzing both the technical and fundamental data. Given the current downtrend indicated by the short-term SMAs and considering the volatility (ATR of 4.72), theres a potential for continued fluctuation. If the Dow Jones Industrial Average experiences a downturn, SDOW should theoretically benefit. However, if the market rallies, SDOWs value could decline significantly due to its triple inverse leverage. The current position relative to its 200-day SMA and the overall market conditions will be crucial. If the Dow Jones Industrial Average is poised for a decline, SDOW could be a viable speculative investment or hedging tool. Conversely, if the market is expected to rise, investors should be cautious. As of now, a cautious stance or a hedging strategy might be advisable, considering the current technical indicators and the inherent risks associated with inverse leveraged ETFs.
