XLK was downgraded to Hold after a historic 48.9% rally, with valuations now resembling 1999 levels at 28-30x forward P/E. The note argues the ETF is expensive, though still supported by expected constituent earnings growth of 43% in 2026 and 24% in 2027. The takeaway is caution on valuation rather than a fundamentally bearish call on earnings.
