XLC: State Street Communication Services Select Sector SPDR ETF research
As of 09-25-2026
Communication services is an overweight sector call and the fund is one of the few showing positive 3-month RS vs SPY at +0.62%, alongside a solid 6.74% 3-month return. Heavy weighting in META and Google names ties this to the tech-led leadership the rotation data confirms. Even though it sits below its 200-day average and has a negative 12-month return, the recent momentum shift and macro tailwind support a tactical buy for this horizon. Moderate beta of 0.85 also limits some downside relative to broader tech.
