The Week
HACK.US finished the week at $118.67, up 7.98% from the prior Friday’s close of $109.90. Over the same period, the S&P 500 eased 0.08%, so the ETF outperformed the benchmark by about 8.06 percentage points. The daily bars show a gap higher on Monday followed by a rapid push upward, with Thursday touching the week’s high of $122.57 before Friday faded toward $118.67.

Sector News
Cybersecurity names advanced broadly this week. Among the ETF’s holdings, Zscaler gained 19.92%, Rubrik added 23.15%, Palo Alto Networks rose 9.96%, Fortinet climbed 8.82%, Okta moved up 9.53%, and CrowdStrike had a 14.67% single-day surge. Sector flow centred on AI-security demand and vulnerability disclosures: Rubrik rolled out Claude-based code red-teaming, Cloudflare added separate controls for search and AI training, and Cisco disclosed another exploited zero-day rated a perfect 10. On the ratings side, BTIG kept its buy on Okta with a $219 target, Zscaler picked up a new buy rating, while Bernstein downgraded Palo Alto Networks to market-perform and the stock fell intraday.
The Week Ahead
No major earnings from HACK.US holdings are scheduled for next week. On the macro calendar, Tuesday brings the Richmond Fed composite index (prior 4), Wednesday has EIA weekly crude and Cushing inventories, and Thursday is the busiest session with initial jobless claims (prior 196), the current account deficit, new home sales, and EIA natural gas storage changes. After this week’s AI-security-driven rally, the next data points to watch are any fresh AI demand signals and follow-through from the Cisco zero-day story for firewall and email security vendors.
In Short
HACK.US rose 7.98% this week and outperformed the S&P 500 by more than 8 percentage points, riding a broad cybersecurity upswing. Zscaler and Rubrik led the advance, while Palo Alto Networks pulled back after a downgrade; AI-security demand and the Cisco zero-day sat side by side as parallel storylines. The latest daily capital snapshot shows mixed small- and mid-lot flows, too short a window to read as a trend. What matters next is whether the AI-security bid holds and whether the leaders can stabilise after this week’s rapid gains.
