DIVO Commentary June 2026

Written by Amplify ETFs | Jul 9, 2026 5:21:21 PM

 

June was a volatile month for equity markets as investors navigated evolving Federal Reserve expectations, heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, and continued uncertainty surrounding the path of interest rates. Large-cap technology and artificial intelligence-related stocks remained a key market driver, though leadership broadened throughout the month as investors increasingly rotated into cyclical sectors and small-cap equities. The S&P 500 reached a new all-time high early in June but remained volatile and largely range bound as the month progressed, ultimately finishing lower. Market uncertainty was reflected in several spikes in the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) above 20 during the month. Despite the choppier backdrop, improving market breadth suggested participation was expanding beyond the narrow group of technology companies that had driven much of the market's gains earlier in the year. Looking ahead to the second half of the year, investors will remain focused on inflation trends, interest rate expectations, second-quarter earnings results, and ongoing geopolitical developments, while monitoring whether improving market breadth can be sustained beyond the largest technology companies.

OVERALL MORNINGSTAR RATING
⭑⭑⭑⭑
Based on risk adjusted returns among 85 funds in the Derivative Income category (as of 6/30/26)

During the month of June, the Amplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income ETF (DIVO) returned -0.71% (NAV), while the benchmark, the S&P 500 Index returned -0.95%. DIVO has returned 5.21% (NAV) year-to-date compared to 10.21% for the S&P 500 Index, with a significant portion of the benchmark's advance occurring during the exceptionally strong rally during April and May. The Fund continues to seek a high level of risk-adjusted total return, which can limit upside participation during sharp risk-on environments as covered call strategies inherently exchange a portion of potential upside for income generation and downside mitigation. Performance relative to the benchmark also reflects DIVO's more diversified sector exposure and lower concentration in mega-cap technology stocks, which have been a primary driver of S&P 500 returns in 2026. The sectors contributing most to performance during June were Industrials (+8.6%), Health Care (+8.1%), and Consumer Discretionary (+0.6%), while Information Technology (-10.7%) and Materials (-11.3%) detracted from returns.1 Caterpillar (CAT), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), and Home Depot (HD) were the top contributors, while Microsoft (MSFT) and CME Group (CME) were the primary detractors.

 

During June, a new position was initiated in Nvidia (NVDA), while several existing holdings were added to and others were trimmed throughout the month. The Fund was active in writing covered calls against RTX Corp (RTX), Home Depot (HD), TJX Companies (TJX), JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and American Express (AXP). Despite this activity, DIVO ended the month with just two covered calls written against portfolio holdings: JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Caterpillar (CAT).2
