ROBO, THNQ rebalance increases AI hardware, physical automation

VettaFi’s Q2 rebalance shifted ROBO and THNQ toward semiconductors, sensors and actuators, adding Marvell and Cerebras to THNQ and Ouster and Schaeffler to ROBO.

VettaFi implemented its second-quarter 2026 rebalance for the ROBO Global Robotics and Automation Index (ROBO) and the ROBO Global Artificial Intelligence Index (THNQ), shifting index weight toward AI hardware and physical automation.

For THNQ, the rebalance added Marvell Technology (MRVL) at a 2.4% index weight and Cerebras Systems Inc. (CBRS) at 1.7%. The index removed marketing software company HubSpot Inc. (HUBS), previously at 0.74%, and real estate data provider CoStar Group Inc. (CSGP), previously at 0.62%.

ROBO increased its allocation to physical automation by adding lidar and vision sensor maker Ouster Inc. (OUST) at 1.4% and industrial supplier Schaeffler AG (SHA0 GR) at 1.14% in the actuation subsector. The rebalance removed industrial machinery firm Shibaura Machine Co. Ltd. (6104 JP), which had a 0.7% weight.

The changes raise exposure to semiconductors, sensors, actuators and AI accelerators while reducing weight in cloud and software business-process companies.

Investors can access the indexes through the ROBO Global Artificial Intelligence ETF (THNQ) and the ROBO Global Robotics and Automation Index ETF (ROBO).
