BUL hits a new 52-week high as strong growth sentiment, tech momentum and a focus on high free cash flow stocks fuel gains.

Pacer US Cash Cows Growth ETF holds a portfolio of 50 stocks with high growth and free cash flow, focused on consumer discretionary and industrials. The BUL ETF combines value and growth characteristics and has outperformed many growth ETFs over the last 12 months. Nonetheless, performance since inception is underwhelming compared to peers.

The new year is poised for a resurgence in tech IPOs, as lower interest rates and an investor shift to small- and mid-cap companies combine to create a more welcoming market for debuts. The current environment presents the most favorable conditions for the recovery of IPOs in the past three years. The S&P 400 Midcap Index and the S&P 600 Index have outperformed the S&P 500 Index since the US election Nov. 5.
