Where EV stocks stand now
As of 12 October 2026, Future Vehicles (CARZ) ranks #50 of the 115 groups Zensei tracks by one-month return against the S&P 500. It is out of favor: it trails the S&P 500 on both rotation windows — 3.7 points behind over the past month and 2.1 points behind over the longer, time-shifted window. That is the Underperformers quadrant.
On the shorter tape, CARZ's momentum is weakening: the intraday trend that carried the move is cooling across the shorter windows. CARZ's relative-strength line has broken below its long-term average — the long-term outperformance trend is no longer intact. Both signals point the same direction here: the market is not rewarding this group on either horizon.
The exposure comes via First Trust S-Network Future Vehicles & Technology ETF, whose 99 tracked holdings are led by Microsoft Corp, Advanced Micro Devices Inc and Nvidia Corp. Weighted by portfolio, the fund's holdings trade at roughly 30.8× earnings. The thing to watch from here is the one-month spread: underperformers only become interesting when the recent window turns positive first — until then, the market is voting elsewhere.
