Defiance Daily Target 2X Long AMAT ETF (AMA)
Updated October 16, 2026.
AMA is an ETF linked to Applied Materials (AMAT). its expense ratio is 1.31%. Total return is -20.7% over the past 0.5 years, 24.7 points behind AMAT at 4.0%.
This ETF seeks daily investment results equal to twice the performance of Applied Materials, a semiconductor equipment manufacturer, using leverage to amplify gains and losses. The fund does not currently distribute income to shareholders. With an expense ratio of 1.31%, this security appeals to short-term traders seeking leveraged equity exposure rather than income investors, and it carries the elevated risks associated with daily rebalancing and compounding in volatile markets.

How Dividend Vision calculates yield and returns
Distribution rate (the posted rate) uses calculation basis unavailable. Issuer rates can use a different denominator and date, including ex-date NAV. Trailing-12-month yield is the sum of split-adjusted cash distributions with ex-dates in the last 12 months, divided by the published price. It lags a recent raise or cut. Total return uses split-adjusted close with distributions reinvested on the ex-dividend date (a modeling convention, not the cash-settlement date) from the first stored bar on or after inception through the latest bar, compared with the same window on the benchmark. That is the security's total return, not your personal gain/loss.
