Description: HERO Video Games & Esports January 18, 2026
The Global X Video Games & Esports ETF (NASDAQ:HERO) allocates at least 80% of its assets to the securities, ADRs, and GDRs that compose its underlying index, which targets publicly-listed companies positioned to profit from rising consumer spending on video games and esports. The fund is classified as a Communications-sector ETF, is U.S.-based, and is considered non-diversified, meaning its holdings are concentrated in a relatively narrow set of industry participants.
Key industry metrics that underpin HERO’s thesis include: (1) global gaming revenue reached roughly $215 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a 9-10% compound annual rate through 2027, driven by mobile and live-service titles; (2) the esports audience surpassed 500 million viewers in 2023, with sponsorship and advertising spend expanding at an estimated 12% year-over-year pace; and (3) cloud-gaming adoption is accelerating, with major platform providers reporting double-digit subscriber growth, which could broaden the addressable market for hardware and software firms in HERO’s portfolio. For investors seeking deeper insight into how these trends translate into valuation opportunities, a quick look at ValueRay’s analytical tools can help surface the most compelling data points.
