After you receive this Alert and when the market opens, the Pro Portfolio will make the following trades:

— Buy 31 shares of Ciena ($CIEN) at or near $485. Following the trade, we will own 96 CIEN shares, accounting for roughly 0.75% of the Pro Portfolio’s assets. 

— Buy 765 shares of Eldorado Gold ($EGO) at or near $31.10. Following the trade, we will own 1,494 EGO shares, accounting for roughly 0.75% of the Pro Portfolio’s assets. 

— Buy 18 shares of Lumentum ($LITE) at or near $843. Following the trade, we will own 55 LITE shares, accounting for roughly 0.75% of the Pro Portfolio’s assets. 

— Buy 1,168 shares of Rocket Companies ($RKT) at or near $15.70. Following the trade, we will own 2,960 RKT shares, accounting for roughly 0.75% of the Pro Portfolio’s assets.

— Buy 63 shares of SiTime Corp. ($SITM) at or near $737.25. Following the trade, we will own 63 SITM shares, accounting for roughly 0.75% of the Pro Portfolio’s assets.

— Buy 49 shares of Seagate Technology ($STX) at or near $945. Following the trade, we will own 49 STX shares, accounting for roughly 0.75% of the Pro Portfolio’s assets. 

This morning, we are completing the reconstitution process for the EPS All-Stars basket, and that entails scooping up more shares of four existing All-Stars positions and adding new All-Stars positions in SiTime and Seagate.

This concludes the strategy’s reconstitution process that we began yesterday. Today’s moves are utilizing that returned capital and gains in shares of Credo Technology ($CRDO) and Hudbay Minerals ($HBM) as well as the big gains we booked on Micron ($MU) and Bloom Energy ($BE). 

With this reconstitution, we have once again increased the Pro Portfolio’s starting exposure to the strategy to 6.0%, or 0.75% per basket position. We plan to do this one final time with the next reconstitution that will occur on September 31 and October 1, taking the total exposure to 8.0% of the Pro Portfolio’s assets. 

A Word on Expected Trade Execution Prices

We expect to execute these trades as the market opens for trading later on Wednesday morning. Because we are sharing the trades well ahead of that to allow members to position themselves accordingly, potential trade execution prices could be different than those listed above. 

The Portfolio will still execute the trades as part of the EPS All-Stars model strategy, and we will post the executed prices in the Comments section below once the trades have been booked.

Rules and Regs of the EPS All-Stars Strategy

As we set sail with this reconstituted model basket, let’s review some of the basics when it comes to the EPS All-Stars strategy:

The strategy comprises a basket of companies with a track record of double-digit EPS growth that are expected to deliver the fastest EPS growth over the coming quarters based on current consensus EPS figures for 2026 and 2027. These are the top-eight companies screened across the top-1,000 listed public companies by market cap. 

Each constituent of the model starts the quarter at 0.75% of the Pro Portfolio’s assets, leading the model to initially represent 6.0% of those assets. We will not be adding to the basket during the quarter. 

There are no ratings or price targets for the model’s constituents, and we will hold the basket until the next reconstitution period on September 31 to October 1. 

The model’s constituents are included in the Portfolio Holdings page, and you can recognize them because they lack a price target and rating.
