After you receive this alert, the Pro Portfolio will make the following trades: 

— Buy 66 shares of Boeing ($BA) at or near $190. Following the trade, we will own 1,135 BA shares, accounting for roughly 3.6% of the Pro Portfolio’s assets.

— Buy 37 shares of Broadcom ($AVGO) at or near $340. Following the trade we will own 625 AVGO shares, accounting for roughly 3.55% of the Pro Portfolio’s assets.

— Buy 22 shares of Eaton Corp. ($ETN) at or near $400. Following the trade we will own 532 ETN shares, accounting for roughly 3.55% of the Pro Portfolio’s assets.

— Buy 25 shares of Marvell ($MRVL) at or near $239. Following the trade, we will own 890 MRVL shares, accounting for roughly 3.55% of the Pro Portfolio’s assets.

We are taking advantage of the recent selloff that has pounded companies, such as Broadcom, Marvell, and Eaton, poised to benefit from the AI infrastructure buildout, but also being mindful of the earnings onslaught that is ahead of us. As such, our bite sizes are on the smaller size and designed to keep the Portfolio’s cash level around 10%, leaving it with some cushion should the next two weeks continue to challenge the market. 

That cash level also gives us firepower for our updated shopping list, which includes shares of Arista Networks ($ANET), the Robo Global Robotics and Automation Index ETF ($ROBO), and the State Street Health Care Select Sector SPDR ETF ($XLV), as well as potentially some things from our recently refreshed Bullpen. 

As we make these AI infrastructure related moves, the Portfolio will stick to the rules and regs of the EPS All-Stars model, which means not dipping further into that basket, but the pronounced selloff in those eight stocks should not go unnoticed by members that have yet to enact the strategy or have room to top it off. 

Outside of AI infrastructure, we are also picking up a few more shares of Boeing today. Reason being, weekend reports indicate the FAA is set to approve the long-delayed certification for the 737 MAX 10. Airlines have ordered nearly 1,500 MAX 10s, leaving the model to account for about 30% of Boeing’s outstanding 737 backlog. The company has already built a handful ⁠of MAX 10s awaiting delivery, and certification should clear that runway, lifting upcoming delivery expectations. As we’ve discussed, increasing deliveries are the key for the expected rebound in profits, earnings and cashflow, which should drive BA shares higher as they materialize. 

As we close out this multi-pronged trade alert, we will make the following checkpoint changes:

AVGO to $300

MRVL to $175

BA remains at $170

ETN remains at $370
