Q2-to-Date Portfolio Report
& Q3 Positioning

Updated June 4, 2026
June opened with the S&P’s longest winning streak in over a year (7,609.78 on June 3) before a −0.42% breather to 7,543 on June 4 — Dow 51,572, Nasdaq 30,082. New book adds this week: MRVL (Marvell), DG (Dollar General), MSI (Motorola Solutions), MP (MP Materials). Avoiding: MSTR (crypto-treasury risk). Thesis unchanged: AI infrastructure over apps; gold (IAU) hedge intact. Related: Midterms briefing · Credit Stress briefing.

Q2 covers April 1 — June 30, 2026. This is the interim mark through close Friday, May 29. The CW Aggressive Growth suite is up +22.2% year-to-date vs. the S&P 500's +11.2% — led by the AI capex cycle, the power-infrastructure spillover trade, and a deliberate underweight to the OEM auto names. All three U.S. indices closed at all-time highs Friday.

Macro frame. The May 28 U.S. strike de-escalated the Iran-strait standoff and a 60-day diplomatic framework is now being negotiated — oil is rolling off the $90s and the geopolitical premium is bleeding out of crude even as gold holds at record highs on central-bank buying. GDP was revised down to 1.6% from 2.0%, which on its own would argue for cuts, but with the 2Y at 4.024% and a firm labor market the curve is telling us cuts get pushed to Q4. Anthropic raised $65B at a $965B valuation — the largest private round in Silicon Valley history — and Dell ripped +28.75% after-hours Thursday on $4.2B in AI server orders. The AI capex cycle has gone from a stock-picking story to a measurable macro flow.

Q2-to-Date Book Moves

What we did between April 1 and May 29

We extended the AI capex book on every dip and pulled the OEM auto names from the watchlist into a hard pass. The Aggressive Growth book got eleven new positions — all in the AI hardware, AI-power, and auto-AI-cockpit complex. We reinforced our highest-conviction names rather than chasing new themes. The big retirement: the short-AI-bubble thesis — we are explicitly not short. The chip cycle, the AI-power complex, and cybersecurity have all printed earnings that validate the long book.

Q3 2026 Outlook — Seven Themes

🧬

1. The AI Capex Cycle

Anthropic's $65B raise at $965B valuation, Dell's $4.2B AI server orders, and the entire NVDA/AVGO/TSM/MU/ARM/LRCX chain are all printing the same number: AI capex is the dominant capital-formation story of 2026. The right exposure is the picks-and-shovels — chips, foundry, memory, semi-cap — not the model layer.

Bloomberg 5/29/26 · CW Intelligence · Dell AH 5/28/26

2. Power Infrastructure — Highest Conviction

If AI capex is the demand, power is the binding constraint. Our highest-conviction sleeve: CEG (nuclear PPAs), GEV (gas turbines, all-time-high backlog), VRT (liquid cooling), and NEE (largest U.S. renewables / data center PPAs). BE added for the behind-the-meter, non-grid case. Visibility through 2027.

3. Auto-AI Cockpit (Not the OEMs)

The OEM auto sector is -8% Q2-to-date and the unit economics are deteriorating. The silicon, however, is winning — QCOM design wins, NVDA cockpit attach, TSLA as an AI/auto-AI hybrid. We own the layer that gets paid per car shipped regardless of which brand wins.

4. Cybersecurity — Agent-Attack-Surface

Every enterprise deploying AI agents is multiplying its attack surface. CRWD, PANW, PLTR — the thesis we wrote in Q1 is now monetizing in earnings. AI doesn't reduce security spend, it compounds it.

CRWD/PANW Q1 prints · CW Intelligence
🚀

5. SpaceX IPO — Mid-June

SpaceX IPO targeted for mid-June. We do not chase the IPO. The clean read-through is to the GS and MS books — lead-left / co-manager economics, and a re-rating of IB pipelines for the rest of the year. We reinforced both names ahead of the deal.

🧬

6. ASCO Tuesday June 4 — J&J / Legend

LEGN in-vivo CAR-T data drops Tuesday June 4 at ASCO. We are watching, not buying — this is a binary catalyst. A clean readout reprices the entire in-vivo cell-therapy complex. We may take a small position post-print if the data is clean.

ASCO 2026 program · LEGN IR

7. Risk Overlay

Two risks we are watching: (a) the Iran-strait diplomatic framework — if the 60-day deal closes, oil unwinds further and energy beta is a headwind we already trimmed for. (b) rate cuts get pushed to Q4 if the jobs print stays firm — long-duration tech still wins on earnings, but watch for duration-trade dislocations.

Risk Section — What Could Break

AI capex air-pocket — the #1 risk to the book.
If a single hyperscaler signals a capex pause on a quarterly print, the entire NVDA/AVGO/TSM/MU/AMD complex re-rates lower. Mitigant: the order books and Anthropic/Dell flow argue we are mid-cycle, not late-cycle. We size the book at 26.5% semis — concentrated but not all-in.
Iran strait reopens fully — energy headwind continues.
If the 60-day diplomatic framework closes, WTI could drop into the low $70s. Mitigant: we already trimmed energy from 20% to 10%. Remaining names are core integrateds (XOM, CVX, COP) that work on cycle but won't drag the book.
Cuts pushed to Q4 — long-duration dislocation risk.
10Y at 4.454% and 2Y at 4.024% are pricing a Q4-or-later cut path. If the next jobs print is firm again, long-duration software (PLTR, CRWD) and small/mid-cap AI names could see a duration unwind. Mitigant: the AI complex is a flows + earnings trade, not a duration trade. We've seen this pattern reverse fast.
GDP at 1.6% — growth scare risk.
The revision from 2.0% to 1.6% is a marginal signal not a regime change — but if Q2 prints below 1%, the cyclical names (PH, financials, energy) trade off first. Mitigant: AI capex is now a measurable macro line item; it cushions the growth picture even at slower headline GDP.
Concentration risk — deliberate, but real.
Top 10 = ~37% of Aggressive Growth book. This is by design (Tactical sleeve). Clients with lower risk tolerance are on the Dividend Income sleeves (+9–13% YTD), the Tax-Efficient model (+9.3% YTD), or the Halal model (+22.0% YTD).

Q2 Review — Book Your 15-Minute Call

Let's get aligned for Q3

We're making real changes this quarter — more defensive on consumer discretionary, deeper into aerospace and semis, lighter on long-held AI positions where the valuation finally caught up. A Q2 review is the right moment to confirm your sleeve (Aggressive Growth vs. Dividends vs. Tax-Efficient vs. Halal vs. 403(b)) and to capture any inheritance / rollover / 1035 funds that should land in this allocation.

Advisor's Note

From Sean Anees Saifi — Your Financial Advisor

Q1 was the energy-and-defense quarter. Q2 has been the AI-capex-and-power quarter — and the book has positioned for it cleanly. Aggressive Growth is up +22.2% YTD through May 29 vs. the S&P's +11.2%. The book's standout holdings are working — INTC +207%, Rocket Lab +104%, Vertiv +92% YTD.


The biggest call of the year is the one we did not make: we are not short AI. The tape, the capex, and the earnings prints all disagree with that thesis. Anthropic at $965B and Dell's $4.2B in AI server orders make that case quantitatively, not narratively.


For Q3 we're watching three catalysts: SpaceX IPO mid-June (read-through to GS/MS, not chasing the deal itself), ASCO Tuesday June 4 (LEGN binary readout — we watch, we don't pre-position), and the next jobs print (drives whether cuts come in September or get pushed to Q4).


For my CalSTRS, CalPERS, and 403(b) clients: your pension is the floor; this book is the growth engine on top of it. The 403(b) CWLG Aggressive sleeve is up +6.9% Q2-to-date and is the right exposure for most pension households. If you want the full Tactical book, we'll talk through risk tolerance first.


Let's get a 15-minute Q2 review on the calendar — same format we always run. Defensive shifts, what we're trimming, and where any new money lands.
