Executive Summary
BlackRock Science and Technology Term Trust delivered a strong 44.2% NAV return in Q2 2026, bringing the one-year return to 72.2%. The portfolio maintains AI Infrastructure and AI model companies as core pillars, supported by improving earnings visibility and periodic volatility favoring active stock selection.

The portfolio is shifting focus as AI markets move beyond initial infrastructure deployment toward the application layer, with differentiation now acutely focused on monetization and competitive advantages. Top holdings include Databricks at 13.5%, followed by private companies PsiQuantum and Anthropic, alongside public semiconductor leaders Micron Technology, Nvidia, and Tower Semiconductors. The Trust maintains substantial private investment exposure at 33.7% of net assets across 21 companies, with no new private activity during the quarter. The managers are selectively increasing exposure to companies with AI monetization potential across hardware, infrastructure, and enabling technologies directly benefiting from expanding AI workloads.
