"Burke Wealth's Focused Growth returned 21.1% in Q2 2026, capitalizing on AI infrastructure dominance through Nvidia, memory shortage beneficiary Micron, and new datacenter power play Eaton. Manager sold Abbott and Lowe's on execution concerns and mortgage rate dependency, initiated Apollo on indiscriminate sell-off."
Burke Wealth Management's Focused Growth portfolio returned +21.1% in Q2 2026 versus +15.2% for the S&P 500, rebounding strongly from a weak first quarter as corporate earnings strength overshadowed geopolitical concerns. The manager views AI as an early-stage technological revolution driving massive investment and productivity gains, though the path will be non-linear. Key portfolio activity included selling Abbott Labs after repeated execution disappointments and Lowe's due to dependence on unpredictable mortgage rates, while initiating positions in Eaton (4%) for datacenter liquid cooling exposure and Apollo (3%) following indiscriminate sell-off on minimal software credit risk. Micron was trimmed twice despite thesis exceeding expectations, as strategic customer agreements covering 20-33% of volumes shift cyclicality risk to customers and support higher long-term weighting. The manager explores resource scarcity as AI's defining constraint, questioning whether upcoming OpenAI and Anthropic IPOs will reveal finite management bandwidth and compute limitations. With $200 billion recently raised by cash-rich tech giants, the manager flags potential capital market stress and restricted debt access for weaker balance sheets. Portfolio companies' financial strength positions the strategy well for continued earnings growth through year-end.
