Herbst Group Investment Changes: Q2 Activity Analysis

As part of its ongoing investment strategy for the period ending June 30th, 2026 (Q2), Herbst Group LLC made several notable changes to its portfolio holdings. The analysis of these adjustments provides insight into the investor's focus areas and recent activity.

The significant buys observed during this quarter include substantial increases in positions for specific securities. Notably, Herbst Group purchased shares in IGV (iShares Core Growth Rate Target Term Trust), CIBR (First TR Exchange-Trad ETF), SPMO (Invesco Exch Traded FD TR II), and BE (Bloom Energy Corp). These purchases represent new additions or significant boosts to existing positions.

Furthermore, the investor demonstrated a strong interest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tracking market performance. This quarter saw Herbst Group acquire SPYI (Neos ETF Trust - S&P 500 Index), QQQI (Neos ETF Trust - Nasdaq 100 Index), and IWM (iShares Core S&P Small-Cap Total Return ETF). These acquisitions suggest confidence in broad market segments.

This includes selling shares from RSP (iShares Core S&P Equal Weight Total Market ETF), AAPL (Apple Inc.), GOOGL (Alphabet Inc.), PANW (Palo Alto Networks Inc.), RTX (RTX Corporation), LLY (Eli Lilly & Co.), and other positions that experienced substantial reductions or were exited.

Additionally, Herbst Group sold its entire position in NEAR (iShares U.S. ETF TR). This exit from the stock indicates a shift away from certain sectors or investment styles prevalent earlier in the quarter.
