Leuthold Group LLC Q2 2026: Strategic Shifts in Energy Focus and Technology Investments
This analysis details observable stock purchases and sales by Leuthold Group, Llc during their second quarter ending June 30, 2026.
As of Leuthold Group LLC's latest filing dated 2026-06-30, the investment firm managed a portfolio valued at $977.3 million.
The investor demonstrated significant buying activity during this quarter, notably adding positions in healthcare and energy sectors. Pfizer Inc. (PFE) saw its stake increase by an impressive 100%, suggesting strong confidence in the pharma giant's prospects or a strategic move to hedge against potential market downturns.
Devon Energy Corp. (DVN) also stood out as a major purchase, with its position experiencing over a 1200% increase in shares held compared to the prior period. This substantial addition points towards Leuthold Group's view on energy sector opportunities during this time.
In terms of new positions or significantly increased stakes within other sectors, Flex Ltd. (FLEX) was added despite its Technology classification appearing elsewhere, and several ETFs like Antero Resources Corporation (AR), APA Corp., HF Sinclair Corporation (DINO), PBF Energy Inc. (PBF), SPDR Intermediate Term Corpora (SPIB), and WIP were notably increased or newly acquired.
Conversely, Leuthold Group showed decisive selling activity in several stocks during Q2 2026. The firm sold a large portion of its Aptiv PLC (APTV) stake entirely, indicating a lack of confidence or an exit strategy for that position.
Several other holdings saw significant reductions: Gap Inc. (GAP), Flex Ltd. (FLEX), and notably, the Direxion Daily S&P500 Bear 1X ETF (SPDN) experienced a nearly 39% reduction in its stake during this period.
The investor also exited positions in other sectors, including selling shares of SPDR FTSE International Govern (WIP), Deutsche Bank AG (DB), and the Flex Ltd. position which was previously added or significantly increased.
