Dear Community,
here are the sectors of my depot
I think I have too much consumer staples...and too little healthcare!
I also think I have too much tech in my portfolio and I'm missing strong healthcare companies.
I would like to $LULU (+1.1%)
$EKT (+0.05%)
$ZBRA (+1.36%)
$ADM (+1.28%) and $MNST (-0.16%) throw them out.
$PEP (+0.05%)
$CAT (+0.86%) I would buy more shares before adding new ones.
Which stocks from the financial sector do you find interesting?
i would also like to reduce the size of my portfolio so that i have a better overview.
Thank you very much!
what would you do specifically
Hello dear community,
I have taken a closer look at my portfolio
I have some problem candidates that have not been performing for some time or 1-2 years
Do you have any opinions on the stocks or would you reallocate here?
thanks 🤟🏼🤟🏼
You have listed stocks here that fit a growth strategy and others that fit a dividend strategy. With the growth strategy, of course, you look at the share price performance - with the dividend strategy, the share price performance is of secondary importance and you look at the CF or, in the case of your shares, the dividend growth over time.
You should therefore first know what you want and then you can get help.

Intel curbs expansion + Lululemon earns more than expected and lowers outlook + Apple prepares for AI sales push + Delivery Hero takes subsidiary Talabat public
Intel $INTC (+1.8%) examines various options with banks due to difficult situation.
Intel is also looking into spinning off production.
Intel could significantly scale back expansion plans such as the construction of new plants.
Apple $AAPL (+1.34%) rose 1.5% after the tech giant was seen ordering components for a much higher number of iPhones than last year, suggesting it is preparing for an artificial intelligence-driven sales surge.
Lululemon Athletica $LULU (+1.1%) is struggling with a further slowdown in its business in the Americas region. The sportswear manufacturer lowered its outlook for the year as a whole. The Group exceeded profit expectations in the second quarter. Lululemon now only expects sales of 10.38 to 10.48 billion US dollars instead of 10.7 to 10.8 billion dollars. Earnings per share are now expected to be between 13.95 and 14.15 dollars instead of 14.27 to 14.47 dollars. In the second quarter of the past financial year, profit rose from 342 million US dollars to 393 million US dollars. Earnings per share amounted to 3.15 dollars, exceeding analysts' expectations of 2.93 dollars. Turnover rose by 7 percent to 2.4 billion dollars. In the Americas region, sales rose by only 1 percent, while international sales climbed by 29 percent. Growth on a like-for-like basis amounted to 2 percent across the Group.
Delivery Hero $DHER (+3.05%) rose by 12.2 percent following quarterly figures and IPO plans for its subsidiary Talabat. The market hopes that the IPO will result in the individual parts being valued higher than the company as a whole. The delivery service wants to list Talabat, which is mainly active in countries in the Middle East and North Africa, on the stock exchange in Dubai this year, while retaining a majority stake.
