Tested. Our top-⁠scored stocks returned 2.2x the average stock over the next month. How we tested it

How the holdings are dated. Funds report their holdings to the SEC on Form N-PORT as of each month's end, and the SEC makes the last month of each quarter public within 60 days of the quarter's end. XLK's list: SEC Form N-PORT, holdings as filed for Jun 30, 2026 (filed Aug 28, 2026); weights at Oct 23's close. QQQ's list: SEC Form N-PORT, holdings as filed for Jun 30, 2026 (filed Aug 28, 2026); weights at Oct 23's close. Each night the weights are worked out again from the filed share counts at the latest close; a holding with no price (cash, a bond) keeps its value as filed. Scores: Breakaway's, 15 minutes behind, as on each stock's page.
