Three names in our 383-stock board closed with double-digit gains, led by Accenture's 15.6% jump to $211.97, a move that size is rare for a mega-cap consultant. The downside was far tamer, with AMC's 8.2% slide the worst of it.

Bitcoin miners owned Thursday's close, led by Marathon Digital finishing 13.5% higher, with Cipher Mining and Iren both up 7% or more. Large-cap losses ran heavier than usual, with Qualcomm off 5.66% and General Motors down 4.93%.
Cipher Mining closed the session up 10.4% at $16.66, the widest gain across 111 priority names. At the other end, ON Semiconductor gave up 8.9% and Diamondback Energy 7.8%, a roughly 19-point spread between the best and worst names on the day.
Zscaler finished Monday up 16.8% at $192.17 while Coherent shed 12.5%. Four of the top five gainers are cybersecurity names, and four of the five losers are chip and infrastructure plays.
Two years into Eric Bleeker's AI Portfolio pick, Coherent has turned $10,000 into roughly $35,080, and it survived a 30% drawdown in spring 2025 to get there. Anyone who sold during that slump missed the optical transceiver demand wave that followed.
Fabrinet closed down 20% at $477.37, the deepest single-day loss in a 110-name priority list, with optical peers Applied Optoelectronics and Coherent also off double digits. Duolingo led all gainers at 8.3%.
Nearly 16 points separated the best and worst names in a 110-stock board at Monday's close, with SanDisk up 8% at $1,773 and Clover Health down almost 8%. Hardware led, small-cap growth lagged.

96% of NVIDIA's disclosed equity book sits in five names, with a rival chipmaker as the single largest holding as of June 30. Only eight positions total, so every stake here is a deliberate strategic bet.
Workday closed 18.7% higher at $208.09, the biggest single-session move across our 110-stock priority list. Software names took four of the five top spots, while Coherent and Cipher Mining each shed more than 7%.
Down 4.4% to $340 in the session right after Coherent's Q4 2026 earnings beat, so buyers are treating good numbers as a chance to take profits in an AI-optics leader. Keep an eye on whether $340 holds.
