COWZ reconstituted after business closed Friday and added 27 new stocks. It's now in the middle of a multi-day rebalancing process, but total quarterly turnover was about 30%. The changes improved COWZ's price-cash flow ratio, and it now holds stocks trading far from their 52-week high prices. It did so by boosting Energy sector exposure by nearly 6%. Materials and Financials were the key offsets, but crucially, the portfolio's quality did not improve. After its own quarterly reconstitution, VFLO keeps its advantage on fundamentals.

COWZ underwent its quarterly reconstitution after business close Friday, substituting 29 stocks that significantly changed its composition. Notably, Technology exposure increased by 9% and Energy decreased by 5%. COWZ also added many small- and mid-cap stocks and now has 30% allocated to stocks with market caps under $10 billion, the most since I began coverage. There are important risk and quality implications investors should consider when buying smaller companies. To demonstrate, I will compare COWZ's fundamentals against three key free-cash-flow players: VFLO, FLOW, and COWS.
