After 3 months in 2026, I heard more noise than quality information. Therefore, I don't intend to make any modifications to my portfolio at this point.

I will likely add more of Broadcom as I'm not yet fully invested at 3% of the portfolio in this security.

Canadian Natural Resources is downgraded to Hold after a ~50% rally, with valuation now near intrinsic value and rising risks. CNQ maintains strong fundamentals: great management, resilient assets, disciplined capital allocation, low break-evens, and a net debt/EBITDA of 0.7x.

Energy remains my top sector for long-term alpha, driven by prudent capital allocation, dwindling reserves, and underestimated demand growth. Despite recent outperformance, I am not chasing momentum; I plan to buy on weakness when geopolitical risk premiums fade.

Oil and gas prices will already contribute to the company's profit growth and accelerate share buybacks.

I highlight a diversified set of global dividend stocks—Nestlé, Banco Santander, Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft, Canadian Natural Resources, Allianz, Petrobras, British American Tobacco, and Bank of Nova Scotia—for income and portfolio risk reduction.
