Also, the fund boosted its position in **MasTec, Inc.** (NYSE:MTZ) by 200,000 shares, bringing its total to 925,000. Meanwhile, as of Dec. 31, 2025, the fund slashed shares in **Comfort Systems USA, Inc.** (NYSE:FIX) by 47% to 105,000. ## **APG**: Recent Key Events - APi Group reported first-quarter EPS of 32 cents, beating analyst estimates of 30 cents and rising 28% year over year (Y/Y).

The near-term picture is choppier, though, with the stock trading 7.4% below its 20-day SMA ($46.51) and 1.6% below its 50-day SMA ($43.77), which often signals consolidation after a strong advance. **Top ETF Exposure** - **iShares Morningstar Small-Cap Growth ETF** (NYSE:ISCG): 0.56% Weight - **Adaptiv Select ETF** (NYSE:ADPV): 4.04% Weight - **Capital Group US Large Value ETF** (NYSE:CGVV): 3.11% Weight ## **MTZ**: Recent Key Events - MasTec reported first-quarter EPS of $1.39, surpassing analyst estimates of $0.99 and rising sharply from $0.51 a year earlier.
