Intel and McKesson Lead the New Buying
Intel saw the biggest share addition in raw numbers. Xponance now holds 683,676 shares after buying 51,482 new ones. Those shares were worth $25.228 million at quarter end WatchlistNews. Institutional investors as a group own 64.53% of Intel's stock — a sign that big money is slowly returning to the once-struggling chipmaker.
McKesson got 2,495 new shares from Xponance, bringing its total to 40,926 shares valued at $33.571 million WatchlistNews. Institutional investors own a massive 85.07% of McKesson — one of the highest ownership rates among large U.S. companies. That makes it a so-called "fortress stock" in drug distribution.
McKesson Dividend Locks In Xponance for $33,559 Payout
Xponance's McKesson buy carries a direct cash reward. The company set June 1, 2026 as the record date for its quarterly dividend. Investors who held shares on that date will receive $0.82 per share on July 1 WatchlistNews. That works out to an annualized dividend of $3.28 per share.
Based on its 40,926-share position, Xponance is set to collect roughly $33,559 in dividend income on July 1. It is a modest but reliable return — exactly the kind of predictable income that makes McKesson attractive to large institutional buyers.
ADP Stake Grows as Labor Market Stays Tight
Xponance added 8,583 shares of Automatic Data Processing, ending the quarter with 110,246 shares worth $28.359 million WatchlistNews. ADP runs payroll and HR software for hundreds of thousands of businesses. Institutional investors own 80.03% of ADP's stock. Analysts upgraded the stock in June 2026, following stronger-than-expected quarterly earnings.
The 8.4% increase signals that Xponance expects the U.S. labor market to stay active. When businesses keep hiring, they keep paying for payroll services. That makes ADP a reliable earner in most economic conditions, not just booms.
Newmont Draws a Crowd of Institutional Gold Buyers
Xponance was not alone in adding Newmont shares. Brighton Jones grew its Newmont position by 15.7%, reaching 13,606 shares. Woodline Partners LP went further — boosting its stake by 40.7% to 96,182 shares WatchlistNews. That level of coordinated buying suggests a shared institutional view on gold as a hedge against inflation or global instability.
Xponance's own 4.9% increase in Newmont is smaller by comparison. But taken together, the buying by multiple firms points to growing confidence in the world's largest gold miner. Rising operational costs in Australian and African mines remain a risk, but the institutional buying wave may act as a valuation floor for the stock.
