AMOM · Weight decrease · 2d
The weight for Quanta Services (PWR) within AMOM exhibits a sequence of gradual reductions, from 2.43% to 2.34% over several trading days, followed by minor recalibrations resulting in a net decrease to 2.35%. This measured scaling back aligns with Qraft Technologies' multi-signal momentum approach, which prioritizes names likely to extend their upward runs. PWR's recent 30-day price decline of 12.6%, following a period of strong gains, suggests a softening in its short-term price trend momentum, a key input for the fund's model. Given the company's elevated valuation metrics—a PER of 85.37 and PBR of 6.38—the AI manager's signals likely indicated that the prior momentum for this specific stock was decelerating, prompting a rebalancing in the concentrated momentum sleeve to reduce exposure. The weekly rebalancing allows for these precise, iterative adjustments to PWR's weighting as its momentum characteristics evolve.

AMOM · Weight decrease · 3d
Trading at $646.70, PWR is currently 82% off its 52-week high of $785.24 after a strong 71.0% one-year return, yet it has seen a 9.1% decline over the last 30 days. This recent negative price trajectory appears to be a key factor for the AMOM ETF, whose multi-signal momentum composite aims to identify stocks positioned to extend their runs. The fund's AI likely detected a weakening in PWR's overall momentum—combining the short-term price decline with signals related to its high PER of 89.08 and PBR of 6.38, despite a 21.09% revenue growth—suggesting reduced conviction in its future upward trajectory. Consequently, the observed consecutive weight decreases for PWR in AMOM's concentrated portfolio signify that the AI manager perceives declining positive momentum, prompting a calculated reduction of exposure in this industrials stock.

AMOM · Weight decrease · 2d
Qraft's AMOM ETF, designed to identify and hold approximately 50 US large caps expected to extend their runs through a multi-signal momentum composite, has been reducing its exposure to PWR. The consecutive weight decrease, observed from July 9th to July 10th, reflects the conviction inherent in a fund making daily adjustments within its weekly rebalance cycle. This adjustment is likely driven by the company's recent price action, with PWR recording a -9.8% return over the last 30 days. Such a negative short-term price trend, particularly for a stock trading at a PER of 89.08, signals to the AI composite that the stock's run may not be extending, prompting the reduction in its concentrated momentum sleeve.

AMOM · Weight increase · 2d
Qraft Technologies' AMOM, designed to identify US large caps expected to extend their runs via a multi-signal momentum composite, has indicated increasing conviction in PWR. The consecutive weight increases from July 6-8, even following a recent 30-day price correction of -10.2%, reflects the AI's re-evaluation within its weekly rebalancing schedule for its ~50-stock concentrated portfolio. This move suggests the fund’s combined signals for price trends, earnings revisions, and fundamental momentum are detecting renewed positive drivers for the Industrials sector company. The AI appears to view the current price of $666.33, still 85% of its 52-week high, as a point from which PWR's longer-term run, which saw a +78.1% return over one year, is poised for continuation, possibly supported by its 21.09% revenue growth.

AMOM · Weight decrease · 2d
PWR's PER of 93.78 and PBR of 6.38 indicate elevated valuation multiples, which for Qraft AMOM’s multi-signal momentum approach necessitates sustained or accelerating fundamental drivers like its 21.09% revenue growth and 12.91% ROE to continue an existing run. Despite prior strong performance reflected in its 90-day (+19.8%) and 1-year (+84.3%) returns, the ETF's strategy, which seeks names expected to extend their runs, would be sensitive to any deceleration signals across its composite metrics. A recent -6.0% 30-day return for PWR, occurring while the stock trades at 86% of its 52-week high, suggests a shift in price momentum. This recent price weakening, combined with a potential signal from earnings revisions or fundamental momentum that PWR's growth extension may be moderating relative to its high valuation, precipitated Qraft AMOM’s consecutive weight decrease in PWR from 2.49% to 2.40% between June 24 and July 6.

AMOM · Weight decrease · 2d
PWR's PER of 93.66 and PBR of 6.38, supported by 21.09% revenue growth and 12.91% ROE, initially aligned with Qraft Technologies' AMOM strategy to select US large caps expected to extend their runs, indicating it was a strong momentum play within its Industrials sector. However, the detected pattern of consecutive weight decreases for QUANTA SERVICES INC, particularly from 2.5500% on June 16th down to 2.4300% on June 18th and then again from 2.4900% on June 24th to 2.4500% on June 26th, reflects the multi-signal momentum composite reacting to a weakening trend. This specific rebalance timing, occurring while PWR registered a 30-day return of -11.8%, suggests AMOM's signals indicated a shift away from extending its prior upward trajectory, despite its longer-term 90-day and 1-year gains of +32.5% and +92.0%. Given AMOM's method picks names expected to extend their runs rather than mechanically holding a top quintile, the fund's consistent, though sometimes slight, reduction in exposure to PWR at its current $687.87 price level signifies a tactical reduction of conviction in its short-term momentum.

AMOM · Weight decrease · 2d
Qraft Technologies' AMOM, which targets ~50 US large caps expected to extend their runs through its multi-signal momentum composite, registered a consecutive weight decrease for Quanta Services (PWR) into the June 18th rebalance. This action reflects the fund's conviction-based approach to position changes within its concentrated momentum sleeve, signaling a detected shift in PWR's underlying momentum. The recent 30-day return of -6.5% for PWR likely triggered a deceleration in its price trend signal, crucial for an ETF focused on identifying extending runs. Such a short-term reversal, coupled with the stock's high PER of 96.96, would prompt the AI manager to reduce exposure if the current momentum is perceived to be faltering rather than continuing. With weekly rebalances, the algorithm can swiftly adjust positions when its diverse signals indicate that a stock is no longer expected to prolong its upward trajectory.

AMOM · Weight decrease · 2d
PWR's elevated PER of 89.61 and PBR of 6.38, despite a 21.09% revenue growth and 12.91% ROE, signify that AMOM's multi-signal momentum composite would require sustained market conviction to extend its run. The AI-managed fund, which picks names expected to extend their runs rather than mechanically holding the top quintile, likely registered a shift in its composite signals for PWR around the time its price was at 90% of its 52-week high and experiencing a -4.6% 30-day return. This softening in shorter-term price trends, potentially combined with shifts in earnings revisions or alternative-data signals, prompted Qraft Technologies' concentrated momentum sleeve to initiate a series of reductions that led to consecutive decreases from 2.59% on June 9th to 2.49% by June 11th. Such a move reflects the portfolio's design, where position changes carry conviction, indicating the AI's models detected a deceleration in PWR's momentum dynamics sufficient to warrant a reduction in exposure within the Industrials sector.

AMOM · Accumulation · 5d
The observed gradual accumulation pattern in PWR's weight within the AMOM ETF, characterized by an initial increase from 1.87% to 2.50% and subsequent measured adjustments hovering around 2.5% to 2.6% over the reported period, reflects a nuanced conviction. This strategic allocation increase for Quanta Services, a stock delivering a 90-day return of +36.2% and a one-year return of +91.6%, aligns with Qraft's multi-signal momentum composite, which seeks companies expected to extend their price runs. Despite trading at a PER of 89.61, the company's 21.09% revenue growth and its position at 83% of its 52-week high indicate the AI model likely detected strong fundamental and alternative-data signals supporting continued upward trajectory, rather than merely targeting top quintile performers. The concentrated nature of AMOM's ~50 US large caps and its weekly rebalancing schedule further underscore that these weight changes for PWR are deliberate, reflecting the system's assessment of persistent momentum for the Industrials sector component.

PWR's valuation, marked by a PER of 95.7 and PBR of 6.38, alongside a 21.09% revenue growth and 12.91% ROE, aligns with Qraft's AMOM multi-signal momentum composite seeking names positioned to extend their runs. The fund, which maintains a concentrated momentum sleeve and rebalances weekly, initiated a significant accumulation on PWR, increasing its weight from 1.87% to 2.50% on June 2nd, followed by further incremental additions to 2.63% by June 5th. This strategic increase occurred while PWR was trading at $691.95, near 88% of its 52-week high, following 90-day returns of +45.8% and 1-year returns of +103.3%. The gradual accumulation suggests AMOM's price trend and fundamental momentum signals indicated sustained upward potential for Quanta Services.

AMOM · Sudden change · 1d
The weight for PWR in AMOM demonstrated a multi-day gradual reduction from 2.06% to 1.87% before experiencing a pronounced increase to 2.50% on June 2nd. This initial downtick likely reflected the fund's multi-signal momentum composite detecting a brief moderation in certain indicators, perhaps related to price trend consolidation after PWR's 90-day return of +50.6% or a temporary adjustment in fundamental momentum signals. The subsequent significant re-allocation, which boosted the weighting beyond its prior level, indicates Qraft Technologies' system re-evaluated its inputs and identified renewed conviction for the Industrials firm. With PWR trading at 90% of its 52-week high and exhibiting 21.09% revenue growth, the concentrated momentum sleeve of AMOM decided to extend its position, aligning with its strategy to select names expected to continue their runs.

AMOM · Weight decrease · 4d
The gradual, then accelerating, consecutive weight decrease in PWR from late May into early June points to a nuanced shift in conviction. Operating a concentrated momentum sleeve focused on names expected to extend their runs, AMOM's multi-signal model likely detected a moderation in the probability of further price acceleration for PWR, particularly after its substantial 90-day return of 46.7% and its current price approaching 88% of its 52-week high. The methodical reduction suggests the AI manager is actively rebalancing due to a reassessment of future upside potential, weighing the company's high PER of 95.59 against its 21.09% revenue growth, indicating that the prior momentum is seen as having peaked or overextended according to the fund's specific criteria. This controlled exit from an asset with strong recent performance reflects the model's forward-looking approach to momentum continuation.

QRFT · Weight decrease · 2d
QRFT's AI, which incorporates traditional factors like value, likely detected an imbalance in PWR, given its PER of 95.59 and PBR of 6.38, figures that suggest a stretched valuation even alongside a 21.09% revenue growth and 12.91% ROE. This rebalancing activity, specifically the consecutive weight decrease beginning May 29th, 2026, coincided with PWR's significant price gains, having posted a +13.6% return over 30 days and nearing 88% of its 52-week high of $785.24. For a fund designed as a diversified large-cap core with an AI tilt, the system's reevaluation of PWR could stem from its blend of proprietary alternative-data overlays with its low-volatility and momentum factors, signaling a reduced conviction in the stock's risk-adjusted appeal at its current $687.48 price.

PWR, currently priced at $691.40, sits at 88% of its 52-week high, having returned -3.2% over the last 30 days despite a 91.8% gain over the past year. This recent softening after significant appreciation likely influenced AIEQ's decision. Amplify's EquBot, powered by IBM Watson NLP, ingests daily news, filings, and social posts, detecting shifts in sentiment or fundamental outlook. With PWR trading at a PER of 93.78 and a PBR of 6.38, even with 21.09% revenue growth, the AI system could have signaled that these elevated multiples were no longer justified given the latest data. The fund's daily rebalancing and high-turnover nature allowed it to swiftly de-emphasize this position once the model's output, filtered through EquBot's risk overlay, indicated a decreased ranking, resulting in its removal from the portfolio.

PWR is currently priced at $707.74, sitting at approximately 90% of its 52-week high, despite a recent 30-day return of -4.6% after posting a 1-year return of +104.8%. AIEQ's strategy, which leverages IBM Watson NLP to continuously ingest news, filings, and social posts across thousands of equities, likely detected affirming sentiment and fundamental strength for PWR during this minor pullback. With its portfolio rebalancing daily and among the highest turnover in the AI ETF universe, the fund quickly adjusted its position, increasing the weighting from 0.45% to 0.48% after a brief dip. This move indicates the algorithm's conviction that the company's 21.09% revenue growth and 12.91% ROE, alongside positive market signals, justified a higher allocation, even with a PER of 89.61 and the stock trading near its peak. The fund's hybrid style, combining fundamentals with sentiment, enabled it to act on these incoming data streams almost immediately.

Buffett-style framework
Some AI ETFs, notably AIEQ and AMOM, have shown accumulation and increasing weight trends in Quanta Services. This contrasts with the framework's "Fail" verdict, which indicates concerns regarding the company's financial health and a lack of margin of safety at its current high valuation.
- Circle of CompetenceQuanta Services operates in critical infrastructure sectors (power, pipelines, communications) where demand for construction, maintenance, and upgrade services is relatively stable and predictable over the long term, allowing for reasonable projection of unit economics.
- Economic MoatQuanta Services benefits from significant scale, established client relationships creating switching costs for critical infrastructure projects, and the high barriers to entry inherent in its capital-intensive and regulated industries.
- ManagementInformation on management's candor, capital allocation discipline, and specific skin in the game is not available in the provided data to make a definitive assessment.
- Financial HealthThe most recent Return on Equity (ROE) of 12.91% falls short of the framework's 10-year average target of 15%, and comprehensive data on 10-year ROE trends, operating margins, debt levels, and owner earnings is unavailable.
- Margin of SafetyWith a Price-to-Earnings ratio of 89.61 and an EV/EBITDA of 66.21, the current market price does not appear to offer a defensible margin of safety relative to a conservative estimate of intrinsic value.
Quanta Services operates within the analyst's circle of competence due to the predictable nature of critical infrastructure demand and appears to possess an economic moat from scale and switching costs. However, the company fails on financial health criteria due to its most recent Return on Equity falling short of long-term targets and insufficient data for a comprehensive assessment. Furthermore, the very high valuation multiples indicate no margin of safety, leading to an overall "Fail" verdict.
