Woodstock Corp Q4 2022 vs. Q1 2023 13F Holdings Comparison

Every quarter, institutional investors who manage over $100 million in assets are required to file a report with the Securities and Exchange Commission known as a Form 13F. This form lists all their holdings at the end of the quarter, which provides insight into where the smart money is invested. One such investor is the Woodstock Corp, which recently filed its 13F for Q4 2022 and Q1 2023. In this blog post, we will summarize the changes in holdings of the Woodstock Corp during this period.

Firstly, let's take a look at the top ten holdings by value as of Q4 2022. In the first position was Microsoft Corp (MSFT), which accounted for $41,747 million or 19.3% of the total portfolio value. In the second position was Apple Inc (AAPL) with $24,610 million or 11.4% of the portfolio value, followed by NVIDIA Corp (NVDA) at $15,568 million or 7.2%. These stocks were followed by Alphabet Inc Class C (GOOG), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), and others.

Looking at the changes in holdings over the next quarter, we can see that Microsoft Corp (MSFT) saw a decrease of 1% from 174,077 shares to 172,811 shares. However, this was offset by an increase in the value of its holdings from $41,747 million to $49,821 million, a significant 19.3% increase. Similarly, Apple Inc (AAPL) saw no significant changes in the number of shares held, with a slight decrease from 189,412 shares to 189,103 shares. Still, the value of the holdings increased from $24,610 million to $31,183 million, an impressive 26.7% increase.

The third-largest holding in the Woodstock Corp's portfolio is NVIDIA Corp (NVDA), which saw a 0.8% decrease in the number of shares held from 106,528 to 105,692. However, the value of the holdings increased from $15,568 million to $29,358 million, reflecting an 88.6% increase. Alphabet Inc Class C (GOOG) also saw a slight decrease in the number of shares held from 172,825 shares to 166,750 shares. Still, the value of the holdings increased from $15,334 million to $17,342 million, representing a 13.1% increase.

One notable holding that saw a decrease in both the number of shares held and the value of the holdings was CVS Health Corp (CVS), which saw a decrease of 0.1% in the number of shares held from 113,026 to 112,910 and a significant decrease in the value of holdings from $10,532 million to $8,390 million, a 20.3% decrease. This decrease in holdings is in line with the broader trend in the healthcare sector, which has been underperforming in recent times.

Other holdings that saw a decline from Q4 2022 to Q1 2023 include Pfizer Inc (PFE), 3M Co (MMM), and Chevron Corp (CVX), which saw a decrease in both the number of shares held and the value of the holdings. Conversely, there were several holdings that saw an increase in both the number of shares held and the value of the holdings, including Amazon.com Inc (AMZN) and iShares Russell Mid-Cap ETF (IWR).

Overall, the Woodstock Corp's portfolio appears to be well-diversified and relatively stable over the quarter, with some fluctuations in holdings as expected. The fund's top holdings remained relatively unchanged, with Microsoft Corp (MSFT), Apple Inc (AAPL), and NVIDIA Corp (NVDA) accounting for the largest share of its portfolio. It will be interesting to see how Woodstock Corp's portfolio evolves in the coming quarters and whether it remains on track to deliver strong returns for its investors.
