AI Analysis · Q3 2026

Principal Financial Group reported $187.2B across 4,452 holdings for Q1 2026, down from $195.9B. Less tech-concentrated than most peers of its size, Principal's top names span NVIDIA (3.69%), Microsoft (2.97%), Apple (2.89%) but also Brookfield Corp (1.38%), TransDigm (1.25%) and Hilton (1.07%). The quarter trimmed Microsoft (-$1.6B), KKR and Hilton while building Equinix (+$445M) and new positions in Johnson & Johnson ($824M), LPL Financial ($793M), Regency Centers ($757M) and Walmart ($737M).

A more balanced top. NVIDIA (3.69%), Microsoft (2.97%) and Apple (2.89%) lead, but the next tier is unusually diverse — Brookfield Corp (1.38%), TransDigm (1.25%), Hilton Worldwide (1.07%) and Equinix (1.04%) sit alongside the usual platforms. Technology ($22.0B) only narrowly leads Financial Services ($18.8B) and Consumer Cyclical ($17.1B) at the sector level.

The quarter's rebalancing. Microsoft was the largest reduction at roughly $1.6B, with KKR (-$522M) also trimmed. On the consumer-cyclical side the manager took profits in Hilton (-$684M), TransDigm (-$547M) and Heico (-$501M). Equinix was added (+$445M), reinforcing a data-center-REIT theme.
