🪞 Engaged
Hit rate is measured, not predicted: across 2,030 investor-quarters of walk-forward holdout, the name this model ranked first was the investor’s actual next new buy 1.7% of the time, against 0.62% for a name drawn at random from the same board. That is 2.77x chance. The model ranks the whole board; AUC and the rest of the scoring detail are on the how it works page.
Not scored. This board has 1 walk-forward quarter carrying enough new positions to grade, fewer than the 6 this test needs. It is published unscored. Nothing here is a verdict on the investor.

🔮 Predicted next buys: quarter ending 2026-09-30
The model orders Engaged’s candidates for the next 13F filing. No public confirmation yet. The rate beside each name is the model’s own score rewritten as a measured quantity: how often a name in that position turned out to be the next buy across 2,030 investor-quarters of holdout. Picking at random from this board lands 0.62%.
| # | Ticker | Company | Measured hit rate | vs base |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | RRC | Range Resources Corp | 1.8% | 2.9x |
| 2 | FRPT | Freshpet Inc | 1.7% | 2.8x |
| 3 | DHI | Dr Horton Inc | 1.7% | 2.8x |
📉 Predicted exits, conviction fading
Of Engaged’s current disclosed holdings, the names a model flags as most likely to be EXITED or TRIMMED next quarter, before the 13F shows it. Model score (not a calibrated probability), ranked. Holdings as of 2026-06-30.
| Ticker | Company | Weight | Last move | Sell likelihood |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CGNX | Cognex Corp | 7.51% | trimmed last Q | ▲▲ 62 |
| FRPT | Freshpet Inc | 8.76% | just entered | ▲ 60 |
| BL | Blackline Inc | 7.10% | trimmed last Q | ▲ 55 |
⚠️ This predicts the ACTION (whether Engaged reduces the position), not a return and not a short. A 13F shows long positions only, so a “sell” here means exiting or cutting a long, never shorting the stock. Walk-forward validated on the decision (AUC ≈ 0.66), but acting on it is not shown to make money. Research, not advice.

💲 Where they bought: accumulation cost
13F shows holdings, not trade prices. Implied average cost is total value ÷ shares; the zone is the price range that quarter, where they accumulated. “vs cost” is today versus that average. This is where they bought, not a future price.
| Ticker | Avg cost | Accumulation zone | Today | vs cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VFC | $16.68 | $16 to $21 | $12.79 | -23.3% |
| YETI | $49.56 | $36 to $51 | $42.21 | -14.8% |
| EVH | $5.42 | $2 to $6 | $3.69 | -31.9% |
🧬 Factor fingerprint, the style behind the book
65% of Engaged’s day-to-day swings are explained by public, buyable factors (Fama-French 5 + momentum), regressed on their current disclosed book (6 of 6 names, ~406 trading days). Market beta 1.36.
⚠️ This is the part the great investors can’t hide: their style is a tilt toward known factors, and every one of these is sold as a cheap index ETF. Buying the factors gets you most of the book for a few basis points. What’s left after the factors (the residual) is noisy on a single concentrated book and is not a reliable edge, read this as transparency about the style you’re copying, not a secret signal. Loadings are in-sample on current static weights, U.S. long positions only. Research, not advice.
