All 34 filings the analyst filed here are shown.

An analyst model reads every 8-K from a universe company under $5B and files it under the theme it enters or reports inside, quoting the filing. This says who walked in and what they said; whether entrants outperform is a separate question we have not measured.

Membership is a current classification, not a history: a name that entered the theme last month reads as if it were always here. Entrants come from 8-Ks of universe companies under $5B only. Nothing on this page is a recommendation; the tape says what is unusual, the voices say who is in, the record says how our own picks did, the filings say who walked in.
