Trian Fund Management just filed its Q2 13F, showing heavy concentration in GE Aerospace and 3M spin-off Solventum.

Portfolio Allocations:
GE (GE Aerospace): 57.2% ($1.5B value / 4.0M shares)
SOLV (Solventum): 24.1%

WEN (Wendy's): 9.6%

GEHC (GE HealthCare): 7.5%

IVZ (Invesco): 1.6%

Key Takeaways:

1. Massive Conviction in $GE: Holding 57% in a single stock is aggressive even for activist funds. Trian is clearly betting on long-term commercial engine demand and margin expansion post-spin-off.
2. The GE Spin-off Thread: Combined, $GE and $GEHC represent nearly 65% of Trian's total equity portfolio, showing Peltz is sticking with the value created from the original GE breakup.
3. Turnaround Exposure: $SOLV makes up almost a quarter of the portfolio as Trian works its restructuring playbook on the healthcare spin-off.

Pulled the latest SEC 10-K footnote disclosures for Lockheed Martin, RTX, and Northrop Grumman to evaluate their actual geographic revenue concentration.

The Revenue Split:
Northrop Grumman (NOC): 84% US / 16% Foreign

Lockheed Martin ($LMT): 74% US / 26% Foreign

RTX Corp ($RTX): 53% US / 47% Foreign

Key Structural Takeaways:

1. Northrop is an almost direct bet on US DoD appropriations (B-21, Sentinel, space systems). Extremely low FX or foreign export risk, but zero commercial hedge.

2. RTX gets nearly half its revenue outside the US due to Pratt & Whitney and Collins Aerospace (commercial airline flight hours), making it less dependent on single-nation defense budgets.

3. Lockheed sits in the middle, balancing domestic platform delivery with foreign military sales (FMS) for the F-35 and HIMARS.

A overview of the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (PCEPI), the Fed's primary inflation gauge

Latest Metrics:

Headline PCE (YoY): +3.7%

Core PCE (YoY): +3.3%

Core PCE (MoM): +0.1%

Key Structural Distinctions:

PCE uses a chained index that accounts for consumer substitution (e.g., consumers buying lower-cost alternatives when prices rise).

Includes employer-paid healthcare and spending made on behalf of households, unlike out-of-pocket CPI measurements.

Core PCE remains the official benchmark used by the FOMC to assess progress toward its 2.0% inflation target.

The US dollar index remains above pre-2020 levels, creating top-line currency translation drag for US multinationals with foreign sales.

Geographic revenue exposure from recent SEC 10-K filings:

1. Colgate-Palmolive (CL)
   International Revenue: 75%
   US Revenue: 25%
   Foreign risk: High exposure to Latin America and Asia-Pacific currencies.

2. Coca-Cola (KO)
   International Revenue: 67%
   US Revenue: 33% ($19.1B)
   Foreign risk: Two-thirds of concentrate and product sales exposed to conversion back to USD.

3. Procter & Gamble (PG)
   International Revenue: 58%
   US Revenue: 42% ($41.7B)
   Foreign risk: Currency translation reduced FY24 net sales by 2.0% ($1.6B reduction).

4. PepsiCo (PEP)
   International Revenue: 42%
   US Revenue: 58% ($52.2B)
   Foreign risk: Lowest international exposure among major staples.

Operational impact:
Top-line translation drag does not equal an equivalent hit to net income. Local price increases and localized supply chains offset roughly half of top-line currency drag before reaching net margins.
