ING Groep Expands Holdings in Boeing, Deere, Comcast, and Sherwin-Williams Amid Sector Rebalancing
ING Groep NV disclosed major 13F-driven increases in several U.S. holdings, including sharp additions to Deere & Company and Boeing as well as sizable stake growth in Comcast and Sherwin-Williams. In Deere, ING boosted its share position to about 85,800 shares, while in Boeing it expanded to roughly 772,400 shares, reflecting heightened exposure to industrial and aerospace cyclicals. ING also increased its Comcast stake to about 1.86 million shares and raised Sherwin-Williams to about 75,800 shares, with both names showing heavy institutional ownership. The filings come alongside a mixed backdrop from analysts: Deere received both higher and lower price targets from different firms, and Sherwin-Williams also saw shifting targets while retaining generally constructive stances at several houses. Overall, the updates suggest ING is rebalancing across sectors rather than concentrating solely in one theme, with the changes grounded in recent SEC filings and corroborated by other institutional investors’ activity.
Key Points
For Deere, ING’s 13F not only boosted its stake to 85,791 shares (+275.6%), but the disclosure also valued the position at about $39.942 million and noted that institutional and hedge funds own 68.58% of the company’s stock. Analyst coverage cited in the same context was mixed but specific: BMO raised its Deere target to $500 (from $460) and kept a “market perform” rating, while Citigroup cut its target to $595 (from $625) and assigned a “neutral” rating.
In Boeing, ING’s filing characterized the stake as a smaller but meaningful allocation—772,400 shares worth about $167.703 million, with Boeing making up roughly 1.0% of ING’s holdings and ranking as its 20th-largest position. The article’s analyst rundown also included specific bullish rating/targets, such as Wells Fargo calling Boeing “overweight” with a $250 price objective and Wolfe Research assigning an “outperform” rating with a $275 target.
For Comcast, beyond the stake increase (to 1,860,452 shares worth $55.609 million), the article added company-financial context including a P/E ratio of 4.69 and beta of 0.67, plus liquidity ratios (quick ratio and current ratio both listed at 0.87). It also reported Comcast’s quarterly dividend timing and amount: $0.33 per share paid July 22, with shareholders of record on July 1.
For Sherwin-Williams, ING’s Form 13F showed it owned 75,840 shares after adding 70,225 during the quarter, valuing the position at about $24.574 million, and indicated institutional ownership at 77.67%. The cited analyst commentary again provided concrete figures: RBC lowered its Sherwin-Williams price objective from $390 to $376 while keeping an “outperform” rating, and BMO set a $355 target with an “outperform” rating.
