This page tracks quarterly shares, estimated market value, portfolio weight, filing dates, and disclosure-aligned stock prices directly from SEC EDGAR 13F filings. Older history is available after unlock; the visible window still shows the most recent pattern.
This page is designed to answer the real investor question behind a 13F filing: how meaningful was WELCH & FORBES LLC's position in MCDONALDS CORP, and how did that conviction change over time? You can read the holding window, peak weight, latest reported size, disclosure timing, and quarter-by-quarter changes without piecing the story together from raw SEC rows.
MCD was reported at 1.13% of portfolio in the most recent visible filing.
Peak weight helps separate a token disclosure from a real conviction holding the fund genuinely cared about.
Longer holding windows often tell a very different story from short-lived tactical trades or one-quarter experiments.
Knowing that a fund owned a stock is useful. Knowing whether it was a 0.20% placeholder or a true high-conviction position is where the signal actually starts.
