These additions include a Spanish renewable energy stock, a Swiss dental implant manufacturer, a German online real estate search platform, and a Dutch specialist chemicals company. One of these additions is a defense call with a 143% upside. Separately, Wells Fargo (WFC) was added to Goldman Sachs' conviction list.
