How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

Key contributors to (↑) and detractors from (↓) performance, relative to the S&P 500® Index (the Index):

↓ An out-of-index position in Shift4 Payments, Inc. hurt returns on missed earnings, Global Blue integration issues, valuation pressure, and payment-sector headwinds

↓ An out-of-index position in Blue Owl Capital, Inc., hurt returns on missed earnings, Business Development Company redemption concerns, and private credit jitters. The position was sold by year-end

↓ An overweight position in Gartner, Inc. hurt returns as government spending cuts and artificial intelligence (AI) alternatives challenged growth expectations. The position was sold by year-end

↓ Among sectors, stock selection in industrials, financials, communication services, and real estate detracted the most from relative Fund performance

↑ An out-of-index position in Mr. Cooper Group, Inc., helped returns as stock soared due to its acquisition by Rocket Companies, which the Fund owned at year-end

↑ An overweight position in Lam Research Corp. aided returns as the stock rose on surging semiconductor equipment demand tied to the AI boom

↑ An overweight position in Amphenol Corp. helped returns as earnings beats from surging AI data center demand and strategic acquisitions sent shares higher

↑ Among sectors, stock selection in consumer staples, health care, and consumer discretionary, and an overweight to communication services helped returns the most

1 Significant Accounting Policies
Stock Portfolio (the Portfolio) is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Portfolio's investment objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity securities. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At December 31, 2025, Eaton Vance Stock Fund and Eaton Vance Balanced Fund held an interest of 13.0% and 87.0%, respectively, in the Portfolio.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Portfolio. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The Portfolio is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
A Investment Valuation-The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or fair value of investments.
Equity Securities.Equity securities listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price on the day of valuation or, if no sales took place on such date, at the mean between the closing bid and ask prices on the exchange where such securities are principally traded. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices.
Foreign Currencies. Foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by a third party pricing service. The pricing service uses a proprietary model to determine the exchange rate. Inputs to the model include reported trades and implied bid/ask spreads.
Other.Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day.
Fair Valuation.In connection with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Trustees have designated the Portfolio's investment adviser as its valuation designee. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued by the investment adviser, as valuation designee, at fair value using methods that most fairly reflect the security's "fair value", which is the amount that the Portfolio might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security's disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company's or entity's financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
B Investment Transactions-Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
C Income-Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio's understanding of the applicable countries' tax rules and rates.
D Federal and Other Taxes-The Portfolio has elected to be treated as a partnership for federal tax purposes. No provision is made by the Portfolio for federal or state taxes on any taxable income of the Portfolio because each investor in the Portfolio is ultimately responsible for the payment of any taxes on its share of taxable income. Since at least one of the Portfolio's investors is a regulated investment company that invests all or substantially all of its assets in the Portfolio, the Portfolio normally must satisfy the applicable source of income and diversification requirements (under the Internal Revenue Code) in order for its investors to satisfy them. The Portfolio will allocate, at least annually among its investors, each investor's distributive share of the Portfolio's net investment income, net realized capital gains and losses and any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
As of December 31, 2025, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. The Portfolio files a U.S. federal income tax return annually after its fiscal year-end, which is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
During this reporting period, the Portfolio adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures(ASU 2023-09), which requires annual disclosure of the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes, and further disaggregated by individual jurisdiction in which income taxes paid is equal to or greater than 5% of total income taxes paid. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not result in any changes to the Portfolio's financial statement presentation or disclosure.
E Foreign Currency Translation-Other assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates in effect on the respective dates of such transactions.

Notes to Financial Statements - continued
F Use of Estimates-The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G Indemnifications-Under the Portfolio's organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, interestholders in the Portfolio could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Portfolio. However, the Portfolio's Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Portfolio interestholders. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Portfolio's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred.
H Segment Reporting-The Portfolio operates as a single reportable segment, an investment company whose investment objective(s) is included in Note 1. The Portfolio's President acts as the Portfolio's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), who is responsible for assessing the performance of the Portfolio's single segment and deciding how to allocate the segment's resources. To perform this function, the CODM reviews the information in the Portfolio's financial statements.
2 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Portfolio. The fee is computed at an annual rate as a percentage of the Portfolio's average daily net assets as follows and is payable monthly:
Average Daily Net Assets Annual Fee Rate
Up to $500 million 0.600%
$500 million but less than $1 billion 0.575%
$1 billion but less than $2.5 billion 0.550%
$2.5 billion but less than $5 billion 0.530%
$5 billion and over 0.515%
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Portfolio's investment adviser fee amounted to $4,487,156 or 0.59% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets.
The Portfolio may invest in a money market fund, the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Government Portfolio (the "Liquidity Fund"), an open-end management investment company managed by Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. The investment adviser fee paid by the Portfolio is reduced by an amount equal to its pro rata share of the advisory and administration fees paid by the Portfolio due to its investment in the Liquidity Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the investment adviser fee paid was reduced by $6,822 relating to the Portfolio's investment in the Liquidity Fund.
Trustees and officers of the Portfolio who are members of BMR's organization receive remuneration for their services to the Portfolio out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Portfolio who are not affiliated with the investment adviser may elect to defer receipt of all or a percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of the Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan. Certain officers and Trustees of the Portfolio are officers of the above organization.
3 Purchases and Sales of Investments
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term obligations, aggregated $322,377,633 and $370,253,820, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2025.

4 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Portfolio at December 31, 2025, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost $409,999,434
Gross unrealized appreciation $395,429,111
Gross unrealized depreciation (7,913,505)
Net unrealized appreciation $387,515,606
5 Line of Credit
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by BMR and its affiliates in a $650 million unsecured revolving line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 20, 2026. Borrowings are made by the Portfolio solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Portfolio based on its borrowings generally at an amount above either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. In connection with the renewal of the agreement in October 2025, an arrangement fee of $150,000 was incurred that was allocated to the participating portfolios and funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Portfolio, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. The Portfolio did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended December 31, 2025.
6 Affiliated Investments
At December 31, 2025, the value of the Portfolio's investment in funds that may be deemed to be affiliated was $3,042,492, which represents 0.4% of the Portfolio's net assets. Transactions in such investments by the Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2025 were as follows:

7 Fair Value Measurements
Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including a fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
In cases where the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees and Investors of Stock Portfolio:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Stock Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), including the portfolio of investments, as of December 31, 2025, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements and financial highlights"). In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio's financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolio in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Portfolio's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
