German term or phrase: Übergewichtung
"Steigende Gewinnschätzungen ziehen verbesserte Ratings nach sich und führen zu Übergewichtungen in den Portfolios und umgekehrt. Bei Divergenzen und Extremausprägungen ist Vorsicht angebracht."

More from this little investment newspaper (or whatever it is). I can't find a translation for "Übergewichtung" anywhere, and don't have business dictionaries (because I don't do this kind of stuff too often). I realise it's related to "übergewicht", i.e. overweight, but that's not going to work here. TIA for your assistance.

overweighting
Explanation:
Why shouldn't 'overweight' work in this context? The concept of over-/underweighting of portfolio holdings (usually relative to a benchmark index) is very common.
