FREDERICA ABAN/iStock via Getty Images Inst: BROIX A: BROAX C: BROCX R: BGORX 1 K: BROKX The fund posted returns of 1.44% (Institutional shares)( BROIX ) and 1.37% (Investor A shares, without sales charge)( BROAX ) for the first quarter of 2026. The fund's outperformance of its benchmark was driven by thematic insights, while fundamental quality and valuation measures were also beneficial. Sentiment-related insights struggled and partially offset the gains. The fund remained largely sector neutral. However, there were slight overweight allocations to the information technology (IT), energy and industrials sectors, and slight underweight exposures to the consumer discretionary and financials sectors. By country, positions in Spain and the United Kingdom were overweight, while holdings in Switzerland and Sweden were underweight. Contributors Thematic insights were the strongest contributor, particularly measures capturing short-term opportunities, which worked well amid the changing macroeconomic environment. Fundamental valuation measures were helpful, especially toward quarter-end as investors refocused on company fundamentals amid the U.S.-Iran conflict. Insights focusing on companies generating strong cash flows relative to their overall valuation supported stock selection, notably in the energy sector. Quality-related insights that assess company controversies and non-financial risks helped guide positioning toward more resilient businesses, which contributed positively across sectors such as communication services and health care. Detractors Sentiment insights detracted, particularly measures that dynamically adjust exposure based on changing market conditions, which led to positioning that did not align with market moves. This resulted in less effective exposure within sectors such as IT, where overweight positions were challenged. Text-based insights analyzing management communication struggled, as did measures that look at digital engagement trends, which led...

A record weekly run for US stocks was in danger before the bell on Friday, as a rotation out of artificial-intelligence stocks continued and traders awaited payrolls data. Contracts for the S&P 500 Index fell 0.5% at 8:24 a.m. in New York, with the benchmark tracking to miss out on a record 10th week of gains. Meanwhile, Nasdaq 100 Index futures were 0.5% lower. The AI rally has come to a halt after a strong start to the week. A confluence of factors — including a weaker-than-expected forecast from Broadcom Inc. — sapped enthusiasm around the sector. “Investor enthusiasm around AI-linked names is showing signs of fatigue after strong results from Broadcom didn’t deliver the bump in guidance investors were hoping for,” said Anna Macdonald , investment strategy director at Hargreaves Lansdown. As a result, the run of weekly gains the S&P 500 is currently on faces a tough test — even more so with the jobs report set to affirm that interest rates will stay higher for longer. “There will be scrutiny of the US jobs release later,” said Russ Mould , investment director at AJ Bell. “After April’s strong data, investors will be watching to see if the headline figure falls within the 85,000 to 96,000 range analysts expect and whether unemployment stays at 4.3%.” Investors are also keeping an eye on developments from the Middle East. The US and Iran have made little progress in talks over an interim peace deal this week, with both nations seeing their worst clashes since the ceasefire began in April. Fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon also continued, despite President Donald Trump’s insistence that the two sides would stop hostilities. Tehran has insisted on a ceasefire in Lebanon before accepting a deal that will extend a truce by two months and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. “The US and Iran still seem headed for a détente/deal of some sort as neither side appears eager to escalate the conflict,” said Adam Crisafulli of Vital Knowledge. In terms of single-stock m...

bymuratdeniz/iStock via Getty Images Shares of INNIO Group Holding ( INIO ) have seen a strong public debut, as shares were priced at the high of the range and have seen nearly 20% gains on the first day of trading. This has pushed up expectations for the gas equipment solutions provider a great deal. There is much to like about the business, between strong growth, a huge order intake, and a promise for both growth acceleration and continuous sales and earnings growth. However, expectations have risen quite a bit here, and while the positioning is strong, I fear that quite a bit of good news has been priced in here already. Global Distributed Energy Solutions Innio describes itself as a global distributed energy solutions provider that delivers reliable, flexible, transient, modular, and efficient power solutions. This involves the conversion of natural, renewable, and specialty gases into electricity, heat, or compression. This is used for a wide range of applications, relating to the grid, data centers, and industrial users. The company has a portfolio with an installed base of 44 GW and 3.4 GW of power delivered as of 2025, with the business operating across two segments: equipment and services. Equipment solutions provide both behind-the-meter and before-the-meter solutions, with service segments creating additional, predictable, and recurring revenue streams. The business was only formed as recently as 2018, when Advent acquired GE's distributed power business, at the time in just a >$3 billion deal, giving the business access to gas engine brands Jenbacher and Waukesha. On a trailing basis, the company generated some $2.8 billion in sales, nearly half of which was tied to service revenues. Power solutions make up 34% of sales, data centers make up 11% of sales, and compression sales make up 8% of sales. Of course, that is about to change rapidly, given surging demand in data centers. Data center orders of over the past year come in at nearly $3 billion, which ...
Volatility usually makes investors do one of two things: They either run to safety and sit on cash, or they get selective and build positions in businesses they actually believe in. The second approach tends to produce better long-term outcomes and fatter profits. These three companies are not dominating financial headlines right now, and that is exactly why they deserve a look. If someone told yo...
Volatility usually makes investors do one of two things: They either run to safety and sit on cash, or they get selective and build positions in businesses they actually believe in. The second approach tends to produce better long-term outcomes and fatter profits. These three companies are not dominating financial headlines right now, and that is exactly why they deserve a look. If someone told you there was a semiconductor company that just tripled its revenue in a single fiscal year, maintained gross margins above 60%, ended the year with $1.4 billion in cash on its books -- and has a CEO whose compensation is entirely tied to hitting revenue targets -- you would probably want to know its name.
