| TICKER | COMMENTARY |
|---|---|
| PLTR | Palantir, which has been a highly controversial stock due to excessive valuation and strong retail participation, rose 55% during the quarter, driven by the AI and growth-led rally and heightened attention to security. This proved a significant headwind for relative Strategy performance, but it could have been several times that amount had the team not initiated a modest position as a risk management strategy. We exited Palantir as it left the benchmark at the end of the quarter. |
| NET | Despite strong absolute returns, the ClearBridge Mid Cap Growth Strategy failed to keep pace with its benchmark in the second quarter due to limited exposure to several of the rally's leading participants — Palantir Technologies and Cloudflare in information technology (IT). |
| AXON | We also initiated a new position in Axon — a leading provider of public safety software solutions and hardware including TASER devices and body cameras. Axon saw strong performance as it continued to innovate and broaden its safety and productivity offerings, actions which are driving greater adoption and strong growth in a large total addressable market. With an installed base of over one million software subscribers, Axon is increasingly positioned as the premier operating system for public safety. |
| RBLX | Meanwhile, Roblox, which we do not own stemming from our concerns about children's safety on the platform and the company only just now starting to compound cash flow, rose 80% in the quarter and also acted as a relative performance headwind in communication services. |
| TW | Stock selection in the financials sector also weighed on performance, largely stemming from declines from marketplace operator Tradeweb Markets. Tradeweb, one of our top performers in the first quarter, took a breather as investor enthusiasm and growth expectations outpaced fundamentals. Despite reporting strong first-quarter earnings, the company's performance did not meet the growth and profitability improvements that many investors had priced into the stock, resulting in a share price pullback even as the business remains solid. |
| RBRK | In IT, data protection and security services company Rubrik continues to benefit from customers' increasing prioritization and spending on IT security. |
| APP | AI-enabled advertising platform operator AppLovin delivered strong quarterly earnings and solidified its leadership within AI-driven performance marketing. |
| MELI | MercadoLibre, which operates online e-commerce platforms targeted to Latin American consumers, rose on strong financial performance and operating margins. Additionally, strong returns driven by its digital advertising division — Mercado Ads — highlights the company's transition from mere e-commerce and fintech platform into a broader digital ecosystem. |
| VST | Finally, merchant power producer and utility company Vistra made gains following a string of better-than-anticipated results by leading AI developers and IT stocks, easing investors' concerns about a potential slowdown in AI demand and data center buildouts and pointing to continued increases in power demand as they come online. Ultimately the AI ecosystem remains short power and Vistra is among the best positioned to deliver it at a meaningful premium to prevailing prices. |
| CVNA | We re-established a position in Carvana, the leading online used vehicle retailer. Carvana has emerged from a challenging restructuring period with a return to strong growth, record profitability that leads the legacy auto retail sector, and a clear long-term vision to disrupt the large and highly fragmented auto market. The company is targeting a dramatic scale-up from approximately 500,000 annual car sales today to three million over the next five to 10 years, leveraging its existing infrastructure and the Adesa acquisition to support this expansion. |
| HLT | Also in the consumer discretionary sector, we established a position in Hilton Worldwide, one of the largest and fastest-growing lodging companies with over 1.25 million rooms today. The company has a robust pipeline of 500,000 rooms in development and supporting its 6%–7% annual growth target. With high-margin fees from its asset-light franchising and management contracts, strong operating margins and a history of returning capital to shareholders through share buybacks, Hilton's scale, brand strength and resilient business model position it for solid long-term growth. |
