Digest Analysis
Quick Take
"The Harbor Mid Cap Value Fund delivered strong relative performance of 4.07% in Q4 2025, beating its benchmark by 2.65%. The manager is capitalizing on highly attractive valuations in mid- and small-cap value stocks compared to expensive large-cap technology names."
Executive Summary
During Q4 2025, the Harbor Mid Cap Value Fund returned 4.07%, outperforming the Russell Midcap Value Index's return of 1.42%. Outperformance was driven by a favorable environment for value over growth and strong bottom-up stock selection, notably in Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, and Financials. Top contributors included Sandisk, General Motors, Expedia, and Jazz Pharmaceuticals. The fund initiated new positions in Garrett Motion and EnerSys, completely exited Electronic Arts, and trimmed Amkor Technology. The portfolio remains overweight in Consumer Discretionary and Financials, while underweighting Utilities, Real Estate, Industrials, and Materials. The managers highlight that while large-cap equities look expensive, small- and mid-cap value stocks trade at very attractive multiples, offering significant opportunity.
