"Gabelli Funds delivers solid Q3 2025 performance amid beginning Fed rate cuts and a significant resurgence in global M&A. While mindful of elevated valuations and soft labor data, the managers remain constructive, focusing on top-tier management teams and businesses trading below their private market values."
In their Q3 2025 shareholder commentary, Gabelli Funds' Value and Growth managers highlight a strong quarter where the S&P 500 rose 8.1% and the Russell 2000 rose 12.4%. Key positive trends include the Fed initiating a rate-cut cycle with a 25 bps reduction in September, easing trade tensions under new bilateral frameworks, and a major resurgence in global M&A (up 33% YTD to $3T). Economic data remains mixed, with softening nonfarm payroll growth counterbalanced by robust GDP (+3.8% in Q2) and resilient retail sales. The managers thoroughly analyze AI capital expenditures, comparing today's valuation multiples favorably against the late-1990s dotcom bubble, and outline their continued commitment to selective value investing via 'PMV with a Catalyst'. Portfolio adjustments include the strategic addition of Tesla and the complete liquidation of positions in Chipotle and Carrier Global.
