"Mairs & Power Growth Fund delivered a solid 7.99% gain in Q3 2025, matching the S&P 500, while taking a highly disciplined stance by trimming expensive AI winners and buying into cybersecurity and factory automation."
Executive Summary
For Q3 2025, the Mairs & Power Growth Fund posted a 7.99% gain, slightly trailing the S&P 500 TR index's 8.12% return but outperforming its Morningstar Large Blend peer group (6.93%). The market remained heavily concentrated in mega-cap technology firms. In response, the managers maintained valuation discipline by trimming overstretched AI leaders and deploying capital into secular growth themes at better entry valuations—specifically establishing new positions in cybersecurity leader Palo Alto Networks (PANW) and machine vision innovator Cognex (CGX). The team anticipates a broader economic recovery as interest rates decrease, with key opportunities developing in small-caps and the housing sector.
