"Miller/Howard warns that the frenetic AI spending boom is severely eroding cash flows of mega-cap tech, reinforcing the relative value of their high-yielding, disciplined Income-Equity portfolios."
In the 3Q 2025 report, Miller/Howard Income-Equity portfolios outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index, driven by strong earnings and dividend growth in financial holdings. The letter issues a strong warning against the 'skyrocketing' AI-related capital expenditure boom among the Magnificent 7, arguing that it is rapidly eroding free cash flow yields and drawing parallels to late-1990s vendor-financed bubbles. To navigate these market dynamics, the managers added high-quality defensive and cash-generative names (ConocoPhillips, Equity Lifestyle Properties, Hormel Foods) while exiting weaker dividend stories (TotalEnergies, Conagra Brands) and trimming strong financial gainers (JPMorgan, BNY Mellon).
