"The Dodge & Cox Stock Fund delivered a 3.14% Class I return in Q3, underperforming the highly concentrated S&P 500, but remains constructive on its deeply discounted, value-disciplined portfolio."
During the third quarter of 2025, U.S. equities reached new highs fueled by AI enthusiasm, easing trade tensions, and a Federal Reserve rate cut. High index concentration remained a theme, with the top ten stocks driving 71% of the S&P 500's return. Dodge & Cox lagged the benchmark in Q3 (3.14% vs. 8.12%) but utilized market strength to rebalance. The fund established new positions in Aon and Adobe, added to ADM, Fiserv, FIS, and WTW, and trimmed Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, and BNY Mellon on strength. The fund trades at 14.4x forward earnings, representing a meaningful discount to its benchmarks.
