"FMI is sounding the alarm on historically extreme market valuations and speculative AI spend. They remain defensively positioned in undervalued quality, small cap, and international equities, waiting for volatility to present opportunistic entries."
In their Q3 2025 outlook, Fiduciary Management, Inc. (FMI) expresses strong caution regarding the current stock market, characterizing it as one of the most expensive in U.S. history and exhibiting clear bubble characteristics. They detail a growing 'Fundamental Disconnect' between record-high stock indices and weakening global macroeconomic indicators, including slowing GDP, slumping employment, and soft housing. They are highly critical of extreme stock concentration in AI-dependent mega-cap tech companies, noting that massive infrastructure capital expenditure ($400 billion from just five tech giant firms) is highly likely to lead to overcapacity given the relative lack of real-world AI revenues. FMI highlights three of its compelling holdings—OneMain Holdings (OMF), Becton Dickinson (BDX), and Greggs PLC (GRG.L)—which demonstrate strong balance sheets, high-quality recurring elements, and attractive, non-speculative valuations.
