"Pzena is aggressively rotating out of expensive, concentrated mega-cap growth into historically cheap global small-cap and value opportunities, using transient headlines as buying opportunities."
Pzena's Q3 2025 report outlines a strong, contrarian case for global small caps and value equities, which are trading near historic lows relative to mega-cap growth. Fundamentals tell a different story than recent returns: small caps have delivered superior free cash flow growth and are forecasted to outpace large caps in earnings growth by 2026. The firm actively deployed capital into temporarily impaired positions like Baxter International (suffering from transitory margin headwinds) and Teleperformance (oversold on AI disruption fears), while taking profits in acquisition targets (Steelcase, WNS) and trimming extreme-growth positions (NVIDIA).
