"The tech sector is showing signs of excessive dot-com era exuberance, creating an excellent asymmetric setup for neglected, deeply discounted small-cap and value stocks."
Executive Summary
Miller Value Partners reports a strong Q3 2025 performance for its Deep Value Select Strategy (+26.50%), vastly outperforming its benchmarks as the market began to broaden out. Lead PM Dan Lysik warns of bubble-like conditions in the tech sector, where concentration and valuation metrics are approaching 2000 Dot-com peaks. In contrast, small-cap value is emerging from a multi-year earnings recession, supported by upcoming catalysts such as interest rate cuts, deregulation, and tax savings. Top holdings like Nabors Industries (NBR) demonstrated strong gains (+46%) on successful debt reduction and business transformation, while Bread Financial (BFH), despite being a slight quarterly detractor (-2%), offers massive upside potential at more than a 25% normalized earnings yield.
