"Miller Value Partners urges investors to capitalize on a historic 90-year valuation gap by rotating into deeply discounted small-cap turnarounds poised for a multi-year outperformance cycle."
Executive Summary
In the Q2 2025 investor letter, Dan Lysik of Miller Value Partners makes a strong case for investing in small-cap value stocks, highlighting that the 10-year relative underperformance of small versus large caps has reached a 90-year extreme. Despite macro volatility driven by tariff and economic policy uncertainty, the firm outlines clear tailwinds, including eventual Fed rate cuts, tax relief, and productivity benefits from AI. The Deep Value Select strategy finished down -0.95% for the quarter (YTD -13.63%). During the quarter, the fund recycled capital by fully exiting its highly successful Tutor Perini (TPC) position to increase allocations in deeply discounted names like JELD-WEN (JELD) and Nabors Industries (NBR), both of which are executing aggressive self-help transformation plans.
