"Miller/Howard highlights historical overvaluation in the S&P 500 (22x forward P/E) and emphasizes the strong opportunity in their high-quality dividend-growth portfolios, which currently trade at some of their steepest relative valuation discounts in 12 years."
In their 2Q 2025 quarterly report, Miller/Howard highlights that their Income-Equity portfolios experienced a modest quarterly gain and lagged the S&P 500 and Russell 1000 Value indices amid high market volatility. The manager emphasizes that the S&P 500 is historically expensive at 22x forward P/E, which historically correlates with poor subsequent 10-year returns. Conversely, Miller/Howard's portfolios trade at some of their steepest valuation discounts relative to the S&P 500 in at least 12 years. Notable portfolio changes include exiting positions in Robert Half (RHI) and Merck (MRK) due to tight dividend coverage and pipeline concerns, while initiating new positions in TC Energy (TRP) and Eastman Chemical (EMN). The manager also highlights regulatory tailwinds for the banking sector following successful 2025 Dodd-Frank stress test results.
