"FMI remains highly cautious of record equity indices, highlighting significant valuation risk, tariff-driven uncertainty, and systemic demographic headwinds while advocating for high-quality value plays with deep margins of safety."
Fiduciary Management, Inc. (FMI) provides a cautious outlook for Q2 2025. Despite record stock index highs, FMI warns of historically expensive market valuations. Growth headwinds are driven by sudden tariff implementations and geopolitical tension in the Middle East. Structurally, FMI emphasizes a double-pronged threat to long-term economic growth: plummeting global fertility rates creating workforce deficits and stagnating productivity levels. While generative AI holds future promise, FMI remains pragmatic about the massive scale of productivity improvements required. The firm highlights its disciplined, value-focused methodology and highlights three portfolio holdings with deep 'margins of safety' and resilient business models: Insight Enterprises (NSIT), Masco Corp. (MAS), and Techtronic Industries (0669.HK).
