Bell Global Emerging Companies Fund Ned Bell, Joel Connell, Matt Saddington | “Other notable contributors during December came in the form of Industrials including Core & Main. The company benefited from positive industrial performance and infrastructure-related demand. Core & Main is levered to long-term water infrastructure replacement and investment trends. Its scale and logistics capabilities support margin resilience. Performance reflects continued confidence in secular infrastructure spending. BSD Analysis: Core & Main is water infrastructure distribution tied to replacement, not growth fantasies. Aging pipes, leak reduction, and regulatory mandates drive demand regardless of macro sentiment. Scale matters in logistics-heavy distribution where availability beats price alone. Investors treat it like a generic construction supplier and miss the non-discretionary spend profile. Municipal budgets move slowly but predictably. Margins expand through mix and operational efficiency, not leverage. This is infrastructure spending that happens because systems fail, not because cycles are hot.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Nov 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
