Ariel Small Cap Value Strategy Ariel Investments, LLC | “Alternatively, supplier of residential thermal, comfort and security solutions, Resideo Technologies, Inc. (REZI) declined following mixed earnings results and a guidance cut. Weakness was concentrated in the residential HVAC channel, impacted by regulatory-driven refrigerant changes and ERP-related costs. Despite short-term challenges, OEM sales, security, retail and e-commerce grew year-over-year and gross margins expanded for the tenth consecutive quarter. Management reiterated confidence in 2026 and highlighted the planned spin-off of ADI Global Distribution in the second half of 2026 as a value-unlocking catalyst. BSD Analysis: Resideo operates in home comfort, security, and controls — categories tied to maintenance, not discretionary upgrades. Its installed base creates recurring replacement demand. Margin pressure has exposed execution gaps, not demand issues. Channel relationships and distribution matter more than brand flash. Investors price Resideo like a declining hardware business. In reality, smart home retrofits extend relevance. Operational improvements drive earnings more than revenue growth. Housing cycles distort sentiment. This is a slow fixer with embedded demand.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
Ariel Appreciation Fund John W. Rogers | “Resideo Technologies, Inc. (REZI) was the top contributor in the quarter driven by strong earnings and a subsequent raise in guidance. Organic revenue, EBITDA and adjusted EPS all exceeded expectations. The company also finalized its agreement with Honeywell, eliminating future financial obligations under their indemnification arrangement. In our view, REZI remains undervalued, with long-term growth supported by rising demand for connected smart home solutions and continued product innovation. BSD Analysis: Resideo is quietly shifting from a chronic underperformer into a more disciplined operator as management drives meaningful cost reductions, simplifies the product lineup, and strengthens channel execution. The Products & Solutions segment is stabilizing with cleaner inventories and sharper pricing, while ADI Distribution continues to demonstrate durable growth and healthy margins. Operational improvements are finally showing up in cash flow, and restructuring charges that masked progress are now fading. The balance sheet is in better shape, giving the company room to selectively invest where it has clear competitive advantages. Yet sentiment remains anchored to its messy post–spin history, creating a valuation disconnect that doesn't reflect the improving fundamentals. As execution firms up, Resideo screens like a credible self-help story with more upside than the market is willing to price in.” | BULL | Q3 2025 Sep 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
Ariel Focus Fund Ariel Investments, LLC | “Additionally, supplier of residential thermal, comfort and energy management solutions, Resideo Technologies, Inc. (REZI) advanced following solid quarterly earnings results highlighted by organic revenue growth and margin expansion. Synergies from the integration of Snap One are also ahead of expectations. Meanwhile, REZI expects to substantially mitigate any headwinds from tariffs by increasing prices, repositioning inventory and by running its factories at different utilization rates. We believe REZI's earnings potential is underappreciated. The company is entering a new phase of sustainable growth driven by a secular preference for more connected smart home solutions and product innovation. BSD Analysis: Resideo is a turnaround industrial-tech name with real hidden value: Honeywell Home products + ADI distribution, both steady cash generators. After management missteps, cost discipline and portfolio cleanup are finally showing results. Smart home, security, HVAC, and connected devices give the company a durable footprint. Resideo remains cheap because of past failures — but margins and execution are noticeably improving.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jun 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
