Diamond Hill Mid Cap Anthony Philipp | “Other top Q2 individual contributors included Regal Rexnord, Mr. Cooper Group and Huntington Ingalls Industries. Power transmission components manufacturer Regal Rexnord has held up well against an uncertain macroeconomic backdrop. Merger synergies, its 80/20 growth initiative and continuous improvement efforts are driving strong margin improvement and better-than-expected organic growth. While somewhat elevated leverage could leave the company vulnerable to further near-term macroeconomic weakness, we believe Regal Rexnord's self-help initiatives should contribute to ongoing margin improvement and organic growth faster than peers' — which we don't believe the current share price reflects. BSD Analysis: Regal Rexnord is an engineered industrial play on motion control, power transmission, and automation. Its components show up in everything from HVAC systems to factory equipment, often in mission-critical roles that customers don't like to swap out. The company has been reshaping its portfolio toward higher-margin, more technologically differentiated products. That mix shift, plus cost actions, has driven margin expansion and more resilient earnings. As factories modernize and energy efficiency standards tighten, Regal Rexnord's content per system tends to rise. This is not a household name, but it sits in attractive niches with real pricing power. Over time, it behaves like a quiet compounder tied to automation and efficiency.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jun 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
Diamond Hill Large Cap Strategy Austin Hawley | “Among our top individual contributors in Q2 were Regal Rexnord and Texas Instruments. Power transmission components manufacturer Regal Rexnord has held up well against an uncertain macroeconomic backdrop. Merger synergies, its 80/20 growth initiative and continuous improvement efforts are driving strong margin improvement and better-than-expected organic growth. While somewhat elevated leverage could leave the company vulnerable to further near-term macroeconomic weakness, we believe Regal Rexnord's self-help initiatives should contribute to ongoing margin improvement and organic growth faster than peers', which we don't believe the current share price reflects. BSD Analysis: Regal Rexnord fits the manager's pattern of owning self-help industrials where internal initiatives, rather than macro tailwinds, drive value creation. The company's broad portfolio of power transmission and motor products positions it to benefit from secular trends in electrification, automation and energy efficiency, which should sustain mid-single to high-single-digit organic growth over a cycle. Margin expansion from merger synergies and 80/20 productivity programs can compound earnings even if volumes are choppy. While leverage is higher post-merger, free cash flow should allow steady de-levering without sacrificing disciplined bolt-on M&A. Relative to other high-quality electrical equipment names, the stock's valuation appears reasonable given its improving margin profile and self-help levers, making further rerating and de-risking of the balance sheet key catalysts.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jun 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
