Meridian Contrarian Fund ArrowMark Partners | “Trimble Inc. is a technology company providing positioning, modeling, and data analytics solutions across the construction, agriculture, transportation, and geospatial end markets. The company's hardware, software, and services portfolio enables customers to improve productivity and efficiency by digitizing and automating complex workflows — connecting the physical and digital worlds across some of the largest and most fragmented industries in the global economy. We have been long-term shareholders of Trimble, opportunistically adding to our position during cyclical downturns in the company's end markets. Our investment is grounded in the view that Trimble is a secular winner — a company whose deep workflow integration, proprietary hardware, and entrenched market position create a durable competitive moat that we believe is difficult to replicate. Trimble shares underperformed during the quarter despite delivering strong earnings results, as the market broadly re-rated software stocks perceived as vulnerable to AI-driven competition. We trimmed our position but retain a meaningful holding. We remain constructive on Trimble's long-term outlook and believe the combination of its hardware integration, proprietary data assets, and deep customer relationships provides a well-protected moat against potential new AI competitors.” | NEUTRAL | Q2 2026 Sep 2, 2026 | View Pitch |
Sycamore Mid Cap Value Equity Gary H. Miller | “Trimble, Inc. (TRMB), a provider of software, hardware, and cloud solutions across construction, geospatial, and transportation end markets, was another top detractor. TRMB reported strong 1Q26 results, with revenue and gross, operating, and EBITDA margins all up year-over-year, but full-year guidance implied deceleration for the rest of 2026. Management also flagged macro uncertainty weighing on visibility in its Field Systems hardware business and announced a transition to a consumption-based hybrid pricing model for its software products. Investors remain concerned about the shifting software landscape and AI disintermediation in the space, though management believes TRMB is insulated from these disruptions. Our thesis for TRMB remains intact.” | NEUTRAL | Q2 2026 Aug 3, 2026 | View Pitch |
Sycamore Mid Cap Value Equity Gary H. Miller | “Despite beating earnings and revenue expectations, the company's shares fell alongside broader software-sector selloffs driven by AI fears. The manager argues these disintermediation concerns are unwarranted and that the company's agentic AI investments will actually bolster customer retention.” | BULL | Q1 2026 Mar 31, 2026 | View Pitch |
