Aristotle International Equity Fund Aristotle Investment Services, LLC / Aristotle Capital Management, LLC | “Techtronic Industries (Techtronic), the Hong Kong-based manufacturer of power tools, was a primary contributor during the period. We initiated our investment in the first quarter of 2026, attracted to the company's Milwaukee and Ryobi brands, culture of product innovation, and battery ecosystems that create loyalty and repeat purchases across hundreds of compatible tools. Recent results highlight the company's progress, with Milwaukee driving revenue growth through deeper penetration of professional trades, new product introductions and expansion into additional geographies, while Ryobi remains a leading DIY platform with opportunities to expand beyond its core markets. The company has also improved the quality of its earnings base by shifting further toward Milwaukee, exiting lower-return areas such as HART and rationalizing underperforming product lines. Importantly, the business is increasingly broader than residential repair and remodel demand. Milwaukee is becoming embedded in the workflows of mechanical, electrical and plumbing contractors working on data centers, grid infrastructure and other complex non-residential projects, where productivity, safety and uptime are critical. This is a natural extension of Techtronic's strategy: expand the Milwaukee ecosystem around the jobsite, then deepen customer loyalty through batteries, accessories, personal protective equipment, storage and service support that can make the platform more valuable over time.” | BULL | Q2 2026 Aug 10, 2026 | View Pitch |
Aristotle/Saul Global Equity Fund Portfolio Manager | “Headquartered in Hong Kong, Techtronic Industries (TTI) is a global manufacturer of power tools, outdoor power equipment and related accessories. The company operates primarily through two flagship brands: Milwaukee, which serves professional tradespeople, and Ryobi, which targets the do-it-yourself (DIY) and light professional market (including handymen and maintenance professionals whose needs fall between homeowners and full-time trades). Over the past decade, TTI has transformed itself into one of the leading players in the global power tool industry, driven by sustained innovation and disciplined brand investment. Milwaukee has been the primary growth engine, expanding from approximately $450 million in sales in the early 2000s to roughly $10 billion today. The brand has gained meaningful share in professional trades through a focus on productivity, safety and battery-powered innovation. Ryobi remains a leading DIY platform, supported by a long-standing distribution relationship with Home Depot, TTI's largest retail partner. TTI continues to benefit from the long-term industry transition from corded, gas-powered and pneumatic tools toward battery-powered platforms. The company's strategy of maintaining backward compatibility across battery generations has reinforced customer loyalty and created a durable installed base across both Milwaukee and Ryobi ecosystems.” | NEUTRAL | Q2 2026 Aug 10, 2026 | View Pitch |
