| 2025 Q4 | Jan 12, 2026 | Heartland Value Fund | 2.6% | 16.0% | ALEX, CMCO, ITGR | fundamentals, rates, Russell 2000, small caps, Takeouts, value | Small-cap stocks are experiencing strengthening fundamentals with profit growth on track to surpass large caps for the first time in 13 quarters. The Russell 2000 Value Index outperformed the S&P 500 in Q4, and small stocks nearly pulled even with large caps in 2025, marking their best relative performance since the pandemic. Attractively priced small stocks are finally gaining investor attention, with four portfolio holdings taken private in the quarter and 14 takeouts over the past year. The fund applies rigorous fundamental analysis focusing on low valuations, high-quality balance sheets, and positive earnings dynamics through their 10 Principles of Value Investing. Federal Reserve rate cuts are expected to benefit emerging businesses more than giant multinationals, contributing to the improving outlook for small-cap stocks. Lower interest rates historically favor smaller companies over large corporations. | View | |
