| 2025 Q4 | Feb 17, 2026 | Cullen Small Cap Value Equity | -5.6% | -0.4% | CTRA, CUZ, DOUG, EFSC, HIW, HP, JBSS, LDI, NMRK, POR, SSB, TREE | earnings, energy, financials, rates, small caps, Utilities, value | Small-cap equities ended 2025 on a positive but volatile note with the Russell 2000 returning 12.8% for the year. The outlook for small-cap equities entering 2026 is increasingly constructive, particularly within value-oriented segments, with consensus expectations pointing to meaningful acceleration in small-cap earnings growth in the low-to-mid teens. Value-oriented stocks remain attractively positioned with growth stocks continuing to trade at a meaningful premium to value across most valuation measures. Historically, periods of accelerating profits have favored value leadership, particularly within smaller-cap universes. The strategy's P/E is 12.2x forward earnings versus 15.0x for the Russell 2000 Value. The Federal Reserve's shift toward monetary easing represents an important inflection point for smaller companies, which tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates and credit conditions. Following a 25 basis point cut in September, the Federal Reserve cut rates twice in Q4 to the current range of 3.50% to 3.75%. Lower borrowing costs should support refinancing activity, capital investment, and margin recovery. Earnings are central to the manager's optimism with consensus expectations pointing to meaningful acceleration in small-cap earnings in 2026, with growth projected in the low-to-mid teens and exceeding that of large-cap companies. This anticipated rebound reflects easier year-over-year comparisons, improving operating leverage, and broadening demand across cyclical and value-oriented sectors. | JBSS |
