Gaming holdings provided positive contributions with Light & Wonder rebounding following technical selling pressure and Churchill Downs advancing as operating trends normalized. The gaming sector showed resilience despite broader market headwinds affecting other areas of the portfolio. Online travel platforms contributed positively with Expedia benefiting from improved execution in its consumer business and continued strength in its business-to-business segment. The travel sector demonstrated solid fundamentals amid the challenging market environment. Real estate was a significant source of pressure, particularly Alexandria Real Estate Equities which declined due to slowdown in biopharma research spending and excess laboratory capacity weighing on leasing demand and rental growth expectations. The position was exited due to ongoing uncertainty and dividend cut. | CPAY CWST ARE CHDN EXPE LNWO |
