The landscape is evolving too swiftly to conclude today's favored players will be ultimate winners, with fundamental questions remaining about LLM commoditization and revenue sustainability. The strategy's average holding has grown its dividend at 10% over the last 12 months with similar growth expected in coming years. The fund maintains focus on dividend-paying companies as part of its core investment approach and diversification strategy. The ClearBridge Dividend Strategy trades at a significant discount to the broader market with a P/E ratio of 19.8x versus 24.7x for the S&P 500. The managers value securities based on free cash flow yields and gravitate toward those with asymmetric risk-reward profiles. | View | |

The manager views companies with existing nuclear assets and restart plans as ideal investments with attractive risk/reward profiles. Rising electricity demand driven by data centers is a key growth driver, with hyperscalers signing multiple power purchase agreements for nuclear offtake. Data centers have power demands ranging from 50 MW to 2 GW and are willing to sign agreements at premium prices for nuclear generation. The portfolio offers high dividend yield over 2.5x the S&P 500 Index with strong prospects for dividend growth and ample coverage. Eight holdings announced dividend increases this quarter with an average increase of 9.5%. Policy support through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and Inflation Reduction Act has provided financial support and tax credits for nuclear development, putting it on level ground with wind and solar while creating a floor for existing nuclear fleet. | View | |

The AI super-cycle continues to provide powerful support, yet it carries risks. Investor willingness to underwrite aggressive AI spending has cooled somewhat, and the debate over whether we are in an AI bubble has increased. Lam Research benefitted from improving sentiment regarding the importance of its products within the semiconductor capital spending market. As a leading provider of equipment tied to memory requirements for AI, Lam Research could have a long and healthy path to growth. Analog Devices pushed toward new all-time highs after solid earnings gave investors confidence that the analog cycle is now beyond its bottom. Earnings growth was the clear engine of the market's advance in 2025. Forward S&P 500 earnings are projected to rise 16% in 2026 over 2025. Bloomberg projects S&P 500 EPS growth of 16% in 2026, up from 15% in 2025 with 7 of 11 sectors expected to deliver double-digit gains. Goldman Sachs Group's shares contributed to fourth-quarter performance due to positive financial results, coupled with increased optimism regarding capital markets activity heading into 2026. Goldman Sachs maintains one of the strongest global merger and acquisition advisory and trading, with increased activity in M&A, initial public offerings, and debt issuance activity directly boosting its financial performance. | View | |

They focus on stocks trading at attractive valuations while avoiding richly valued names, with their U.S. FSV strategy trading at more than double the free cash flow yield of the S&P 500. The strategy systematically rotates out of names that have increased in value and reinvests into less expensive stocks. The firm filters for high quality companies with stable cash flows and low debt levels. Their investment process excludes negative free cash flow companies and avoids those with high amounts of leverage while seeking fundamental stability. This quality focus has historically been smart but was a drag on returns in 2025 as unprofitable stocks outperformed significantly. The firm sees significant opportunity in small and mid-sized U.S. stocks, though selectivity is critical given the large number of unprofitable and heavily-indebted companies. Their small/mid strategy filters out negative free cash flow companies and high leverage names. The S&P 600 excludes many troubled names and has considerably outperformed the Russell 2000 over time. | View | |

The firm's strategies focus on finding attractively valued stocks where quality and value overlap, with their portfolios trading at significant discounts to benchmarks. Quality is a core focus of the firm's investment process, emphasizing cash flow stability and avoiding highly leveraged or unprofitable companies. The letter discusses how their strategies systematically filter out negative free cash flow companies and those with high debt levels while seeking fundamental stability. The letter identifies significant opportunities in small and mid-sized U.S. stocks, noting that avoiding high debt levels and money-losing businesses has historically been smart but was a drag on returns in 2025. The firm sees this as creating attractive entry points for quality small cap investing. | View | |

The S&P 500 is trading near record multiples with just 20 stocks accounting for over 50% of the market at a 120% premium to the rest. Historical analysis shows that rich starting valuations correlate with lower longer-term returns. Despite rich overall market valuations, many high quality stocks remain attractively valued. The firm's large cap strategy trades at a free cash flow yield more than double the S&P 500 and 60% above Russell 1000 Value. Value stocks significantly outperformed after the 2000 tech bubble when similar valuation disparities existed. Significant opportunities exist in smaller stocks where avoiding high debt levels and money-losing businesses has historically been smart but was an enormous drag on returns in 2025. Negative free cash flow stocks comprised 35% of Russell 2000 and rose 67% on average, demonstrating unusual market conditions. | View | |

The rally broadened to the AI value chain including memory companies like Micron. Structural demand across the AI value chain remained robust despite concerns about overstretched valuations. TSMC continued positive momentum with robust results, beating revenue and margin expectations driven by strong demand for advanced products. The company raised full-year revenue guidance to 35% reflecting explosive growth in AI demand from consumer, enterprise and sovereign AI models. Clean technology economics reached a tipping point with renewables and EVs achieving cost parity, driving record investment of $2 trillion in 2025. Global EV sales reached 20% of new car purchases despite policy uncertainty, with solar attracting $500 billion in investment. 2025 was one of the three hottest years ever recorded with climate-driven disasters causing significant costs. Despite political challenges, 84% of large companies maintained climate commitments and investor sentiment remained resilient with 70% committed to sustainability long-term. | View | |

However, they remain cautious about AI becoming the only game in town and continue to monitor exposure closely. They note that excitement about AI has stretched beyond IT into energy, utilities and other businesses in the AI value chain, creating concentration risk. The manager remains positive on defense fundamentals and long-term growth potential despite sporadic pullbacks. They see a clear structural shift toward defense after years of underinvestment, with visible growth stretching years into the future through strong orders, high backlogs, and political will to invest in national security. Banks were leading sector contributors with strong performance from Standard Chartered and Citigroup. Standard Chartered benefits from wealth management platform growth and cross-border services, while Citigroup's transformation strategy is paying off with improved deal activity and better regulatory environment expected in 2026. The manager re-entered Vertiv given the long-term secular data center infrastructure story and strong fundamentals. They reference approximately 100GW of incremental data-center capacity additions from 2024-2029, representing meaningful revenue upside for companies with global presence in thermal and electrical equipment. The manager initiated a position in Cameco, citing structural shifts away from Russian uranium sourcing and reinvigorated nuclear development due to AI energy needs and low carbon merits. Westinghouse's agreement with the US Department of Commerce to support at least $80bn of new reactor construction materially increases earnings power. Estée Lauder drove Consumer Staples performance as the company progresses through its turnaround with outperformance in sales, margins, China, US and Travel Retail. Beauty overall is described as one of the more resilient categories enjoying both volume and value growth, with luxury beauty positioned well in the K-shaped economy. | VRTX TMUS CTVA VRT HDB ELAN CCJ 6501 JP LLY MELI UBER RHM GR EL C |

Management sees structural shift toward increased defense spending across NATO and Asia Pacific nations after years of underinvestment. Visible growth stretches years into the future with strong orders, high backlogs, and political will to invest in national security. The manager acknowledges AI's long-term potential to drive productivity gains while remaining cautious about concentration risk. Companies involved in AI development remain attractively valued relative to growth trajectories, though excitement has stretched beyond IT sector into energy and utilities. The challenge is avoiding portfolios that appear diversified but are overly concentrated around AI themes. Sandoz Group benefits from strong biosimilar growth with streamlined U.S. regulatory guidance moving closer to EU model. This regulatory shift reduces development costs, enabling reinvestment into pipeline expansion and acceleration of future programs. The company plans to launch generic semaglutide in Canada in 2026 as a test case for larger global opportunities. The global mining cycle remains supportive with capex momentum improving after years of troughing, underpinned by elevated commodity prices. Weir Group was initiated as a new position, benefiting from high aftermarket exposure and secular demand drivers in copper and gold. The company is well positioned whether capex flows to greenfield or brownfield projects. Standard Chartered's Wealth Management platform has taken share from competitors and benefits from expanding assets under management. This business contributes to rising fee income that diversifies the bank away from traditional net interest income. Rising wealth in key Asian, Middle Eastern, and African markets with strong demographic growth supports the trajectory. | DTE GR NEX FP WEIR LN MELI 7011 JP RHM GR STAN LN AZN SDZ SW |

The manager sees AI as particularly relevant in healthcare where it can help achieve both innovation and efficiency while controlling healthcare spending growth. Albemarle is benefiting from a surge in lithium prices due to near-term production disruptions at competitors, improving outlook for global EV penetration, and investment in batteries as energy storage platforms for alternative energy supplies. Illumina, with almost 70% market share in gene sequencing, has weathered a storm of life science funding cuts and competitive entries. While challenges remain, they are well positioned to benefit from any acceleration in clinical and research spending in life sciences. | OLED AEIS ILMN ALB |
