The market showed persistent preference for AI-related hardware and infrastructure stocks, with AI themes dominating Index returns. The manager notes that capital flowed into more speculative AI names within the benchmark, creating valuation compression for traditional quality holdings. Defense-related stocks were among the key drivers of benchmark performance, with investors concentrating capital in defense stocks.

Small Caps are trading at a nearly 25% discount to Large Caps, creating a compelling case for outperformance for the first time since 2020. The market experienced extreme leadership concentrated in low-quality, high-beta, unprofitable stocks during the April-October rally. However, profitable stocks began outperforming unprofitable counterparts by over 5% from mid-October through year-end, suggesting high-quality stocks may be reclaiming leadership. Small Cap Biotech/Pharmaceutical stocks represented 132% of the Russell 2000 Growth Index's total returns in the fourth quarter alone, after comprising just 11% through the third quarter. The bioprocessing market showed clear signs of recovery with companies delivering encouraging order growth. Defense technology companies specializing in highly engineered, mission-critical systems showed strong performance. Companies with exposure to space, missiles, hypersonic, and defense programs generated mid-teens organic revenue growth complemented by acquisitions. | GNRC KRMN AAON ROAD STVN TREX POOL FSV CWAN CSW JKHY RBC RGEN |
