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 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.

Silver prices rose nearly 150% in 2025, with both gold and silver reaching record highs. The inability of mining companies to increase production to meet elevated demand has led to soaring prices. The fund holds significant positions in fertilizer companies including Mosaic and Intrepid Potash. Mosaic is a market leading producer of potash and phosphate fertilizers in North America and the largest producer in Brazil. Intrepid produces potash from three U.S. solution mines and also mines Trio fertilizer, with potential for market share gains after competitor exits. Peabody Energy was the fund's top contributor in 2025, benefiting from strengthened domestic thermal coal prices as data center build-out strains the U.S. power grid. Metallurgical coal prices have increased substantially after a soft contracting season. Peabody's low-cost Centurion mine in Australia is ramping up production. Entravision was the fund's top performer in Q4, owning 49 television stations and 44 radio stations targeting Hispanic audiences. The company also operates a rapidly growing Advertising Technology & Services segment through Smadex subsidiary. Deregulation in broadcast television and radio should encourage industry consolidation. Alico continues as the fund's largest position, owning nearly 50,000 acres in Florida previously devoted to citrus farming. The company is undergoing strategic transformation, converting 75% of citrus acres to other agricultural purposes and 25% to higher and better use opportunities including residential and commercial developments. Heartland Express contributed positively as the extended three-year slowdown in U.S. trucking market shows signs of abating. Supply of available trucks has decreased as orders for new equipment have fallen sharply, while stricter enforcement of Commercial Drivers Licenses has decreased available drivers.

Nuclear capacity could quadruple by 2050, though regulatory, economic, and execution risks remain significant challenges. Miller/Howard maintains strict dividend focus across portfolios, avoiding Magnificent 7 stocks in income-oriented strategies. The firm emphasizes high current income and growth of income as core differentiators in an increasingly concentrated market. Index reconstitutions have compromised style integrity by adding growth-oriented Magnificent 7 stocks to value indices.

Mobile generation equipment can be deployed within weeks at competitive efficiency levels. Liberty Energy announced a positive 1GW data center power generation project by year-end 2027. Natural gas prices rallied sharply amid a cold start to winter in the US, supported by strong LNG exports and rising data center power demand. The portfolio reduced natural gas price exposure by selling EQT Corp and trimming Range Resources Corp. Oil prices drifted lower on a near-term supply glut and closed the quarter in the mid-$50/bbl range. Adjusted for inflation, prices are near century lows. At current prices, E&Ps are expected to further rein in production with US supply likely to decline in 2026. The portfolio increased Valero and Phillips 66 on strong refinery dynamics. Marathon Petroleum had a rare refinery earnings miss on operational items believed to be one-time, with favorable 2026 capex guidance. The portfolio currently offers an indicated yield of 3.2% that is well supported down to roughly $45/bbl oil, with potential for significantly larger variable capital returns at higher commodity prices.

The fund's absolute portfolio dividend yield of 2.53% compares favorably to 1.12% for the S&P 500. Many dividend paying companies are historically cheap compared to the broad market. The relative yield of the Dividend Income Fund was 2.25x the S&P 500 at year-end, at the very high end of historical ranges. The equal weight S&P 500 is trading at just half the valuation level of the S&P 500. The fund maintains a high-quality portfolio with strong balance sheets that could protect on the downside in a market correction. 94% of fund holdings are rated A- or better by Standard & Poor's, which compares favorably to the S&P 500 at 35% and the Russell 1000 Value at 22%. | View | |

The manager maintains a positive view on dividend-paying stocks as an out-of-favor segment largely devoid of speculative activity. The market remained supported by ongoing enthusiasm about the artificial intelligence theme, though there was a brief stretch of concern in November about a possible AI bubble. The manager sees potential for improved relative performance if excitement surrounding AI begins to cool. The quarter was characterized by broadening market leadership away from mega-cap technology companies, contributing to relative strength in the value style. The fund's investment universe offers fundamentally sound companies trading with attractive yields and reasonable valuations. A new position in mandatory convertible securities of lithium producer Albermarle made a sizable contribution as lithium prices rose due to reduced supply from China, and market participants became more optimistic about the metal's potential use in energy storage applications. | View | |
