“Given the potential for tighter oil markets as crude and refined product inventories are rebuilt, we added AI remained the dominant market theme, but the strongest opportunities are increasingly tied to the physical inputs required to support it: power, memory, infrastructure and energy. CLEARBRIDGE VALUE STRATEGY 3 exposure to a best-in-class U.S. shale producer with deep inventory, balance sheet strength and corporate action optionality. We believe Diamondback’s disciplined capital allocation and continued capital returns create multiple avenues for shareholder value creation through the commodity cycle. We also initiated a position in Blackstone, returning to alternative asset managers after weakness driven by private credit concerns and retail redemption requests created a more attractive entry point.”

“With investors myopically focused on AI, we are finding terrific opportunities in other areas of the market. Indeed, our outlook for the portfolio is the most constructive it has been in years. We recently built significant positions in ADP, Blackstone, Marsh & McLennan and Otis and added materially to positions in Apollo, Haleon and Unilever.”
Blackstone Inc. - June 2026
“Blackstone Inc. is the world’s largest alternative asset manager with over $1.3 trillion in assets under management and the largest real estate manager in the world according to management. As we noted in our first quarter letter, while we consolidated our positions in the alternative asset manager space, Blackstone remained high on our list to revisit. Given severe multiple compression across the sector with all alternative managers being painted with a broad brush and extreme investor negativity, we took advantage of the volatility to reinitiate a position in the company at what we deemed to be highly compelling valuation levels.”

“That said, the structure is not airtight. The newer "evergreen" funds marketed to wealthy individuals do permit periodic withdrawals, generally capped near 5% of the fund each quarter, and this year, those caps were tested across the industry. Blackstone, BlackRock, Blue Owl, and Partners Group, among others, saw redemption requests run past the limit; some “gated” the excess, and some, like Blackstone, put their own capital in to meet it. But a gate is the safety valve working. It is the very mechanism that stops a stampede from forcing assets to be sold into a falling market.”

“e Professional Coffee segment, which includes La Marzocco and Eversys, is only 18% of revenue but contributes 34% of EBITDA (as of 1H 2026) as it carries ~30% EBITDA margins, and is growing materially faster than the company overall, posting its 5th consecutive quarter of 30%+ y/y revenue growth with Q2 2026 growth of 33%, an acceleration to 86% growth on a two-year basis.xxxvii is growth is broad based, coming across geographies as consumer preference for specialty coffee and espresso has expanded out from the early 2000s hubs of cities like Seattle, Portland and New York to Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, as well as second and third tier cities in the U.S. We believe the market is underappreciating the secular transformation underway — global premiumization and specialty coffee preferences driven by rising incomes, rapid cafe openings to meet this demand, and automation adoption to combat rising labor costs — all of which the Professional Coffee business DLG has built is perfectly positioned to benefit. Two U.S. customers alone — Dutch Bros (~1,000 planned new stores through 2029) xxxviii xxxix and Blackstone- backed 7 Brew (2,500+ locations under development agreements) — equip every location with two to three La Marzocco machines.”
