“Forgent Power Solutions, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of electrical distribution equipment used in data centers, the power grid, and industrial applications. Forgent is a low- and medium- voltage equipment specialist focused on custom, “engineered-to- order” products (over 90% of revenue) whereas larger competitors in the industry generally focus more on higher voltage and standard products. The stock rose during the quarter as it continued to deliver very strong financial results reflecting improving demand for its products amidst the broader data points on AI infrastructure and grid buildout continuing to point to strong growth for the next several years. Forgent is gaining share with its ability to offer customized products at industry-leading lead times and is still just scratching the surface of its opportunity having sold very little directly to the biggest customers in the market. The company has invested heavily in capacity and people to support future growth, and we see many strong years of growth and margin expansion ahead as it grows from an approximate $1.2 billion revenue run- rate currently into its $5 billion manufacturing footprint.6 Shares of Datadog, Inc. outperformed during the quarter as results confirmed the company is emerging as a structural beneficiary of the AI buildout.”

“We trimmed our positions in Datadog, Inc. and Lumentum Holdings Inc. following meaningful appreciation in both stocks that, in our view, left near-term upside more limited relative to our other holdings.”

“Observability and cloud monitoring platform Datadog, Inc. contributed to performance with the stock up 120.7% during the quarter after reporting its strongest results in years.”
Datadog - June 2026
“From a stock specific perspective, the Fund’s 26.7% gain was driven by 32 contributors against 10 detractors. It is tempting to describe it as SpaceX and everything else, but it would not be correct and would not do the quarter justice. Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC), ASML, Nebius, NVIDIA, Forgent, and Amazon contributed over 100bps each to absolute returns, while Datadog and CrowdStrike contributed over 200bps each. 24 of our holdings outperformed the double-digit returns of the Index, with 14 investments contributing between 20bps and 100bps each. 15 of our holdings appreciated over 30% during the quarter. CrowdStrike, Forgent, Snowflake, BillionToOne, and ASML each gained over 50%, while Datadog, which we have owned since its IPO in 2019 more than doubled (up 121.7%) and Nebius, which we bought just last quarter, was up a cool 166.2%.”

“Top net sales for the quarter Net Amount Sold ($M) NVIDIA Corporation 7.5 Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc. 3.0 Amazon.com, Inc. 2.8 Datadog, Inc. 2.2 Lumentum Holdings Inc. 2.0 We trimmed our position in NVIDIA Corporation, which had grown to represent an outsized share of the Strategy. The trim was a function of portfolio construction discipline rather than any change in our fundamental view — we remain strong believers in NVIDIA's long-term positioning as the dominant platform for AI compute. A portion of the proceeds was redeployed to add exposure to AMD and to memory semiconductor names, where we viewed as compelling risk/reward. We exited our position in Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc., which we discussed as a new position in our first quarter letter. The position accreted faster than we expected following our purchase, and after the stock's move, we concluded the remaining upside was more limited relative to other opportunities in the portfolio. We sold the position during the quarter and redeployed the proceeds elsewhere. We trimmed our position in Amazon.com, Inc. to add to Alphabet Inc., where we see a more compelling near-term risk/reward. We trimmed our positions in Datadog, Inc. and Lumentum Holdings Inc. following meaningful appreciation in both stocks that, in our view, left near-term upside more limited relative to our other holdings.”

“The Strategy owns both Datadog—a position we added to during the first quarter's software selloff—and Lattice Semiconductor.”
Datadog - June 2026
“Palo Alto Networks Inc and Datadog Inc also contributed meaningfully, reinforcing the importance of the portfolio changes made earlier in the year. We initiated Palo Alto Networks Inc during the first quarter, attracted by its leadership in cybersecurity and its ability to consolidate multiple security capabilities within a unified platform. During the second quarter, shares benefited from stronger execution and improving confidence in the company’s platform strategy. We believe Datadog Inc also performed well following strong results and better-than- consensus-expected forward guidance, supported by accelerating demand from both AI-native customers and traditional enterprises migrating workloads to the cloud.”

“During the first quarter, we added to both Datadog Inc and Snowflake Inc on the broad software sell-off. Based on the strong stock performance during the second quarter, we trimmed both positions on valuation.”

“Within software, we sold Dynatrace during the quarter while continuing to build out our Datadog Inc. (DDOG) position, as the latter company is simply proving the more effective, faster growing observability solution with particular strength among AI-native customers.”
Datadog - March 2026
“Datadog, which monitors the AI infrastructure being built by hyperscalers and enterprises alike, reported 32% revenue growth, accelerating from 29% last quarter, with new logo bookings setting an all-time record.”

“In particular, stock selection in the communication services, health care and industrials sectors, overweights to the communication services and materials sectors and an underweight to the IT sector weighed on results. On the positive side, stock selection in the IT, consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors, along with an underweight to consumer staples, contributed to performance. On an individual stock basis, the largest relative detractors included Netflix and Intuitive Surgical as well as not holding Advanced Micro Devices, Lam Research and KLA. The largest relative contributors were Palo Alto Networks, ASML, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, Datadog and an underweight to Microsoft.”

“On an individual stock basis, the biggest detractors from returns included L3Harris Technologies, Autodesk and TJX Companies as well as not owning Astera Labs and Datadog.”
