“Software was particularly strong, led by Descartes Systems Group, Inc. (DSGX) and Q2 Holdings, Inc. (QTWO), which advanced +17% and +15%, respectively.”
Descartes Systems Group “Relative underperformance was concentrated in Technology and Health Care, with additional relative weakness coming from Industrials and Consumer Discretionary. Technology stocks in the Russell 2000 Growth Index rose +55%, led by semiconductors (+89%) and computer services (+58%). Gains in those groups were fueled by rising enthusiasm for AI-related chips and services, as well as outsized returns among quantum computing, data center infrastructure services, and bitcoin miners – all groups where the Composite has limited exposure. By contrast, we remain overweight in software, where performance improved in 2Q but continued to weigh on relative returns. Descartes Systems Group, Inc. (DSGX) was the largest detractor, falling despite posting another quarter of strong results.”
