“Stocks We Eliminated from Your Portfolio (Second Quarter 2026): Calavo Growers, Inc. (CVGW): CVGW is a leading distributor of avocados in the U.S. We exited the position due to the company being acquired by Mission Produce, Inc. (AVO). Daikin Industries, Ltd. (DKILY): DKILY is the world’s largest manufacturer of air conditioning equipment and supplies with leading market share positions across most of its geographical segments. Following outperformance in the stock, we exited our position in favor of better risk reward opportunities elsewhere. Estee Lauder Companies Inc. (EL): EL is a leading producer of beauty products, including facial moisturizers, makeup, and lip products, among others. In March 2026, EL confirmed rumors that it was exploring a merger with Puig Brands, S.A. (PUIG), a leader in premium fragrances. This created some uncertainty in terms of what type of valuation the company would need to pay to acquire PUIG, and uncertainty around what the balance sheet would look like in terms of leverage. We exited the position in favor of better risk reward opportunities.”
