- September 2026
“The bottom line is that in an environment like this one, our job is not to predict the next move in oil or the next decision from the Fed. It is to find high- quality businesses that have been sold off and now trade at attractive valuations. When we can identify companies with good visibility into their business and confidently underwrite their earnings into the future, we believe we can ride out the storm and be well positioned when it passes. Our activity this quarter reflects that approach. 908 Devices pairs a debt-free balance sheet with a next-generation product launch that we expect to spur upgrades across its installed base. We added to Lifeway Foods, which sold off on input-cost concerns that we believe are now largely reflected in its share price; milk prices have also begun to ease.”
