The London Company’s Mid Cap portfolio outperformed the Russell Midcap Index in Q4 2025, delivering a 3.2% return (3.0% net) versus the benchmark’s 0.2% gain, driven by strong stock selection. Dollar Tree surged as a top performer after finalizing the Family Dollar divestiture, eliminating a persistent growth obstacle and unlocking shareholder value. Pool Corporation declined post-earnings due to investor caution over weak discretionary home improvement spending, despite no major negative surprises in its financial update. A new position in Cooper Companies was initiated, citing its dominant specialty lens market share and high customer switching costs as key competitive advantages. Management expects a shift toward fundamentals-driven markets in 2026, emphasizing earnings growth as the primary catalyst for broader leadership and stock performance.
