Here’s Why Envista Holdings Corporation (NVST) Offers an Attractive Opportunity
Diamond Hill Capital, an investment management company, released its “Mid Cap Strategy” fourth-quarter 2023 investor letter. A copy of the same can be downloaded here. During Q4, the markets experienced a sharp rebound, resulting in positive returns in most regions and countries. The portfolio had a better performance than the Russell Midcap Index during the Q4 period, but it underperformed for the entire calendar year. The strategy experienced relative strength in Q4, which was mainly due to the real estate holdings and exposure. These benefited from the declining interest rates environment. Holdings in industrials, financials, and consumer discretionary also added to the performance, as well as the below-benchmark exposure to energy. However, the below-benchmark exposure to technology and above-benchmark exposure to consumer staples detracted from the relative performance. The strategy delivered returns of 13.68% (net of fees) in Q4 and 9.88% (net of fees) for the full year. This compares to the Russell Midcap Index returns of 12.82% and 17.23% for Q4 and the full year, respectively.
