Diamond Hill Small-Mid Cap Strategy Q1 2026 Portfolio Activity

We do not believe Humana's current share price reflects the company's earnings power, and as industry conditions normalize, we believe it can return to target margins over the long term. We initiated a position in Antero Resources, a natural gas exploration and production company, to gain exposure given our constructive long-term outlook for US natural gas. We exited our position in First Advantage, a leader in the background check space, to pursue other opportunities with less macro exposure and AI-disruption concerns.

Diamond Hill Small Cap Strategy Q1 2026 Portfolio Review

Exploration and production company Magnolia Oil & Gas saw shares rise as the sharp increase in oil prices drove a broad rally across US-based oil producers. Red Rock Resorts' fundamentals remained solid, though the stock faced pressure in Q1 as investors linked gaming demand to discretionary spending trends. Recent Knowles' strategic initiatives have reshaped the portfolio toward higher-margin, mission-critical end markets with more durable demand drivers.
