The acquisition arrives as Molson Coors trades at $45.18 per share-a 17% annual drop and 35 percentage points below the S&P 500’s performance. With revenue of $11.63 billion (TTM) and a 4.13% dividend yield-the highest since 2020-the company presents as a textbook value stock. Yet its enterprise value of six times EBITDA masks a deeper arithmetic: a 50% plunge from its 2016 peak suggests structural rot, not temporary mispricing.
According to the SEC’s ledger, Herald’s 42,300 shares vanished, a liquidation so absolute it suggests not mere portfolio pruning but a confession of sin. For what other reason would a fund surrender its stake entirely, save to absolve itself of the compulsion to cling to a rising tide? The arithmetic-$17.199 million in paper gains-pales beside the existential weight of the act.
The Securities and Exchange Commission, that arbiter of silent decrees, bore witness to the sale of 2,128,619 CarMax shares by Diamond Hill Capital Management during the quarter. The fund’s position, once a significant portion of its portfolio, now stands diminished, its value reduced by $251.04 million since June 30, 2025. The remaining 4,833,319 shares, valued at $216.87 million at quarter-end, appear as relics of a former order, their worth measured not in purpose but in the cold arithmetic of market forces.
It’s the classic quarterly ritual: FIRETRAIL, ever so punctual in its filing, reports that it has rid itself of its Ryan Specialty holdings entirely. In the form of a 137,533-share divestment, the move is as smooth as it is decisive, marking the reduction of $9,316,616 in exposure. The price, as is so often the case, reflects only the passing whims of market sentiment.
The November 6 SEC filing reveals a complete liquidation of holdings-a deus ex machina for institutional patience. Where once Wilson Asset saw 2.67% of its AUM tethered to Avantor’s promises, now only the void remains. The quarterly average price of $11.43 per share, a figure that would have once signified stability, now mocks the market’s capacity for self-deception.
In the third quarter of 2025, Uptick Partners, LLC, a name that suggests a firm perpetually one step behind the market, chose to dance with STRV, adding 61,914 shares to its portfolio. The transaction, estimated at $2.57 million, brought the firm’s total holdings to 324,864 shares, valued at $14.03 million by quarter-end. One might call it a modest coup-or perhaps a prudent hedge against the inevitable collapse of the next speculative bubble.
This addition, a veritable mountain in the landscape of its portfolio, constitutes 20.54% of Brown’s $169.07 million in reportable U.S. equity holdings as of September 30, 2025. A curious alchemy, indeed, where academia and the market’s caprices intertwine.
This revelation was disclosed in the quarterly feasting on numbers that funds must present to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Shift4 Payments, which had been absent from the menu before, has now made a rather grand entry, and it’s hard not to raise a curious eyebrow at this bold move.
The $159.34 million stake, disclosed in a November 3, 2025 SEC filing, is a signal as loud as a foghorn in a vacuum. For context, that’s roughly the cost of buying every chair in Hong Kong twice over, assuming chairs still exist in 2025. The fund’s top five holdings now read like a menu from a high-stakes poker game: SUPX, NVDA, ETHA, GOOGL, and ETHU. One wonders if the fund’s portfolio manager spends their evenings staring at a dartboard covered in stock tickers, muttering, “Well, it’s either this or another night of existential dread.”
A filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission-document number 4,723,901 in the endless saga of human avarice-revealed that Gimbal Financial had, sometime between sips of overpriced bourbon and muttered prayers to the algorithm gods, amassed this position during Q3. By September 30, the ETF had become the firm’s second-largest holding, valued at $17.59 million. One might call it a “strategic allocation.” A cynic would call it buying a lottery ticket and calling it a business plan.
