Fenimore ***** et Management, an investment management company, released its Q2 2026 investor letter. The letter can be downloaded here. U.S. equity markets saw broad gains in Q2, driven by strong corporate earnings, economic resilience, and enthusiasm for artificial intelligence (AI). Major indices reached all-time highs, though the energy sector declined. Continued earnings growth, especially among AI-related investments, supported the rally. Technology, particularly semiconductors, led performance as demand for AI infrastructure surged. Despite macroeconomic uncertainties and interest rate influences, Fenimore remains committed to investing in high-quality businesses. The Fenimore Small Cap Strategy returned 9.51% in the quarter, lagging the Russell 2000 Index's 21.49% gain. The underperformance was largely driven by avoiding lower-quality tech stocks linked to data center expansions. Additionally, reviewing the Fund's top five holdings could help identify its best picks for 2026.
In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, Fenimore ***** et Management highlighted Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:RYAN). Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:RYAN) is a specialty insurance services company that provides distribution, underwriting, product development, administration, and risk management services. On September 17, 2026, Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:RYAN) closed at $40.03 per share. The one-month return of Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:RYAN) was -8.32%, and its shares lost 25.53% over the past 52 weeks. Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:RYAN) has a market capitalization of $10.15 billion.
Fenimore ***** et Management stated the following regarding Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:RYAN) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"We initiated a position in Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:RYAN), which we had previously owned after its initial public offering. The insurance industry has seen softness in rates. While RYAN's model differs from traditional retail brokerage, the company released results citing a volatile environment which led to a decrease in their earnings outlook for the year. We're encouraged by the business's long-term prospects and, in our opinion, its legendary leader Pat Ryan. He is also purchasing shares of RYAN's stock during this weakness."
Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:RYAN) is not on our list of 40 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds Heading Into 2026. According to our database, 32 hedge fund portfolios held Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:RYAN) at the end of the second quarter, compared to 35 in the previous quarter. While we acknowledge the potential of Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:RYAN) as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.

Bain Capital Ventures closed its 11th flagship fund at $1.6 billion on Wednesday, betting big on a "post-AGI world" that places AI agents as the chief economic driver of productivity.
The firm has been swapping software for something venture capital has never underwritten: AI-native companies that sell the work itself rather than the technology behind it.
Software startups made up 80% of Fund IX and around 20% of Fund X, said partner Matt Harris. For Fund X, AI-native startups made up 80% of the portfolio.
"The classic software startup is just not being born anymore," Harris said. "These companies where AI is just one feature among many, I think that's thoroughly uninteresting to us and, most importantly, to the most ambitious founders."
BCV defines "post-AGI" as AI agents being as productive as humans. This model's first proof point came in the form of Reserv, an AI-native insurance claims administration startup that the firm incubated with Altai Ventures and other partners. According to Harris, the company hit $100 million in revenue in its second full year. In May, the company raised a $125 million Series C.

Every 3% or 5% single-day pop in technology stocks and high-beta market darlings is being hailed by retail momentum chasers as the definitive return of the bull market. I'm a natural skeptic, hardened by decades of seeing markets cycle up and down. And I just don't see the bull market returning in force for a while… and maybe a long, long while.
To be clear, it doesn't prompt me to "exit the market," no more than it would prompt me to "pile into stocks" when the coast looks clearer. To me, investing in the stock market is never about "do I" or "don't I." It is always about "how much do I allocate?"

Monthly car payments continue to hit record levels for both new and used cars.
The overall cost of car ownership remains elevated due to steep insurance and car maintenance prices in addition to the cost of a loan.
Good credit scores are key to qualifying for the best auto loan rates and driving away with a competitive monthly payment.
New car prices remain steep, with monthly payments for new cars soaring to the highest levels ever recorded. Amid this environment, buyers are taking on increasingly larger loans to make vehicle purchases, and some are also stretching repayment over a longer timeline — in some cases, up to seven years.
Whether you have poor credit or are looking to refinance your current loan, it's important to understand typical monthly payments and rates so you can feel confident that you are getting the best deal. While auto loan rates in 2026 are projected to lower slightly, it won't be enough to put a serious dent in the many factors that are driving up the cost of car ownership, including continued high cost of auto insurance and maintenance expenses.

Nvidia (NVDA) has been powering the ongoing artificial intelligence (AI) boom. Its graphics processing units (GPUs), central processing units (CPUs), networking products, and increasingly integrated AI systems continue to benefit from enormous investments in data center infrastructure. As a result, NVDA has continued to deliver impressive financial results.
Notably, concerns about a potential slowdown in AI development have weighed on semiconductor stocks, raising fears that the enormous spending on AI infrastructure could eventually moderate. However, demand for Nvidia's products is unlikely to slow, and the company could continue delivering extraordinary growth.

Corning Incorporated (GLW), the 175-year-old materials science giant based in Corning, New York, has become one of the more surprising beneficiaries of the artificial intelligence infrastructure buildout. Best known for its glass, ceramics, and optical technology innovations, Corning now plays a critical behind-the-scenes role as the dominant supplier of optical fiber powering hyperscale data centers and AI networks. The company has locked in major long-term supply agreements with tech heavyweights including Apple (AAPL), Meta (META), Nvidia (NVDA), Amazon (AMZN), and Verizon (VZ).
Corning stock has swung wildly of late, recently trading near $144 after plunging more than 13% in a single session following news of a $2 billion at-the-market equity offering arranged with Goldman Sachs, a move that reignited investor concerns over shareholder dilution. Shares now sit roughly in the middle of a wide 52-week range spanning $75.77 to $271.78, capturing a dramatic round trip. Corning suffered its worst monthly drop in 24 years this past July, only to rebound 8% in early September after unveiling a multibillion-dollar, 80-million-mile fiber supply deal with Verizon.

Tesla (TSLA) has had a rough 2026. The stock is down about 20% year-to-date (YTD), falling from $458.34 on the first trading day of the year to $297.38 in late July. That is a decline of more than 27% from peak to trough.
Its much-publicized Cybercab launch also disappointed investors. Tesla launched the robotaxi service in Austin on Sept. 3 with only 45 vehicles registered in Texas. The stock then dropped nearly 6% the next day, wiping out its 5.4% pre-launch gain, after federal safety regulators opened an audit into about 1,000 steering-wheel-free vehicles. Tesla's Model Y-based driverless ride service is still limited to seven U.S. metro areas.

The Baldwin Insurance Group (BWIN) is suddenly in the spotlight after Michael Dell's family office and Sequence Holdings agreed to take the insurance broker private in a deal valued at about $7.7 billion. The offer calls for $32.50 in cash for each share. That represents an 88% premium to Baldwin's unaffected June 17 closing price. Shares jumped 7.5% to $31.89 after the deal was announced on Sept. 14.
For investors, the story is now less about what Baldwin might be worth as a standalone public company and more about whether the proposed transaction closes as planned. The deal also gives Baldwin access to long-duration capital outside the public markets. That could help the company keep investing in acquisitions, technology, and artificial intelligence without the same pressure to deliver results every quarter.

The U.S. has between 3,000 and 4,700 active data centers, with plans to build another 1,500. Globally, there are about 11,800, with plans to add about 100 gigawatts of new capacity by 2030. All of which creates substantial opportunity for beaten-down stocks such as ASML Holding (ASML). However, to run all of those data centers, the world needs advanced AI chips. Today's most advanced data-center AI processors, manufactured on 4nm, 5nm, and certain 7nm processes, depend heavily on ASML's lithography technology. And as the industry moves toward 2nm production, that dependence on ASML's EUV systems will become even more important.
Some of those companies include Samsung Electronics (SMSN.L.IX), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM), and Intel (INTC). All of which are moving forward with ASML's High-Numerical Aperture extreme ultraviolet lithography systems, better known as High-NA EUV. In short, AI must have powerful chips to run. And those chips are becoming much harder to manufacture, with ASML producing the machines that make their production possible.

Over the past few months, **** eX (SPCX) has hogged so much of the limelight that Elon Musk's "other" company, Tesla (TSLA), has slipped completely under the radar. Yet, the EV leader is looking to go back to the past to grow in the future.
An event scheduled for Oct. 1 is expected to provide a major glimpse into the second-generation Roadster—a car that the company sold between 2008 and 2012 and was the one that put it on the automobile map of the world. Described as the company's first production vehicle and built with a Lotus Elise Chassis, the Roadster offered things that no other electric vehicle did at that time. 0-60 mph in 39 seconds, had a top speed of 120 mph, and an initial range of 200+ miles, which eventually rose to 245.

On September 14, Dave & Buster's Entertainment (NASDAQ:PLAY) reported second-quarter fiscal 2026 results that read like two different companies at once. Revenue fell, and the company posted a net loss for the period ended August 4, yet comparable sales, which had been sliding for more than a year, kept getting less bad every month from June through the first five weeks of the third quarter. New CEO Darin Harper is betting that improvement compounds into something bigger.
The clearest evidence is the trend line itself. Comparable store sales fell 5.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, then 2.9% in the second quarter, then just 1.6% in July after a 5% decline in June, and Harper said trends improved further over the first five weeks of the third quarter. Food and beverage sales are moving in the opposite direction entirely, up 7.6% in the quarter and positive for five straight quarters, helped by the Eat & Play Combo, a bundled meal and game credit offer sold through kiosks. Special event sales have now grown for seven consecutive quarters.
Behind that shift sits a rebuilt leadership bench. Dave & Buster's went more than a year without a chief marketing officer, and Harper has since added a CMO, a chief operations officer, a chief technology officer, and a chief legal officer since taking over. The company also leaned on new content, launching 10 games and attractions this year, including tie-ins with Mandalorian and Grogu, John Wick and Stranger Things, after research found more than 70% of guests said new games would bring them back more often. Changes to game pricing pushed play and dwell time up 16% to 20% or more. Six remodeled stores are already outperforming the rest of the chain, and management says the newest remodel template costs less to build than the last one. Net capital spending dropped to $127.6 million through the first half of the year from $155.4 million, and adjusted free cash flow swung to positive $19.5 million from negative $36.5 million, a $56 million improvement.
The headline figures were still rough. Total revenue slipped 2.4% to $544.1 million from $557.4 million a year earlier, and adjusted EBITDA dropped to $98.9 million, an 18.2% margin, from $129.8 million and a 23.3% margin. On a GAAP basis, the company posted a net loss of $12.5 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, versus net income of $11.4 million in the same quarter last year. About $15 million of the EBITDA decline came from items management calls non-normalized, including a $10 million noncash deferral adjustment that did not repeat this year, $3 million in extra preopening costs and $2 million in higher insurance expenses, but even stripped of those, the underlying decline was still roughly $16 million.
