But sometimes the most interesting setups are hiding in plain sight: a micro-cap media company quietly becoming a digital business, a uniform rental operator working through a real turnaround, and a specialty chemicals company with a much healthier balance sheet.

Ashland (ASH) reported earnings 30 days ago. What's next for the stock?

Ashland's portfolio changes in recent years have been sensible, though some relatively cyclical exposure remains. An impressive variety of growth opportunities exists for the increasingly coherent overall portfolio. The recent involvement of an activist shareholder has lifted the shares sharply since December.

Diamond Hill Select Strategy returned 4.41% (net of fees) and the Russell 3000 Index returned 2.40%. General Motors has taken market share while maintaining pricing and growing in the electric vehicle and software services spaces. Ashland's shares benefited after the investment arm of Standard Industries, a prominent activist investor in the sector, announced that it took a 10% economic interest in the company, adding to investor confidence.
