The Goldman Sachs VIT Mid Cap Value Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Value Index, during the quarter. Western Digital Corporation's stock price rose throughout the quarter as the company benefitted from continued strong demand within its cloud segment, alongside increasing needs for artificial intelligence-driven data storage. Coherent's stock price rose following its earnings results, delivering better than expected earnings and revenue, robust future guidance, and strong demand for its optical solutions.

Value investing is about identifying misalignments between price and medium to long-term fundamentals, not just low multiples. I focus on high-quality, cyclical value stocks like Union Pacific, Old Dominion Freight Line, and Carlisle Companies during downturns. Hidden growth and undervalued quality, as seen in Texas Pacific Land and ONEOK, offer significant upside when the market misjudges resilience or growth.

Consistent efforts to reward its shareholders through dividend payments and share repurchases highlight the financial strength of ODFL.

Old Dominion Freight Line Inc (NASDAQ: ODFL) shares are trading lower Friday afternoon, extending volatility that followed the less-than-truckload carrier's February operating update released after Tuesday's close, while broader market sentiment is also pressured by rising geopolitical tensions and energy price uncertainty.
