One profitable company whose shares we've held for years, and that demonstrates why a focus on shareholder value creation matters in the long run, is Old Republic International. A new mid-cap holding in the quarter was Prestige Consumer Healthcare, whose over-the-counter brands are familiar to many. A multi-year holding that has struggled recently is Watsco, the largest wholesale distributor of HVAC and refrigeration equipment in the United States.

It published its latest quarterly figures, and investors weren't impressed by the performance. It missed significantly on the consensus analyst estimate for profitability.
