Heartland's 3 Tactical Q2 Moves: Trimming Risk, Harvesting Losses, And Raising Cash
We remain patient and opportunistic, raising cash to capitalize on future volatility and focusing on stocks meeting our 10 Principles of Value Investing™. We initiated a position in Applied Materials, leveraging semiconductor industry weakness, and see secular tailwinds and potential for multiple expansion to the low $300s. Sensient Technologies delivered strong results on natural color demand, but with valuation now higher, the risk-reward is less compelling than at initial purchase.

Sensient Technologies: Ingredients Play Is Riding The Tougher Food Regulation Trend
Sensient Technologies has seen a sharp share price rally, driven by hopes for regulatory tailwinds and healthier food trends, despite modest operational improvements. Recent earnings and sales growth are solid but not spectacular, with valuation multiples now stretched to 33-34x earnings after the stock's 50% surge. The business could benefit from stricter regulations on artificial ingredients, but the impact and timing remain uncertain, making me cautious at current levels.
