Ariel Investments
2026Q1 brief
Ariel Investments' $8.93B deep-value, small/mid-cap portfolio remained characteristically patient in Q1 2026, with incremental adds and trims rather than wholesale repositioning across its 106-position book. The most notable build was ZBRA (+63.4% to 1.8%), reflecting renewed conviction in the enterprise mobility hardware name after its prolonged drawdown. RLI saw the largest percentage add (+133.7% to 0.6%), a niche specialty insurer that fits Ariel's preference for underappreciated financial compounders. On the trim side, SPHR was cut 22.3% (still a top-5 holding at 3.2%) after what has been a long-held entertainment real estate position, and KMT and MSFT were each reduced by more than 60%—the latter consistent with Ariel's historic skepticism toward mega-cap tech. Exits included COF, Check Point, and HUM, removing some financials and healthcare exposure. New positions in SMG (0.7%) and FITB (0.3%) are modest but suggest interest in consumer lawn/garden and regional banking. With top-5 at just 18% across 106 names, concentration remains low. Watch whether ZBRA and ONESPAWORLD (OSW, #2 at 4.0%) continue to grow as Ariel's highest-conviction mid-cap recovery bets.
