Commentary
Value stocks posted strong gains in Q3 2025, navigating a mixed economic landscape shaped by persistent inflation and cautious consumer sentiment. Returns for value stocks broadened out during the quarter with all but one sector (Consumer Staples) providing positive returns. Performance from the Communication Services and Utilities Sectors led the way. While the Federal Reserve’s rate cut offered some relief, concerns around slowing job growth and global trade uncertainty kept investors selective. The quarter reinforced a steady, risk-aware approach to value investing, with market participants favoring companies with strong balance sheets and consistent cash flows amidst an uneven recovery. The Commerce MidCap Value Fund’s return of 4.24% underperformed the Russell MidCap Value Index return of 6.18%.
Stock selection detracted from the Fund’s performance. The Fund’s strongest contributors were Corning Inc (1.90%), Cummins Inc (1.54%), and Valero Energy Corporation (1.45%), returning 56.63%, 29.61%, and 27.71%, respectively. The Fund’s top detractors were Eastman Chemical Company (0.96%), Darden Restaurants, Inc. (1.00%), and Texas Pacific Land Corporation (1.00%), returning -14.47%, -12.05%, and -11.47%, respectively.
The Fund’s sector allocation added to performance for the quarter. The Fund’s 1.60% overweight in the Information Technology sector, which returned 12.89%, added to performance as it was the best performing sector. The Index had an 9.39% weight in the Information Technology sector. There were no sectors where asset allocation was a detractor.
