<p><a href="https://www.insidermonkey.com/institutional-investor/artisan-partners-limited-partnership/26598/">Artisan Partners</a>, an investment management company, released its fourth-quarter 2025 investor letter for “Artisan Small Cap Fund”. A copy of the letter can be <a href="https://www.insidermonkey.com/blog/artisan-small-cap-funds-q4-2025-investor-letter-1718369/">downloaded here</a>. The Fund seeks to invest in companies that possess franchise characteristics, with strong earnings trajectories, and are trading at a discount to the estimated private market value. Despite strong results in 2025, volatility was elevated, and sentiment shifted frequently, influenced by political developments in the US, evolving trade policy rhetoric, changing expectations for monetary policy, and ongoing geopolitical tensions. Against this backdrop, the Fund posted strong absolute returns in the fourth quarter, outperforming both the Russell 2000® Growth Index and the Russell 2000® Index. The portfolio delivered strong results in the quarter across all segments. In contrast, for the full year, the Fund generated strong results but trailed both the indexes. In Q4 2025, the market leadership shifted back to companies with durable profit cycles. Moving to 2026, the firm continues to focus on its proven technique of identifying profit cycles in franchise companies at reasonable valuations.

<p>Artisan Small Cap Fund stated the following regarding Hexcel Corporation (NYSE:HXL) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"We also added to Bruker, Hexcel Corporation (NYSE:HXL) and Penumbra during the quarter. Hexcel is a leading aerospace composites supplier, well positioned to benefit from the recovery in aircraft production and a record industry backlog. We moved Hexcel to the top of the Garden SM this quarter, as we believe the worst of the cyclical pressures on new aircraft programs is behind us. With production ramping up, Hexcel should gain from higher build rates and increased composite content per aircraft. The company invested ahead of the upturn and faced inflationary pressures that it could not fully offset in recent years. As production accelerates, we expect Hexcel to recapture most, if not all, of these costs."</p>
