Diamond Hill Small-Mid Cap Strategy Q2 2026 Portfolio Review

Seeking Alpha · 25 Aug 2026neutral

The article reviews Diamond Hill's Small-Mid Cap Strategy results for Q2 2026, noting a 9.73% net return versus a 20.26% gain for the Russell 2500 Index. It discusses strong performance from Regal Rexnord driven by data center demand and the firm's exit from Wix.com amid fundamental headwinds.

Why it matters — This portfolio review provides context on the fund's holdings and strategy decisions, which may be informative for investors tracking Energy Recovery, Inc. within small-mid cap investment strategies.

Energy Recovery Losses Revenues Outside Of The Middle East Despite The War

Seeking Alpha · 12 Aug 2026negative

Energy Recovery reported a 60% revenue collapse in the second quarter of 2026, with desalination revenues falling 80% and unexplained weakness in Europe and Asia beyond the Iran conflict. The company's balance sheet strength is considered overstated due to depleted receivables, as much of its cash would be needed to rebuild working capital if the business recovers.

Why it matters — The revenue declines outside the Middle East raise concerns about potential structural or competitive issues beyond the Iran conflict, and the company's cash position may not be as strong as it appears.

Diamond Hill Small-Mid Cap Fund Q2 2026 Portfolio Review

Seeking Alpha · 7 Aug 2026neutral

Why it matters — Although the commentary does not mention Energy Recovery, Inc., a holder might monitor whether Diamond Hill's portfolio activity signals interest in or exclusion of small-mid cap names like ERII.
