News

Latest USLM news & analysis

The London Company Large Cap Vs. Russell 1000 Q2 2026 Portfolio Review

Seeking Alpha · 5 Aug 2026neutral

The London Company's Large Cap portfolio returned 10.9% (10.7% net) during Q2 2026 versus a 15.1% gain in the Russell 1000 Index. ENTG was a top contributor on improving fab utilization and AI-driven semiconductor demand, while RSG declined despite a solid quarter due to softer Environmental Solutions results and continued weakness in construction-related volumes.

Why it matters — USLM is not mentioned in this portfolio review, so USLM watchers may find it relevant only as background market context, though the noted weakness in construction-related volumes could be notable given the sector's ties to lime products.

Diamond Hill Small Cap Fund Q2 2026 Portfolio Activity

Seeking Alpha · 5 Aug 2026neutral

Diamond Hill Small Cap Fund's Q2 2026 portfolio update reports that Astrana Health outperformed, Magnolia Oil & Gas declined after a US-Iran war-ending agreement reopened the Strait of Hormuz, and the fund initiated a position in Insteel Industries. No specific mention is made of US Lime & Minerals.

Why it matters — The item discusses holdings and portfolio activity of a small-cap fund but contains no reference to USLM, so it offers no direct insight for a USLM watcher.

United States Lime & Minerals Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results and Declares Regular Quarterly Cash Dividend

GlobeNewsWire · 29 July 2026positive

United States Lime & Minerals reported Q2 2026 revenues of $99.1 million, up 8.3% from $91.5 million in Q2 2025, driven by increased demand from construction and steel customers. The company also declared its regular quarterly cash dividend.

Why it matters — USLM watchers would note the revenue growth in both the quarter and first half of 2026, with increased demand from construction and steel customers partially offset by weaker demand from roof shingle customers.
