Riding Trends in Power Security, Orthopedic Products, and Wireless Towers

Buffalo Funds Discovery co-portfolio manager Dave Carlsen, CFA, was recently interviewed by The Wall Street Transcript where he discusses growth drivers for companies in several sectors, including power grid security, orthopedic products, and wireless towers. He also cites several examples of companies within the Fund’s portfolio that highlight the team’s investment strategy at work:

  • Generac Holdings (NYSE:GNRC)
  • Zimmer Biomet Holdings (NYSE:ZBH)
  • SBA Communications Corporation (NASDAQ:SBAC)
  • Medtronic PLC (NYSE:MDT)
  • T-Mobile US (NASDAQ:TMUS)

We think midcap companies strike the balance between being small enough to grow for an extended period of time, while also being established enough to avoid the business model disruption that can occur when the economy hits a soft patch. ~ Dave Carlsen, CFA, Co-Portfolio Manager, Buffalo Discovery Fund

“This Small-Cap Fund Is Performing Big”

Buffalo Small Cap Fund co-portfolio manager Jamie Cuellar, CFA, was recently featured in an article in Financial Advisor magazine, discussing the future growth potential of small cap stocks. Jamie also discusses growth vs value investing in small cap companies and why they have significantly outperformed value stocks in recent years.

I think more people are willing to step out on the risk curve given that interest rates are low and the economy is improving, and some people are rotating into small caps because of that. ~ Jamie Cuellar, CFA

The article also goes into the Small Cap Fund’s team approach to the companies held in the Fund, and Jamie identified several companies within the Fund’s portfolio that exemplify their investment philosophy:

  • Kornit Digital – KRNT (NASDAQ)
  • Bandwidth Inc. – BAND (NASDAQ)
  • ICF International – ICFI (NASDAQ)

“Money Life Market Call” with Buffalo Discovery Fund PM Ken Laudan

Overview

Buffalo Discovery Fund co-portfolio manager Ken Laudan recently appeared on the “Money Life with Chuck Jaffe” podcast.

During the call, Ken goes in-depth on healthcare investing and provides an overview of his investment methodology. He also covers the current state of the healthcare companies developing the COVID-19 vaccines. Ken also provides thoughts on the following companies:

  • Avantor (NYSE: AVTR)
  • Hologic (NASDAQ: HOLX)
  • Pfizer (NYSE: PFE)
  • AstraZeneca (NASDAQ: AZN)
  • Merck (NYSE: MRK)
  • BioMarin Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: BMRN)
  • Centene (NYSE: CNC)
  • Seagen (NASDAQ: SGEN)
  • Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY)

Going from a vaccine discovery point in March to a commercial product in December is stunning; whether that is replicable post COVID I’m dubious, but it’s certainly a positive thing because I just don’t think we’ll have the type of accommodating FDA that we had seen with respect to the vaccine.
