T. Rowe Price Equity Income Fund just reported their second quarter portfolio. The fund is run by Brian Rogers, CIO of T. Rowe Price. With the stock market making new highs every day, this is what Brian Rogers wrote in his recent commentary:


We are encouraged by recent economic strength, but we are somewhat cautious on the near-term outlook for U.S. stocks. While earnings have largely been supportive of the overall move in equities, the market's ascent appears to have outpaced the improvement in corporate fundamentals. Corporate balance sheets are in outstanding condition with low debt and high cash levels, but revenue growth remains muted and earnings estimates appear overly optimistic. We are finding fewer opportunities in the current environment and have been content to build a cash position and await more compelling prospects.
