Management highlighted strong order activity across its Precision Devices business, with a sixth consecutive quarter of book-to-bill above 1.0x supporting confidence in continued growth.
Knowles Corp. is a global manufacturer of specialty electronic components serving medical, defense and industrial markets. Recent strategic initiatives have reshaped the portfolio toward higher-margin, mission-critical end markets with more durable demand drivers. We believe the current valuation does not fully reflect the improved business mix and long-term growth potential, so we initiated a position during the quarter.
Knowles has been a strong performer in our portfolio, benefiting from the ongoing demand in the semiconductor space. The company has shown resilience amidst market volatility, and we believe it possesses a significant competitive advantage due to its innovative technology and strong market position. As AI continues to drive growth in the tech sector, Knowles is well-positioned to capitalize on these trends, making it an attractive investment for the long term.
