Digi International (DGII) Surged on Strong Earnings Report

Conestoga Capital Advisors, an asset management company, released its first-quarter 2026 investor letter. A copy of the letter can be downloaded here. The first quarter of 2026 began with optimism about the domestic economy and attractive Small Cap valuations, but was impacted by volatility from Middle East geopolitical unrest and changing interest rate expectations. This unrest drove energy prices up and created cautious global markets. Energy, Basic Materials, and Industrials performed well, while software companies faced challenges due to AI disruption concerns. Market sensitivity to geopolitical events, energy prices, and inflation remains high. The Conestoga Small Cap Composite fell 5.01%, underperforming the Russell 2000 Growth’s -2.81% return. The decline was driven by negative stock selection and headwinds in Technology and Health Care, with sector allocation benefits insufficient to offset losses.
