Foolish take
The acquisition of 883,376 Genius Sports shares was one of the largest additions that Hodges made to its portfolio in the third quarter. That said, it isn't one of the largest holdings in the portfolio. It didn't land in the top five or the top 20.
Shares of Genius Sports had been having a terrific year. In late September, the stock was up by more than 50% in 2025. When the market closed on Nov. 7, 2025, though, the stock was down 24.5% from its previous peak.
Investors reacted poorly to a third-quarter earnings report that included a net loss of $28.8 million. In the previous year period, the company reported a gain of $12.5 million.
Genius Sports' top line has been growing by leaps and bounds. The company reported third-quarter sales that soared 38% year over year to $166.3 million. Management expects continued growth, at least on the top line. Revenue is expected to climb 28% this year to reach $655 million.
