Foolish Take

Resideo just posted one of its strongest quarters ever, with record net income of $156 million (up a staggering 680% year over year), record adjusted EBITDA of $229 million (up 21%), and gross margins pushing nearly 30%. Both operating segments expanded margins again, extending a multi-quarter streak that speaks to real execution rather than one-off cost cuts.

Against that backdrop, trimming a position doesn’t read as a loss of conviction. In fact, Resideo remains the fund’s largest holding, even after the reduction, which suggests portfolio discipline rather than a changed thesis. Locking in gains amid a staggering run while keeping a double-digit allocation is often how long-term investors rebalance risk, especially when a single stock grows faster than the rest of the portfolio.

The broader context matters too. This portfolio is concentrated in industrials, materials, and infrastructure-linked names, and Resideo fits neatly alongside those holdings as a cash-generating, asset-heavy business tied to essential housing and safety systems. With management guiding to up to $832 million in full-year adjusted EBITDA and a planned business separation ahead, the story looks less about timing the top and more about managing exposure as the investment matures.
