THIS FUND FERRETS OUT HIGH-QUALITY STOCKS

Same Story, Different Year

WHAT does the Federal Reserve's rate-reduction initiative mean in the short run for your fixed-income holdings?

VALUE investing enjoyed 15 minutes of sunshine in early 2025, when the S&P 500 sank 19% from its February peak to its early April trough. Dodge & Cox Stock held up better, albeit with a 15% decline. Since then, the large-company value fund has rebounded 21% through September. That’s impressive, but it lags the S&P 500, which has bounced 34%. All told, over the past 12 months through September 30, Dodge & Cox Stock has climbed just over 9%, far short of the nearly 18% gain in the S&P 500.
