Madison Investments, an investment advisor, released its Q2 2025 investor letter. Here is what the fund said:

“We initiated positions in Airbnb, CDW Corporation and Gartner, Inc. (NYSE:IT) and sold Berkshire Hathaway. The final new investment during the second quarter was in Gartner, a global leader in technology research. The company has an attractive business model characterized by recurring revenues, strong pricing power, negative working capital and high return on invested capital. The firm maintains a strong competitive advantage from its renowned brand as well as its unmatched scale and resulting ‘information network.’ We believe the company’s long-term growth outlook is excellent due to the increasing need for sophisticated technology research, coupled with Gartner’s small share of its addressable market. The stock has underperformed recently on concerns over slowing subscription growth, which we believe will prove to be short-lived. The currently depressed valuation was too attractive to pass up.”

While we acknowledge the potential of IT as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you’re looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.
