Loomis Sayles Small Cap Value Fund stated the following regarding Limbach Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:LMB) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter:

"Limbach Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:LMB) is a building and industrial mechanical contractor, with expertise in the installation, management and maintenance of HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), electrical, plumbing and control systems. The company is in year three of a new strategy to emphasize direct relationships with building owners, while de-emphasizing work with general contractors. The result has been higher margins, less competitive bidding, reduced sensitivity to macroeconomic conditions and new building projects, and a higher proportion of recurring maintenance and service contracts. At the time of our original purchase in May of 2024 Limbach was a $560M market cap company with only two boutique, sell-side analysts covering the stock. As the new strategy has steadily gained traction, investor interest has broadened, and the stock price has advanced. During the second quarter of 2025, the company released another strong quarterly earnings report with revenue growth accelerating as the increase in owner direct sales more than offset the modest decline in general contractor revenue. With the improvement in sales and earnings growth, the stocks valuation has increased, prompting us to reduce the position size during the quarter."
