Here is what Vulcan Value Partners specifically said about Sleep Number Corporation (NASDAQ:SNBR):

“We purchased Sleep Number Corporation (NASDAQ:SNBR) during the quarter. Sleep Number is a manufacturer, retailer and the exclusive distributor of Sleep Number mattresses and related products. The company has a strong brand, a large installed base of consumers, and it is vertically integrated. Sleep Number has been gaining market share, and the company has a proven track record of pricing power as well as steadily increasing revenue per unit over time. Additionally, we believe the company is making intelligent capital allocation decisions. For example, Sleep Number has repurchased half of its shares outstanding over the past six years. The recent negative macroeconomic environment has led to some concerns around the potential impact on the company during an economic downturn. Sleep Number has also experienced supply chain challenges including chip shortages for some of its smart beds and smart bases. In a recession, we expect Sleep Number’s revenue and margins will be negatively impacted. However, we also believe underlying demand for the product exists and both revenue and margins will normalize over time. Supply chain and other macro concerns negatively impacted the stock price, giving us the opportunity to purchase Sleep Number. We believe Sleep Number is well positioned and the long-term outlook for the business is strong.”
