“Fox Factory Holding Corp. (NASDAQ:FOXF), in the consumer discretionary sector, engineers, manufactures and markets ride dynamics products including parts for high-performance bicycles, e-bikes and both on road and all-terrain vehicles. We capitalized on a dip in the stock price due to an inventory glut in the high-performance bike segment to establish a position. The company has been a successful compounder since its 2013 IPO, and we believe it continues to have solid supply agreements with performance vehicle manufacturers as well as a strong balance sheet.”
