Wasatch Global Investors made the following comment about RBC Bearings Incorporated (NYSE:RBC) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:
“RBC Bearings Incorporated (NYSE:RBC) also contributed. The company sells highly engineered precision bearings and components to the industrial, defense and aerospace industries. Despite its volatility, the stock had been a reasonably good performer over the past several years. From late-2021 through mid-2022, however, the stock was down because investors became nervous about a large acquisition RBC made—likely due to the debt issuance required to pay for the acquisition and due to the follow-on integration challenges. From our perspective, however, we thought there was nothing unusual about stock volatility surrounding an acquisition and we maintained our position in RBC. During the third quarter, we were rewarded for our patience.”
