Top Performers
Carlyle Global (CG) led the sector with revenue growth of +98.8%. Carlyle’s diversified, cycle-tested platforms in credit, AlpInvest, and wealth, combined with strong realization momentum and scalable margins, position the firm for sustained fee and earnings growth despite episodic market volatility.
Carvana (CVNA) led the sector with revenue growth of +58.0%. Carvana’s vertically integrated, AI-enabled model can scale reconditioning and logistics efficiently, using strong unit economics and tax assets to fund aggressive growth and customer value, driving sustained share gains and margin expansion toward its 3 million unit and 13.5% EBITDA margin targets.
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) led the sector with revenue growth of +34.1%. A sustained AI super-cycle across Instinct GPUs and EPYC CPUs, underpinned by strong OpenAI and hyperscaler ramps, drives 60%+ data center growth, expanding margins and EPS as OpEx scales slower than revenue.
Underperformers
PACCAR Inc (PCAR) reported revenue growth of -13.7%. EPA 2027 compliance and pricing pressures could compress margins and slow order momentum in the near term.
GE Health Care (GEHC) reported revenue growth of -12.1%. China weakness, execution and logistics risk around Vorcado and the NPI wave, and reliance on self-help and pricing in a potentially peaking CapEx cycle could prevent GE HealthCare from achieving its mid-term growth and margin targets.
Autodesk (ADSK) reported revenue growth of -6.5%. Macro uncertainty, lingering execution risk from business model and go-to-market transitions, and a slow, cautious approach to AI monetization and pricing could cap upside to growth and profitability versus elevated investor expectations.
