  "account": "Riverwater Partners' Small Cap Strategy, which trailed the Russell 2000 during Q2 2026, cited accelerating AI investment, energy market disruptions, and heightened appetite for riskier stocks as factors impacting performance. Despite these challenges, the strategy outperformed in energy, materials, and financials, while underperforming in healthcare and consumer discretionary due to its selective avoidance of speculative businesses. Looking forward, the firm anticipates opportunities in AI infrastructure enablers, select consumer companies, healthcare innovators, and energy businesses trading at attractive valuations. Digi International Inc., a provider of IoT connectivity solutions, was singled out as a key contributor, with its stock closing at $75.77 on August 28, 2026. The company has seen a 6.61% return over the past month and a 116.16% gain over 52 weeks. Riverwater Partners highlighted Digi International's 55% growth in its Q2 2026 investor letter, attributing the surge to accelerating demand for connected infrastructure alongside the AI and automation buildout.",
