  "account": "Madison Investments revealed in its Q2 2026 investor letter that MKS Inc. (NASDAQ:MKSI) played a significant role in the strong performance of the Russell Midcap Index. The index's gains were primarily driven by enthusiasm for Artificial Intelligence, with nine of the ten largest companies benefiting directly from the AI data-center boom. Among these, MKS Inc. experienced a 110.08% increase over the past year, despite a 4.19% decline in the past month. The Class Y of the Fund returned 8.58% in the quarter, slightly lagging behind the Russell Midcap's 13.83% return. Madison Mid Cap Fund highlighted MKS Inc. as one of the five top contributors for the quarter, alongside Amphenol, Arista Networks, Bio Techne, and Waters. The document noted that MKS Inc. is benefiting from the growing demand for semiconductor manufacturing instruments and equipment, as the supply of semiconductors, particularly memory chips, is tight. The company's stock has a market capitalization of $17.60 billion, and its shares have traded between $119.62 and $447.62 over the past year.",
