“We exited our position at Diamond Hill (DHIL) after a disappointing earnings release. We have been in and out of the stock over the last fifteen years. We believe there has always been a tension on whether the firm was being run for shareholders or its employees, which gets reflected in their operating margin. Second quarter operating margins were well below our expectations, and the company decreased their share buyback when the share price declined sharply, the exact opposite of what they should have done.”
