“Magnachip Semiconductor Corp. (MX) also contributed to Fund performance. The company designs, develops and manufactures mixed-signal and digital multimedia semiconductors. We think Magnachip is a classic “growth at a reasonable price” (GARP) company. The stock was a laggard in 2020, but our belief was that Wall Street underappreciated the company’s earnings and that the P/E ratio would exceed expectations going forward. In the first quarter, we think Magnachip benefited from the realization that the company is a steady—if not spectacular—grower as there was a rotation in preference away from higher-priced growth stocks and toward lower-priced growth stocks. The stock also benefited from news that the company has agreed to be acquired.”
