(NASDAQ:DORM) in its Q1 2026 investor letter: "In Q1, we added two new positions – First American Financial (FAF) and Dorman Products, Inc. (NASDAQ:DORM). Dorman Products manufactures and sells aftermarket car parts. The company scores well on our dashboard, having grown historically at a consistent mid-single digit rate, with high returns on capital in a non-cyclical industry. Debt to EBITDA is less than 1x, and DORM uses its cash flow to buy back stock. 2026 earnings will tick down as the company laps an accounting treatment that allowed Dorman to put lower cost, pre-tariff inventory through its cost of goods sold. Dorman is currently trading at a discount to its historical earnings multiple and we believe its shares are attractively priced." Dorman Products, Inc.
