The firm does not do fundamental research, it buys stakes in hundreds/thousands of small cap value stocks (in order to make what is effectively a "small cap value index"). When large blocks come for sale, DFA will act opportunistically (to reduce transaction costs). Point being, the fact that DFA upped its stake in INAP doesn't mean that DFA has strong conviction in INAP's fundamentals.
