| TICKER | COMMENTARY |
|---|---|
| ATI | ATI (ATI) was the second largest contributor to our long book during the fourth quarter. ATI primarily produces highly differentiated specialty materials for regulated industries with long lead times and higher barriers to entry such as Aerospace & Defense ("A&D") and medical. Historically, we have had success identifying unique aerospace companies, which have seen incredibly consistent passenger growth over the last ten and twenty years at 5-6% and 4-5%, respectively. ATI derives 86% of its revenues from the aerospace & defense industry, including 62% from the higher value commercial jet engine market. Currently, the industry is experiencing a shortage of engine capacity leading to sustained multi-year pricing power for producers like ATI. To put this in perspective, in Q3 2025 the company reported adjusted EBITDA margins of 20% compared to 13.7% three years ago. The A&D sector is characterized by long-life platforms, as commercial jet engines generally last for multiple decades and have regular, highly regulated maintenance schedules. We believe these dynamics translate into highly visible revenue growth for ATI, and the ability to optimize their operational processes to drive incremental margins. We believe ATI is one of only a handful of global companies capable of supplying aerospace and defense-grade materials that are the building blocks to manufacture airframes, engines, missiles and even parts for nuclear and space programs. The stock has seen a significant positive re-rating as the critical products that it delivers to customers have increased margins by 700 basis points in the last three years. We exited the position as the valuation approached our internally estimated fair-value range. |
| EAT | Brinker International (EAT) was the largest detractor in our short book during the fourth quarter. Brinker's flagship restaurant concept, Chili's Grill & Bar, accounts for 90% of company's sales and operating profits. Chili's is a fifty-year-old restaurant banner whose restaurant count of approximately 1,600 units is roughly the same as ten years ago. A leader in the fragmented and low barrier to entry casual dining industry, the concept is seen as mature with average same-store sales growth of 0.3% between 2010 and 2019 and restaurant-level margins ("RLM") of 13% or lower during the 2010s. Then from fiscal Q4 2024 through fiscal Q1 2026, Chili's same-store sales jumped 14.8%, 14.1%, 31.4%, 31.6%, 23.7%, and 21.4%. This unusually rapid revenue growth created significant operating leverage, with RLMs reaching the high teens. Our experience tells us this level of operating improvement for a mature brand in a crowded industry with low barriers and limited long-term consumer loyalty is unsustainable. We were skeptical that a fifty-year brand with little unit or same-store sales growth over a decade could sustainably change its stripes. We believed Brinker had used all its levers to grow, yet they appear to continue to operate at a high level. Although we covered the position, our process is designed to monitor past names to look for potential reentry points. |
| GTLB | We identified GitLab (GTLB) as a short opportunity based on structural and competitive risks to its business model. GitLab provides a Development, Security, and Operations platform designed to help organizations build, secure, and deploy software across the development lifecycle. The company monetizes its platform through a subscription model primarily priced on the number of developer "seats" at each customer. We believe this model is increasingly vulnerable as advances in Generative Artificial Intelligence reshape how software is developed. Over the past several years, GenAI has emerged as one of the defining investment themes, driving significant investment in AI infrastructure and spurring rapid innovation in AI‑enabled coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf. These tools have expanded developers' productivity and, in some cases, reduced the amount of manual coding required, raising questions about long‑term demand for traditional seat‑based pricing models. In addition, GitLab's unified platform faces growing competitive pressure from AI‑native point solutions as enterprises increasingly favor best‑of‑breed tools rather than bundled offerings. Competitive intensity is further heightened by GitHub, owned by Microsoft, which continues to benefit from Microsoft's substantial distribution advantages and has increasingly become a widely adopted platform for developers. Recent operating trends have reinforced these concerns, with net customer additions at higher spending tiers, slowing meaningfully compared to the prior year. Taken together, we believe these dynamics increase the risk of revenue growth underperformance and valuation pressure should expectations fail to be met. |
| INOD | Innodata (INOD) was the second largest contributor to our short book during the fourth quarter. Innodata is an AI service company, meaning it relies on human capital for data annotation, validation and AI safety work that its customers would rather not perform themselves. The company has a long history with several pivots with its business model over the years. Initially, in 1988, Innodata helped convert information products from print to digital for distribution on the internet. Fast forward to today and Innodata finds itself in the "right place, right time," according to one sell side firm, to deliver AI data preparation to Large Language Model providers such as OpenAI. This is not high value as illustrated by Innodata's gross margins in the low 40% range. We were skeptical that the company had carved out a sustainable moat, particularly as private competitors have attracted significant capital at high valuations, which underscores the competitive intensity of the space. Innodata also has notable customer concentration with its largest customer making up a significant portion of consolidated sales. This customer is believed to be META, who made a $14 billion investment in ScaleAI, a rival to Innodata, which further raises concerns about the value of Innodata's services. Moreover, it does not help that the company's customer service terms allow for 30-to-90-day cancellation of projects, leading to lower revenue visibility which we believe could easily come in below expectations. For these reasons, we shorted the stock given our conviction that Innodata may be competitively disadvantaged as AI workflows evolve, accepting the contrarian view that a rising AI tide could lift all boats. Our timing was fortuitous, and we covered our position shortly after the start of the New Year. |
| KTB | We identified Kontoor Brands (KTB) as a short opportunity following notable turnover within the company's leadership team. The departures of the EVP and COO came on the heels of a surprise CEO transition related to the acquisition of Helly Hansen. While some degree of management turnover is to be expected, we believe multiple senior departures occurring in close succession can signal underlying business challenges. We also view certain mergers and acquisitions as potential indicators that a company's core business may be under pressure. In our assessment, Kontoor paid a meaningful premium for the Helly Hansen acquisition, which we believe increases the risk that the transaction could ultimately prove value‑destructive. In addition, we believe industry data and brand‑level trends point to rising competitive pressures across Kontoor's portfolio. Taken together, we believe these factors increase the possibility of disappointing operating results and create risk that the stock could rerate lower should fundamentals continue to deteriorate. |
| META | On January 9, Meta Platforms unveiled a new agreement with Vistra—the largest generator of competitive electricity in the United States—as well as with TerraPower and Oklo. The announcement builds on Meta's agreement last year with Constellation Energy and positions the company to become one of the largest corporate purchasers of nuclear-generated electricity in the United States. |
| MSFT | MSFT was a detractor in 4Q25 following its fiscal first-quarter 2026 earnings report released on October 29. While results were better than expected operationally, investor reaction was driven by guidance and capital expenditure intensity rather than headline performance. Revenue grew 17% year-over-year, exceeding consensus expectations, and Azure revenue increased 39% year-over-year, also ahead of estimates. However, management guided to a sequential deceleration in Azure growth in fiscal Q2, signaling some moderation after a period of exceptional demand. |
| PDFS | PDF Solutions (PDFS) sits at the nexus of several strong industry trends, and the company outlined its vision for the future in December 2025. The semiconductor industry is undergoing high growth as it meets normal demand and the demand from the AI buildout. The company's e-probe business is seeing orders pick up for this tool that enables higher yields in rapidly growing 3-D semiconductor structures. The company's Exensio business acts at a neutral database enabling the multiple layers and steps in the supply chain to share information and continuously work towards improved yields. With the U.S. building out a denser network of semiconductor supply chains across the country, we believe the need for PDFS's solutions is increasing. As companies build out multiple supply chains, we believe the need to cooperate and share data is rising and that this increases the value proposition for PDFS. The company expects revenues to grow at or above 20% and to deliver operating margins in the high 20s. We believe these financial factors and being in the middle of two key industry trends could support meaningful valuation expansion over time. |
| RVTY | Revvity (RVTY) has undergone a series of corporate changes and, in our view, is effectively a "new company with a new name" for most investors. Today, we believe Revvity's portfolio mix is significantly improved, with approximately half of revenues derived from diagnostics and half from life sciences. More than 80% of revenue is recurring, and the company benefits from generally high switching costs across its end markets. Following several years of subpar growth, Revvity expects low single‑digit revenue growth in 2026, with longer‑term revenues anticipated to trend toward mid‑ to high‑single‑digit growth. We believe this revenue acceleration has the potential to drive margin expansion from the high‑20% range toward the mid‑30s over time and may support the emergence of a "beat and raise" narrative as the recovery unfolds. |
| SITM | SiTime Corp (SITM) was the largest contributor to our long book during the fourth quarter. SiTime is the leading provider of precision timing solutions to the global electronics industry. Personal electronics including your phone, computer, and car require extremely precise clocks to keep everything in sync. So too, do AI data centers. Traditionally, companies used quartz crystals, however, Micro-Electro-Mechanical System oscillators, like the ones SiTime produces, are smaller, more precise, and easier to program. SiTime is a leading provider with a primary focus on precision timing applications. Although the total addressable market is relatively small ($4.5 billion oscillators, $4.5 billion resonators, and $2 billion clocks with $315 million in estimated FY 2025 revenues), we believe SiTime has excellent growth potential. We believe CEO Rajesh Vashist's execution has been strong, and the company's Communications, Enterprise and Datacenter ("CED") segment sales grew 115% year-over-year in Q3 2025. This is the sixth consecutive quarter of triple-digit growth in CED, a segment that represents slightly more than 50% of consolidated sales. In a response to a question on the Q3 call regarding the sustainability of growth from the data center ecosystem, Rajesh said, "we are in the early innings … we're selling to semiconductor companies, hyperscalers, OEMs, ODMs, module makers and active cable makers. SiTime has an embarrassment of riches." While we are bullish on SITM's prospects, its recent appreciation took the stock to a valuation where we no longer saw material upside, and we exited the position. |
| STUB | StubHub Holdings (STUB) was the largest contributor to our short book during the fourth quarter. StubHub operates one of the largest global secondary ticketing marketplaces for live events. The marketplace connects fans (consumers) with ticket resellers. StubHub went public in September 2025 and our work on public competitor Vivid Seats (SEAT) informed us of our decision to short StubHub. In our view, StubHub sells a commoditized product available to other reseller networks, which is very difficult to differentiate versus its peers. Consumers are also infrequent purchasers of live events, which creates high acquisition costs and low loyalty to any one marketplace. Finally, the pricing (primarily high service fees) creates a negative consumer experience. As we analyzed the financials, we believed the company was effectively trying to buy growth since sales in FY 2025 grew 29%, yet sales and marketing grew 60%, a strategy potentially seeking to drive a higher valuation at its IPO. As the valuation was more than double its nearest competitor, we saw an opportunity to short the stock given low switching costs, intense competition, and uncertain future fundamentals. StubHub failed to provide guidance on its Q3 2025 call, and investors sold the stock aggressively. We closed the position following the post-earnings move. |
| TKNO | Alpha Teknova (TKNO) was the largest detractor in our long book during the fourth quarter. Alpha Teknova is a leading producer of critical reagents for the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel therapies, vaccines, and molecular diagnostics. One of our favorite archetypes is companies that make the 'picks & shovels' of their industry. Alpha Teknova doesn't invent new medicines or vaccines, but it provides the tools like reagents and lab supplies for over 3,000 biotech customers to grow cells, mix chemical reactions, and run experiments. We believe the beauty of its business model is that Alpha Teknova's products generate recurring revenues with high switching costs since customers do not want to refile technical paperwork with the FDA on their drug development programs. Unfortunately, the company has faced macro headwinds, including a multi-year pandemic hangover, a poor biotech funding environment, and concerns about government and academic spending priorities, all of which have caused customer caution. Based on our analysis, we believe Alpha Teknova's recurring revenue model and end‑market positioning offer compelling upside potential as industry conditions normalize. |
