Distillate Capital's Q1 2026 letter focuses on how market volatility creates opportunities through systematic rebalancing. Despite modest market declines, wide dispersion in individual stock returns allowed the firm to rotate out of appreciated, expensive names into cheaper alternatives, increasing underlying free cash flows at the portfolio level. The firm demonstrates that fundamentals, not valuation multiples, drive long-term returns, citing historical data showing earnings growth as the primary driver of S&P 500 performance since 1900. Their value strategy outperformed by focusing on the cheapest quintile of stocks based on free cash flow yields, which have historically delivered superior returns. Key risks include rich market valuations, technological uncertainty, budget deficit inflation, and geopolitical turmoil. The firm added significantly to Salesforce, viewing it as attractively valued after falling from 40-50x to 11x free cash flow multiples. Their U.S. FSV strategy now trades at its cheapest level ever, both absolutely and relatively, while maintaining quality metrics through low debt and stable cash flows.
Fundamentals drive long-term returns, and systematic rebalancing from expensive to cheaper stocks based on free cash flow yields can generate superior fundamental growth at the portfolio level, leading to outperformance over time.
The firm expects fundamentals to continue driving returns over the long term, as they have historically. They plan to continue taking advantage of market turmoil through systematic rebalancing to benefit their value-driven strategies. While they acknowledge various risks, they remain focused on owning a diversified portfolio with much better valuation, less debt, greater cash flow stability, and superior fundamental growth.

|---|---|
| CRM | Salesforce was the largest added-to position in the quarter and typifies the type of opportunity we are seeing. While the company has previously traded at levels we consider very expensive, 40-50x NTM FCF, that multiple has now dropped to around 11x while underlying free cash per share has grown solidly. The stock fell amid worries about how AI might impact it in the longer term even though fundamentals remain strong. While we do not know what the future holds, the company is trading at a valuation at which it can buy back nearly 10% of its stock each year. If fundamentals keep growing even modestly, the company will in theory be able to buy back all its equity in just a few years. This is reminiscent of Microsoft 15 years ago when fears of competition from free Google products and management concerns rendered it similarly cheap. It proved to be a significant opportunity at the time to buy a well entrenched technology player with annuity characteristics, and Salesforce today has many of the same attributes. |
