GreensKeeper's Value Fund declined 8.1% in Q1 2026 as Middle East conflict triggered broad market selloffs. Rather than remaining passive, the manager used weakness to increase stakes in core holdings and initiate a new position in Amadeus IT Group. Berkshire Hathaway, their largest holding, underperformed despite fundamental strength, with management resuming buybacks and new CEO Greg Abel expected to drive operational efficiency. Top performers included TVA Group (+103.8%) following debt elimination, defense holdings Lockheed Martin (+25%) and General Dynamics (+2%) benefiting from sustained defense spending needs, and Hershey (+14.2%) as cocoa cost pressures eased. Primary detractor ICON (-39.3%) fell on revenue recognition investigation, which management views as temporary and used as buying opportunity. The manager maintains conviction in their concentrated portfolio of 15-20 high-quality companies, emphasizing patience and discipline during market volatility. They see current environment offering quality companies but limited bargains, continuing to build watchlists while waiting for attractive entry points.
GreensKeeper maintains a disciplined value investing approach, focusing on high-quality companies trading at attractive valuations with strong competitive positions and durable cash flows, while remaining patient through periods of market volatility and geopolitical uncertainty.
The manager expects Berkshire Hathaway to grow operating earnings at a high-single-digit clip for decades and believes valuations will eventually reconnect with reality. They remain constructive on the long-term growth of global travel and believe these tailwinds will drive significant value for Amadeus shareholders. The tone suggests patience and confidence in their long-term value investing approach.

TravelAmadeus IT Group holds a dominant duopoly position in global distribution systems connecting airline inventory to travel agencies worldwide.

| TICKER | COMMENTARY |
|---|---|
| BRK-A | We view Berkshire as fundamentally undervalued. Management appears to share our conviction, having resumed share buybacks last month. With its $370 billion cash pile, we suspect that it will continue to retire shares. The lower the price, the more aggressively they will act and capture value for long-term shareholders. Fellow Canadian Greg Abel is now in charge. No successor to Buffett can ever hope to replicate his stock-picking genius. But we believe Greg brings a distinct set of strengths to the CEO role. Greg is hands-on, detail-oriented, and—crucially—willing to engage in the operational friction necessary to drive efficiency. Unlike the hands-off approach of the past, we believe Abel will hold subsidiary management teams to a higher standard of accountability, driving margin expansion across Berkshire's diverse operations. Berkshire Hathaway is positioned to grow operating earnings at a high-single-digit clip for decades. It possesses a fortress balance sheet and a collection of businesses largely insulated from Al-driven disruption. Yet, Mr. Market currently remains indifferent, favouring speculative Al narratives over proven cash flow. Berkshire may not be sexy, but it is a rock-solid compounder. We expect the tide to turn as valuations eventually reconnect with reality. When it does, our discipline and patience will be rewarded. |
| TVA.TO | Our top performer in the first quarter was TVA Group (TVA.B) +103.8%. The stock benefited from a significant one-time retroactive revenue adjustment related to its specialty channels, stemming from the resolution of a longstanding carriage dispute. This allowed the company to eliminate all its outstanding debt. Management continues to execute on its restructuring plan, exiting unprofitable channels and rightsizing the cost structure. Despite the stock's appreciation this quarter, we believe TVA remains materially underpriced; its audience share in Quebec remains dominant (above 40%), and several assets—including excess property—remain undervalued on the balance sheet. We continue to believe in the merits of the controlling shareholder, Quebecor Inc. (QBR.B), taking the company private. |
| HSY | The Hershey Company (HSY) performed well during the quarter, gaining +14.2% as cocoa costs finally retreated, reversing the extreme inflationary pressures of the past two years. As this lower-cost inventory works its way through the balance sheet, we expect input-cost pressures to ease significantly. Crucially, consumer demand has proven resilient; volumes remain above management's original expectations despite the price hikes taken to defend margins. This reinforces our original thesis: Hershey's brand equity is robust enough to withstand significant macro shocks without compromising its long-term competitive position. Furthermore, the company's expansion into salty snacks continues to diversify the earnings stream and support consistent profit growth. |
| LMT | Rounding out our top performers in the first quarter were our defense holdings: Lockheed Martin (LMT) +25% and General Dynamics (GD) +2%. Ongoing global conflicts and the fraying of the NATO alliance continue to underscore the critical need for sustained investment in national defense. Beyond their defense segments, both companies reached a historic milestone this quarter with the successful Artemis II mission—the first crewed flight around the moon since 1972. Lockheed Martin was responsible for the Orion crew module and the spacecraft's complex flight software, while General Dynamics provided the essential emergency radios and transponders that linked the astronauts to mission control. With the crew now safely home, we can officially declare: mission accomplished. |
| GD | Rounding out our top performers in the first quarter were our defense holdings: Lockheed Martin (LMT) +25% and General Dynamics (GD) +2%. Ongoing global conflicts and the fraying of the NATO alliance continue to underscore the critical need for sustained investment in national defense. Beyond their defense segments, both companies reached a historic milestone this quarter with the successful Artemis II mission—the first crewed flight around the moon since 1972. Lockheed Martin was responsible for the Orion crew module and the spacecraft's complex flight software, while General Dynamics provided the essential emergency radios and transponders that linked the astronauts to mission control. With the crew now safely home, we can officially declare: mission accomplished. |
| ICLR | ICON Plc (ICLR) -39.3% was our primary detractor this quarter following the February announcement of an internal Audit Committee investigation into revenue recognition practices from 2023 through 2025. While the market's reaction was severe, we believe it was an overreaction. Management anticipates the revenue restatement will be less than 2% for each affected year. While disappointing, we believe this issue was an internal matter and will not have any material long-term impact on ICLR's ability to serve its customers. It is also unlikely to have a material impact on the company's $1 billion of free cash flow. We used the selloff as an opportunity to increase our position, and the stock has already begun to rebound. As the pharmaceutical environment continues to improve, we remain confident that the company will capture its fair share of clinical trial activity. With the stock trading at roughly 10x trailing earnings, we believe that the shares remain materially undervalued. |
| V | Our second-worst performer in the quarter was Visa Inc. (V) -13.8%. Visa's fundamentals remain exceptional, with 2025 global payment volumes rising 8% and driving double-digit growth in both revenue and earnings. However, the stock has been pressured by macro concerns, specifically the risk of a global slowdown and rising oil prices stemming from the conflict in the Middle East. Higher fuel costs typically dampen cross-border travel—one of Visa's highest-margin revenue streams. Despite these near-term headwinds, Visa remains one of the highest-quality businesses we have ever encountered. We remain confident that its long-term earnings power will compound at attractive rates for many, many years. |
| AMADY | We also initiated a new position during the quarter: Amadeus IT Group (AMADY). Headquartered in Madrid, Amadeus holds a dominant duopoly position in each of its two major business segments. The company was originally formed by a consortium of European airlines to create a global distribution system (GDS) that connects airline inventory to travel agency booking systems worldwide. Over decades, Amadeus has strengthened its competitive position and today holds roughly 50% share of all GDS air bookings, with the remainder split between Sabre Corp. (SABR) and privately held Travelport. While airlines have attempted to bypass GDS providers through New Distribution Capabilities (NDC) to save on fees, to date, their efforts have been largely futile. Travel management companies require a centralized, aggregated platform to function efficiently. The sheer complexity of thousands of agencies connecting to hundreds of individual airline APIs creates a powerful network effect. Network effects, once firmly established, are very difficult to disrupt. The other half of Amadeus' business is its Airline IT segment, which provides mission-critical software that manages everything from passenger service systems to boarding and reservations to roughly 200 major airlines worldwide. Amadeus' software holds about 45% market share among large carriers, and contracts often last for a decade. These platforms are deeply embedded in airline operations, creating massive switching costs and multi-year implementation hurdles for any competitor trying to replace the incumbent. This stickiness is reflected in the segment's extraordinary 70%+ EBITDA margins. In our view, the fear that AI will displace this type of critical infrastructure is unfounded; Amadeus remains the backbone of global air travel. While recent spikes in jet fuel prices—driven by the war in the Middle East—will likely pressure Amadeus' near-term revenues, we recognize that this is a cyclical headwind rather than a structural one. Because both major business lines are tied to booking volumes, the market has sold off the shares in anticipation of this temporary lull. The selloff provided us with a rare opportunity to acquire a dominant, growing franchise at an attractive price. We remain constructive on the long-term growth of global travel and believe these tailwinds will drive significant long-term value for Amadeus shareholders. |
