During the third quarter of 2026, O'Keefe Stevens Advisory navigated an exceptionally narrow market characterized by severe dispersion, rising benchmark interest rates, and liquidation pressures across technology and artificial intelligence infrastructure. The manager did not report a single composite net fund return for the period, but disclosed that cash was among its five largest positions alongside NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Corning, and AerCap. Portfolio activity remained highly selective and disciplined: the fund initiated a new long position in software spin-off Octave Intelligence, completely exited regional lender M&T Bank after reaching fair value, and repurchased call options previously written against its long Corning position. The firm's macro framework highlights growing fragility within the artificial intelligence ecosystem, driven by surging corporate debt issuance and deteriorating free cash flow among leading hyperscalers. With the 10-year Treasury yield closing at a multi-decade high of 5.29% and market breadth deteriorating beneath mega-cap index concentration, the manager emphasizes that the capital expenditure boom mirrors prior debt-financed infrastructure cycles. The team questions whether institutional credit and equity markets can comfortably absorb impending supply, warning that an air pocket could emerge as enterprise adoption lags massive capital deployments. Bottom-up portfolio maneuvers capitalized on forced selling and structural mispricings. Octave Intelligence was acquired following its spin-off from Hexagon AB, benefiting from indiscriminate shareholder divestment despite mission-critical workflows, resilient enterprise pricing power, and an expanding software-as-a-service transition. In contrast, M&T Bank was liquidated at 2.1x tangible book as risk-reward deteriorated, while long holdings in Corning and Perrigo were preserved based on long-term cash flow compounding and asymmetrical risk-reward profiles.
The investment strategy focuses on owning durable businesses at reasonable valuations, maintaining cash when markets become stretched, exiting holdings that achieve fair value, and strictly sizing positions to prevent individual drawdowns from impairing capital.
The manager remains vigilant regarding an impending air pocket in technology infrastructure demand as massive debt-funded capex collides with enterprise implementation timelines. The firm intends to preserve optionality and deploy capital selectively when price-insensitive selling creates wide discounts to intrinsic value.
