"Boyar Value Group sees opportunity amid Q1 2026 market volatility, warning against quality bubble while identifying value in overlooked names like Madison Square Garden Sports and Uber. Despite geopolitical oil shocks and AI disruption fears hitting mega-caps, they believe market leadership is broadening toward small caps, favoring disciplined value investors over momentum chasers."
Executive Summary
Boyar Value Group's Q1 2026 letter emphasizes the importance of valuation discipline amid market volatility driven by geopolitical conflict and AI disruption concerns. The quarter saw major indices decline 3-7% while oil surged 77-95% due to Strait of Hormuz disruptions following U.S.-Israel military action against Iran. The managers highlight emerging signs of market leadership broadening beyond mega-caps, with small caps and equal-weighted indices showing relative strength. They warn of a potential quality bubble where investors pay excessive prices for perceived safety in companies like Costco and Walmart, drawing parallels to the Nifty Fifty era. AI concerns dominated technology, with Microsoft declining 23.5% despite strong fundamentals as investors questioned massive infrastructure spending returns. Private credit markets showed stress with borrower bankruptcies and redemption limits. The firm maintains focus on undervalued opportunities like Madison Square Garden Sports and Uber, believing current conditions favor patient value investors willing to look beyond crowded trades. Their disciplined approach targets strong businesses with reasonable valuations and meaningful price-to-value gaps.
