"JB Global Capital's concentrated portfolio declined 2.3% in Q1 2026, outperforming markets amid geopolitical volatility. Alibaba showed mixed signals with strong cloud growth offset by costly e-commerce price wars."
JB Global Capital declined 2.3% in Q1 2026, outperforming the S&P 500's 4.3% decline despite concentrated positioning. The quarter was dominated by regulatory uncertainty around tariff policy affecting China-exposed positions and Middle East military conflict driving oil volatility. Alibaba, the fund's largest position at 50%, showed conflicting signals with strong 36% cloud growth but costly quick commerce price wars causing 43% EBITA decline in e-commerce. Management raised red flags around communication quality and negative free cash flow. The fund initiated positions in PayPal at $39.84, attracted by 15% free cash flow yield and margin expansion despite revenue headwinds, and Flowers Foods at $8.50, seeing 73% upside in the bread manufacturer through sum-of-parts analysis. Chinese regulatory intervention to end food delivery price wars provides a positive catalyst. The manager maintains patience and analytical discipline, focusing on resilient businesses with competitive moats while preparing for continued volatility given geopolitical instability and concentrated positioning.
