"Argosy is navigating a chaotic, AI-disrupted market by adding to IT service provider Endava (DAVA) and buying Floor & Decor (FND) on weakness, while selling Novo Nordisk (NVO) due to competitive disadvantages."
Executive Summary
In the 4Q25 letter, manager Michael Loeb details the market's high sensitivity to AI developments, which has caused widespread declines in software and services stocks. Loeb argues that while AI headwinds are real (e.g., seat-based pricing pressures), the market has been too indiscriminate, presenting buying opportunities. Portfolio actions include selling Novo Nordisk (NVO) due to Eli Lilly's competitive superiority, adding to the position in Endava (DAVA), and initiating a new position in Floor & Decor (FND). Loeb believes FND's long-term margin potential and store growth strategy will provide strong double-digit returns as the housing macro environment normalizes.
