"O'Keefe Stevens Advisory has positioned Cash as its largest holding due to high market valuations and index concentration. The firm remains highly bullish on Sphere (SPHR) and a looming lumber price inflection, while cautioning that AI will disrupt enterprise software models and act as a net alpha-dilutive tool."
In their Q4 2025 letter, O'Keefe Stevens Advisory outlines a cautious but highly disciplined stance on the markets and technology. Despite strong headline index gains in 2025, they point to high index concentration and significant market dislocation under the surface, particularly within software firms exposed to seat-based pricing risks from AI. They view 2026 as a pivotal year for corporate AI implementation and restructuring. Internally, while leveraging AI to expand research efficiency, they caution that AI is a net alpha-dilutive force that commoditizes data analysis and warns of the 'illusion of competence' in investing. Key Q4 portfolio moves included selling out of their highly successful 12-year common stock position in Fannie Mae (FNMA) while keeping preferred shares, trimming Sphere (SPHR) despite strong long-term conviction, and buying Topgolf Callaway (MODG) on weakness following its 60% Topgolf stake sale. Reflecting a cautious outlook on valuations, cash is currently the fund's largest top five holding.
