"Buckley Capital delivered a strong 21.4% net return in 2025 by focusing on highly asymmetric, transition-stage small- and mid-cap stocks trading at substantial discounts to their intrinsic values."
Buckley Capital returned 21.4% net in 2025, beating the iShares Russell 2000 Value ETF (12.4%) and the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (12.7%). Zack Buckley highlights significant valuation dispersion in small- and mid-cap stocks. Key high-conviction ideas discussed include Basic-Fit (asymmetric growth setup), Willis Lease Finance (trading at 2/3 of liquidation value), Priority Tech Holdings (opposing low-ball private offer), Light & Wonder (re-entered during dual-listing drop), IWG (transitioning to high-margin managed/franchised model), Dave Inc (profitable neobank growing into BNPL), and Liquidia (fully hedged biotech awaiting a critical litigation catalyst).
