"Open Square Capital leverages a contrarian barbell strategy, warning of an unsustainable AI bubble while actively backing deeply discounted, cash-generating turnarounds in OXY and Peloton."
Open Square Capital's Q4 2025 investor letter addresses a stark disconnect between high-flying AI stocks and fundamentally sound but unloved companies. The fund outlines its bearish view on the current AI wave, describing it as a trap with unsustainable valuations reminiscent of the 2000 dot-com bubble. In contrast, the fund highlights positive prospects for its core holdings: Occidental Petroleum (OXY), which remains a highly resilient, cash-generative target ripe for M&A or buybacks despite the OPEC+ price war, and Peloton (PTON), which is transitioning successfully into a wellness 'health span' platform and preparing to refinance its debt in May 2026 to generate significant interest savings. The manager remains committed to a barbell strategy, maintaining short positions on hyper-valued tech and long positions on contrarian, out-of-favor value assets.
