"Wedgewood experienced severe relative underperformance in 2025 due to a speculative, narrow AI-driven market, but they have repositioned the portfolio into attractive quality assets like Amazon and Chubb, trading at a rare valuation discount relative to growth indices."
Executive Summary
In their Q4 2025 client letter, Wedgewood Partners terms 2025 an 'Annus Horribilis' due to severe relative underperformance caused by extreme market concentration in speculative, high-multiple AI tech stocks. To address this, they made significant portfolio adjustments: initiating new positions in Amazon (noting depressed EV/EBITDA multiples and AWS acceleration) and Chubb (citing outstanding specialty underwriting performance), exiting underperforming names like UnitedHealth and Pool Corp, and reducing weights in PayPal, Apple, and Alphabet. Despite a difficult relative performance period, they emphasize that their portfolio's fundamentals are superior to the S&P 500 and now trade at a rare valuation parity with the index, positioning them well for a reversal in 2026.
