"DKAM is aggressively capitalizing on an indiscriminate small-cap market selloff, adding heavily to high-performing core holdings which they believe are poised for a massive 2022-style post-correction rebound."
Executive Summary
In this December 2025 letter, Donville Kent Asset Management (DKAM) draws a parallel between the current market environment and the 2022 market bottom. They argue that high-performing small-to-mid-cap compounders are currently being sold off indiscriminately despite showing record revenue and earnings growth. Highlighting several core holdings (such as VitalHub, Propel, MDA, Kraken, Zedcor, and Cipher), the managers outline how temporary macro pressures and sector-level rotations (e.g., flows into precious metals in Canada and unprofitable AI stocks in the US) have depressed valuations. To exploit this dislocation, the fund has aggressively added back to core positions like GoEasy and Propel. DKAM projects strong growth for its portfolio companies heading into 2026, estimating 40% revenue growth and 56% earnings growth for the DKCI Fund at a cheap cash P/E of 12.1x.
