Quick Take
"City Different generated exceptional outperformance in Q3 2025 led by Tidewater and nuclear energy holdings, while warning that current AI valuations have reached highly speculative, frothy territory."
Executive Summary
In Q3 2025, City Different Investments' Focused Global Equity returned 16.32% and Global Equity returned 13.25%, significantly outperforming the MSCI ACWI benchmark of 7.62%. Standout performance came from shipping operator Tidewater, which initiated a major $500M share buyback and debt refinancing, alongside energy leaders Cameco and Talen Energy, which benefited from strong nuclear sector tailwinds. In contrast, Latin American tech giant MercadoLibre detracted slightly due to competitive pricing pressures in Brazil and macro headwinds in Argentina. The firm executed a successful exit from Ryanair and reallocated capital into Tidewater. Looking ahead, the managers express concern over frothy valuations in the AI sector and highlight persistent macro risks, advocating for bottom-up fundamental stock picking.
