Digest Analysis
Quick Take
"Vulcan Value Partners achieved positive absolute returns in Q3 2025 and actively rotated capital from fully-valued names like CBRE into highly-discounted compounders like Fiserv to secure higher margins of safety."
Executive Summary
Vulcan Value Partners finished Q3 2025 with positive absolute performance across all strategies, though relative returns lagged. During the quarter, the manager took advantage of market volatility to reallocate capital, purchasing a new position in Fiserv and exiting CBRE Group, Sealed Air Corp, and Jones Lang LaSalle Inc. in various portfolios to optimize price-to-value ratios. Key holdings like Medpace and Alphabet were material contributors, while CarMax and Salesforce detracted. The firm remains fully invested with robust margins of safety, observing that their focus portfolios trade at very attractive valuations relative to intrinsic worth.
