"Oldfield Partners sees AI bubble parallels to dotcom era with extreme valuations while maintaining disciplined value approach. Portfolio at 11x earnings discount as 25% of universe trades below January levels."

Executive Summary

Oldfield Partners maintains a disciplined value approach amid an AI-dominated market showing bubble characteristics. With the Shiller PE at 40x matching 1999 levels and 35% of the S&P 500 trading over 10x revenue, the firm sees concerning parallels to the dotcom era. Companies like Palantir at 100x revenue and CoreWeave spending $20bn capex on $5bn revenue signal potential capital misallocation. The portfolio trades at only 11x forward earnings, a discount to historical averages, while 25% of their investable universe trades below January levels despite index strength. Key contributors included Samsung benefiting from AI-driven memory shortages and Alibaba's accelerating cloud growth to 26%. Detractors included easyJet facing airline capacity pressures and Heineken dealing with volume weakness. The firm reduced Samsung exposure while adding to Sanofi and CK Hutchinson, the latter trading at compelling 8x earnings and 0.4x book value. They believe significant opportunities remain for contrarian stock pickers as markets chase AI themes, leaving quality companies overlooked.
