"Right Tail Capital highlights its highly successful O'Reilly Auto Parts investment to illustrate why long-term compounders with strong cultures, physical distribution moats, and high reinvestment rates ultimately prove cheaper than they initially appear."
Executive Summary
In this Q3 2025 letter, Jeremy Kokemor of Right Tail Capital reflects on the firm's highly successful investment in O'Reilly Auto Parts (ORLY). He details how his conviction in ORLY grew from the 2017 industry panic over Amazon to buying with conviction in March 2020. The letter outlines key investment lessons: near-term valuation metrics don't capture reinvestment capacity; culture compounds; speed and expertise create robust e-commerce moats; and long-term study converts skepticism to conviction. These compounding principles are actively applied across the portfolio, including to long-term holding Constellation Software.
