"ValueWorks capitalizes on recent short-term market whipsaws to buy deeply discounted long-term opportunities like Instacart, preparing for a highly volatile but powerful multi-year advance to a 25-year market high."
Executive Summary
In the Q2 2025 investor letter, ValueWorks' Managing Partner Charles Lemonides highlights that despite seemingly calm trailing data, the stock market has actually experienced a volatile, 'herky-jerky' period marked by sharp emotional swings. ValueWorks is actively utilizing this volatility to deploy capital into heavily discounted names, as illustrated by their recent addition of Instacart (CART). The firm remains committed to its long-term value discipline, preparing its portfolio for a projected multi-year exuberant market advance toward a 25-year high.
