"Robotti & Company advocates for disciplined, public value investing, highlighting Tidewater and Builders FirstSource as high-conviction ideas positioned to reward patient investors as market 'weighing' mechanisms eventually catch up."
In their Q2 2025 letter, Robotti & Company Advisors argue that public value-investing remains a superior discipline compared to both speculative 'meme-stock' trends and illiquid private equity structures. They note that the market's short-term 'voting machine' is currently overclocked, driven by passive flows and momentum. They heavily critique private equity for using artificial accounting and internal asset transfers to delay a valuation reckoning. In contrast, they champion public equities for their transparency and daily repricing, pointing to top holdings Tidewater (TDW) and Builders FirstSource (BLDR) as prime examples of resilient, highly cash-generative businesses that are being acquired at deep discounts due to market mispricing.
