Quick Take

"Strong performance across aerospace, insurance, and technology themes. Portfolio positioned for continued estimate revisions with normalized market again rewarding fundamentals after unusual 2023 headwinds."

Executive Summary

Antero Peak Group delivered strong Q1 2024 performance with 15.6% net returns versus 10.6% for the S&P 500, generating 5% alpha through broad-based fundamental stock selection. The team's process focuses on three empirically-supported pillars: inflection points driving earnings acceleration, differentiation leading to estimate revisions, and rising ROIC driving multiple expansion. Contributors spanned aerospace, insurance, technology, and discretionary sectors, with holdings seeing 3.8% average EPS estimate increases versus -0.5% for the S&P 500. The normalized investment backdrop is again rewarding EPS surprises and revisions after an unusual 2023. Key themes include aerospace's secular growth amplified by cyclical inflection, auto insurance benefiting from pricing surge and structural earnings power, and de-globalization creating expanding manufacturing capex opportunities. The portfolio is positioned for estimate revisions higher with 100% of holdings beating estimates, 77% accelerating, and 89% outgrowing the index. The team expects improved stock-picking environment as market breadth broadens.
