"Portfolio down 28% as AI fears pressure internet stocks while semiconductors soar. Manager sees speculative AI infrastructure bubble, prefers application layer opportunities."
Hayden Capital's portfolio declined 28.3% in Q1 2026 versus the S&P 500's 4.3% decline, as internet and fintech holdings were pressured by AI disruption concerns and Iran War-driven economic slowdown. While capital rotated aggressively into AI infrastructure with semiconductors up 76% YTD, the manager believes this represents speculative behavior and that true AI value will accrue to application companies. The fund sees attractive opportunities in quality internet platforms now trading at 10-12x forward P/E ratios despite 20-50% growth rates. Key holdings include Sea Ltd, where the Shopee VIP program mirrors Amazon Prime's early success with 10 million members driving 20% of GMV, and Unity, a dominant gaming engine with 70% mobile market share launching its Vector ad platform. The manager views current tech valuations as the most attractive since 2022, with multiple compression creating entry points for long-term compounders trading below historical norms.
