"International value strategy underperformed in Q1 2026 despite strong semiconductor and mining contributions. Manager actively repositioned portfolio with six new initiations, focusing on companies trading at significant discounts to intrinsic value."
Harris Associates International Strategy returned -6.69% net in Q1 2026, underperforming the MSCI World ex USA Index return of -0.94%. The portfolio benefited from positions in Glencore, which rose on copper production strength and merger speculation, CNH Industrial on solid agricultural machinery results, and Samsung Electronics on memory super cycle dynamics driven by AI demand. Detractors included Dassault Systèmes on software sector concerns, LVMH despite solid luxury goods fundamentals, and adidas on disappointing outlook. The manager initiated six new positions including Compass Group, Coupang, Haleon, SAP, London Stock Exchange Group, and Unicharm, while eliminating eight positions. The strategy focuses on companies trading at meaningful discounts to intrinsic value, with particular emphasis on businesses with strong competitive positions and long-term growth prospects. The manager believes markets are increasingly driven by short-term noise rather than underlying business fundamentals, creating opportunities for patient, disciplined investors focused on long-term value creation.
