"Palm Harbour Capital's concentrated European value strategy delivered -0.56% in Q1 2026 despite strong individual contributors including South Korean battery maker Vitzrocell (+95.5%) and Norwegian oil producer Vår Energi. The portfolio trades at attractive 6.3x P/E with significant upside potential."
Palm Harbour Capital lost 0.56% in Q1 2026 but remains extremely optimistic about portfolio prospects. The fund focuses on undervalued companies across Europe and globally, maintaining a concentrated approach with over 110% estimated upside to NAV. Top contributor Vitzrocell, a South Korean lithium battery manufacturer, gained 95.5% as military and oil & gas applications drove strong growth. Norwegian oil producer Vår Energi contributed 117 basis points, benefiting from record production and strong free cash flow generation with oil above $100/boe. The manager introduced a detailed analysis of new holding Cirsa Enterprises, a Spanish gaming company with operations across multiple jurisdictions. Key detractors included Ibstock, affected by subdued UK housing markets, and Vivendi, pressured by AI concerns around Universal Music Group. The portfolio trades at 6.3x P/E with 18% FCF yield and 28% return on tangible capital. Management maintains long-term value discipline, taking advantage of volatility while focusing on micro-economics of individual businesses rather than macro noise.
