Quick Take

"Nightview maintains Tesla conviction while diversifying into undervalued technology leaders like Google. Manager sees current market discounts as opportunity with companies trading at significant discounts to intrinsic value."

Executive Summary

Nightview Capital maintains high conviction in Tesla despite recent volatility, viewing it as a historical opportunity with industry-leading margins and manufacturing advantages over legacy automakers who lose money on each EV sold. The fund is diversifying from its concentrated Tesla position by adding new holdings including Google, which they believe is undervalued given its cloud business potential and YouTube's $30 billion revenue run-rate. The manager sees AI concerns around Google's search business as overblown, viewing the advertising platform as tremendously resilient. They believe current market discounts reflect uncertainty around inflation and Fed policy, but expect asset repricing higher as these risks diminish. The portfolio construction strategy involves moving to less concentration while maintaining Tesla conviction, deploying capital into companies trading at 50 cents on the dollar. Key risks include banking system stress and persistent inflation, while catalysts include approaching end of Fed tightening cycle and continued technological innovation. The manager remains optimistic about multi-year compounded growth opportunities as post-Covid disruptions conclude.
