Quick Take

"TMR Partners focuses on uncorrelated, company-specific returns through smaller investments. The fund's primary thesis centers on Celestica as an AI infrastructure beneficiary, serving top hyperscalers in a massive capex boom."

Executive Summary

TMR Partners delivered strong absolute returns in Q3 2024 despite focusing on smaller investments that have not participated in the megacap tech-driven bull market. The fund's returns remain uncorrelated to the S&P 500, instead depending on company-specific outcomes. The primary focus is on Celestica, viewed as a compelling AI play trading at 13x forward P/E. Celestica has transformed into a trusted provider to the top 5 global hyperscalers, with its Connectivity & Cloud Solutions segment representing 68% of total revenues. The manager believes AI investments represent a strategic arms race where tech giants are willing to overspend to secure long-term dominance. Combined capex of Microsoft, Alphabet, and Meta grew 60% year-over-year, creating an incremental $91B in run-rate AI data center spending. Celestica's hyperscaler revenue has grown at 48% CAGR over six years, with AI/ML compute demand experiencing 3x growth in 2023. The fund expects margins to expand as the business becomes higher quality with more revenue visibility, targeting 70% upside potential.
