Quick Take
"Orbis International Equity established notable positions in United Integrated Services and Experian, taking advantage of short-sighted market sorting around artificial intelligence. Both businesses offer highly resilient competitive positions, strong balance sheets, and compelling double-digit compounding potential over a multi-year horizon while trading at substantial discounts to their intrinsic economic worth."
Executive Summary
The strategy capitalizes on market mispricings created by an overly narrow focus on perceived artificial intelligence winners and losers. Market participants have broadly sorted companies using an indiscriminate filter, causing fundamentally strong businesses with durable franchises to become undervalued. During the year, the strategy initiated two significant positions on opposite sides of this artificial intelligence divide: United Integrated Services and Experian. United Integrated Services operates as a vital cleanroom engineering partner to semiconductor manufacturers, offering substantial earnings growth tied to chip capital expenditure while trading at an undemanding valuation. Experian, despite being unfairly penalized by disruption fears regarding automated credit underwriting, retains an indispensable contributory data asset and expands operating margins. Both holdings present resilient business models, strong balance sheets, and substantial upside potential over a multi-year horizon, with limited risk of permanent capital loss despite cyclical timing fluctuations and broader geopolitical risks.
