Vela International Fund Bob Sharpe | “Serco (SRP), the UK-based outsourcing company, made the detractors list by undergoing a stealth decline, with no market-moving news stories or poor earnings announcements. We had trimmed the position early in 2026 as its position size was too large based on our expected return forecast. The company had a track record in the last two years of beating expectations and raising guidance, which did not happen with its 2Q26 preview announcement. However, the stock price steadily slid during the quarter, and the best theory relates to some UK regulatory changes and turmoil in the British government. The UK Government published a procurement policy note requiring central government departments to conduct a Public Interest Test before procurement, and departments with large contracts must develop a five-year Insourcing Strategy. The stock price remains below our intrinsic value estimate with a hefty double-digit expected return.” | NEUTRAL | Q2 2026 Jul 22, 2026 | View Pitch |
