Airlie Small Companies Fund Will Granger | “This IT distributor posted strong earnings growth, driven by margin expansion on supply-constrained inventory. The manager values the business's oligopolistic market position, massive scale advantages, and ability to continually take market share from competitors, which offsets potential near-term earnings cyclicality.” | BULL | Q2 2026 Jul 21, 2026 | View Pitch |
Ganes Focused Value Fund Ganes Capital Management Limited | “Dicker Data held its Annual General Meeting at the end of May and reported that revenues were up 13% and profits up 45% for the first four months of the year compared to last year. It also advised that it anticipated trading conditions to remain strong in the short term because of the end of the financial year spending, and demand for data centre equipment and AI spending will drive sales growth beyond that. The heady days of double-digit growth in sales and profits of the last decade have plateaued, and for the last few years sales and profits have been relatively static. Part of this is cyclical as spending was brought forward by Covid demand, and part because Dicker Data has such a large market share now it is getting more difficult to move the needle when winning new clients. But despite the stagnation this is still a good business. Return on equity remains above 30%, cash flow is strong, and profit margins have recently started to climb again. The downside, however, has been the growth in working capital leading to higher debt recent years. Working capital has risen from $60 million to over $300 million during the past four years. And because the company pays out all its profits as dividends this has meant the company has been forced to take on debt, $300 million of it as of December. Under the new Chairperson, and the company's largest shareholder, Fiona Brown, the company has decided to implement a more conservative 80% payout ratio of profits that hopefully should see debt levels reduce. After a few quiet years the company may be enjoying some tailwinds again.” | NEUTRAL | Q2 2026 Jul 17, 2026 | View Pitch |
