Alphabet's AI chatbot Gemini exceeded expectations and was on par with leading AI models, contributing significantly to performance. The managers are comfortable missing out on highly speculative AI investments while focusing on long-term value. Banks had a strong year due to increased lending, reduced regulation, and moderately high interest rates. American Express cardholders continue spending with high payment rates, while the Platinum Card remains desirable despite competition. Credit and banking environment remained strong throughout the period. Off-price retailers TJX and Ross returned to form after struggling during post-Covid inflation, with strong stock performance. AutoZone faced challenges navigating tariff impacts on earnings, though the consolidated auto parts retail market historically passes through price increases. Consumer spending patterns showed resilience in certain segments. Housing investments had a weak year as high interest rates and hopes for lower rates left potential buyers on the sidelines. Home builders initially held up well when rates first rose in 2022, but continued high rates eventually impacted demand. The managers expect pent-up housing demand to eventually drive performance once the market unfreezes. | RVTY GOOG UNH |
