Structural challenges exist but temporary drags like Ukraine conflict and restrictive fiscal policy may be easing. | View | |

The region trades at attractive valuations with forward P/E of 13.7x versus 20.5x for US markets. European companies generate nearly 60% of revenues outside the region, reducing dependence on local economic conditions. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Feb 11, 2026 | Latitude Global Fund | 0.0% | 21.0% | AI.PA, ASSA-B.ST, AZO, COR, DEO, DG.PA, DLTR, EIF.PA, GOOGL, ICE, JPM, MCK, RPRX, RYA.L, SHEL, TSCO.L, UNH, V | AI, Buybacks, Europe, growth, healthcare, infrastructure, retail, value | Lower-income Americans continue to feel the squeeze, and local stores like Dollar Tree present unbeatable value and convenience. Their investments in merchandising and distribution are key competitive advantages in a world of tariffs and potential inflation. The company's prospects are bright, especially if we do ever see a rise in unemployment, which tends to benefit discount stores. Healthcare stocks have broadly underperformed the market since the election of President Trump, due to a plethora of regulatory, pricing and tariff risks. However, the distribution model has proven its strong resilience, with companies having meaningfully reduced their dependence on drug pricing. They are in effect a toll road on the US healthcare system and the opposite of economic rent-seeking businesses. Covid, somewhat ironically given the cancellation of so many flights, impacted the industry positively, as around 10% of aircraft were withdrawn from the market due to bankruptcies. Moreover, post-Covid supply chain shocks at Boeing and Airbus mean that the fleet is not going to be replaced any time soon. Ryanair's cost advantage almost doubled from levels in 2019. Google would be best positioned in an AI world, given its vertically integrated model and its pedigree in AI. The AI revenue model is clearly highly uncertain and far from guaranteed, but the likely attributes of winners in this space are data, processing power and distribution. Google dominates all three. Investing in physical assets in a world with an infrastructure deficit, and the potential resurgence of inflation, is very appealing. The requirement for renewed infrastructure investment in Europe is in the early stages, and competition will remain low giving both Vinci and Eiffage a meaningful competitive advantage. Combining low valuations and high cash conversion, our companies will generate around a 7% of their market cap in free cash flow. We expect them to pay an average dividend of 2.6% and are committed to share buybacks of around the same level. This is a 5% annual tailwind to the portfolio's fundamental growth outlook over the coming years. | ICE JPM GOOGL RYAAY RPRX MCK AZO DLTR |
