| 2025 Q4 | Jan 9, 2026 | The Bristlemoon Global Fund | -6.2% | 0.0% | ADBE, APP, ASML, EYE, FICO, FND, GOOGL, HD, LOW, NKE, PRTG, SBUX, SNPS, UBER | AI, growth, Housing, Restaurants, semiconductors, software, technology, value | The fund has benefited from AI winners like AppLovin, which applies machine learning to improve ad algorithms with 72% revenue growth and 89% EBITDA growth. The manager views AI as creating opportunities through the Jevons paradox, where lower content creation costs increase demand for editing tools like Adobe. PAR Technology is positioned as an AI beneficiary through its unified platform strategy enabling Coach AI functionality. ASML is highlighted as a monopoly in the semiconductor industry during an AI boom. The manager outlined bear case arguments and explained why they were misguided, with the stock appreciating from €600 to over €900 per share in a quarter as other investors agreed with their thesis. The fund holds multiple software positions including PAR Technology, Adobe, and others. PAR is viewed as benefiting from restaurant technology consolidation, with potential McDonald's partnership validation. Adobe is seen as an AI beneficiary rather than victim, trading at 15x earnings despite double-digit revenue growth. PAR Technology represents a play on restaurant technology consolidation, with potential tier-1 client wins including McDonald's. The manager believes even large tech-forward restaurants are realizing POS software is too complex to maintain internally, favoring best-of-breed vendors like PAR with unified platform strategies. Floor & Decor represents a category killer business model in hard surface flooring with 75,000 square foot warehouse stores carrying 2,350+ SKUs versus 630-680 at competitors. The company has grown comparable store sales at 11% annually over 14 years, with strong unit economics and store rollout potential to 500 locations. The manager extensively analyzes mortgage rate dynamics affecting Floor & Decor's housing-dependent business. They expect mortgage spread normalization from current 300+ basis points back toward historical 168 basis point average, potentially reducing rates to 5.5-6.0% range and unlocking housing transaction velocity. | FND 215A JP BCG LN ADBE PAR ASML NA |
