| 2025 Q4 | Feb 3, 2026 | MSA Capital | 0.0% | 0.0% | ABF.L, DCC.L, FERG.L, FPE3.DE, MWG.L, TCX, UTDI.DE, VWPL.L, WINE.L | AI, Buybacks, Conglomerates, Europe, underperformance, value | Multiple portfolio companies executed significant share repurchase programs in 2025, including Virgin Wines repurchasing 10% of shares, DCC buying back 12% through tender offer, Associated British Foods repurchasing 5%, and Naked Wines retiring 7% of share capital. Manager views these buybacks at low valuations as value-creating for shareholders. Manager emphasizes investing in companies trading below intrinsic value, with several holdings described as net-net situations where market cap trades below cash holdings. Focus on companies with reasonable business models, competitive advantages, and rational management available at reasonable prices. Market concerns about artificial intelligence impact on comparison portal business models led to significant price declines across the sector. Manager believes market is overreacting to AI buzzword and underestimates adaptability of successful platform businesses led by experienced entrepreneurs. | TCX US WINE US ABF LN DCC LN CHG GR VINO LN |
