However, an MIT study found 95% of generative AI pilots failing to deliver measurable returns, raising concerns about overinvestment similar to the dot-com era. Supply demand dynamics favored US stocks with $1.1 trillion in total stock buybacks versus only $46 billion in IPOs. Energy leaders like Chevron rewarded shareholders with aggressive stock buybacks alongside strong production and growing dividends. Over 100 countries dramatically increased defense spending in 2025, providing a boost for the aerospace and defense sector. Jet engine production and maintenance soared, benefiting firms like Parker Hannifin, GE, RTX and Berkshire's Precision Castparts. In the fourth quarter, investors shifted toward undervalued, high-quality companies with strong free cash flow yields. Healthcare led with an 11.25% catch-up return as its valuation metrics remain at a significant discount to the broader market. Larger banks enjoyed steepening yield curves and robust capital markets activity, with Bank of New York and Citigroup showing strong fundamentals at cheap valuations. JPMorgan predicts a breakout year for IPOs in 2026 with names like SpaceX, OpenAI and Anthropic potentially entering the market. | View | |

Broadcom, Oracle, and Lam Research benefited from growing data center demand and AI-driven contracts. The fund reduced exposure after strong gains, mindful of potential macro risks from rate policy and tariffs. | View | |
| 2025 Q3 | Oct 15, 2025 | O’Keefe Stevens Advisory, Inc | - | - | CS CN, DFIN, GLW, LAZ, MODG | Artificial Intelligence, Bitcoin, Data centers, semiconductors, Value Investing | The fund highlights AI and crypto-driven market euphoria pushing equities to record highs but cautions against speculative excess. It notes massive AI infrastructure spending approaching $600 billion, often debt-financed, which raises sustainability concerns. The managers prefer capital-light enablers such as semiconductor and fiber component suppliers while maintaining valuation discipline. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 30, 2026 | O’Keefe Stevens Advisory, Inc | 0.0% | 0.0% | FNMA, GLW, HCC, ICLTF, MODG, NVDA, PRGO, SCL, SPHR, WY | AI, Cash, Entertainment, Lumber, Portfolio Management, positioning, technology, value | 2025 marked the year of AI exploration and testing, with 2026 expected to be the year of implementation. AI will unlock efficiency but create uneven impacts across businesses, particularly those with seat-based pricing models. The manager views AI as table stakes that may dilute alpha over time as it democratizes information access. The lumber industry has been in a 3+ year downturn following COVID demand. Canadian softwood exports to the US are near Great Financial Crisis levels, with significant capacity offline. The manager believes they are at or near the beginning of a lumber price rebound as supply has come offline and inventory liquidation is ending. Sphere made significant progress with strong ticket sales for The Wizard of Oz content, selling over 1.6-1.7 million tickets. The economics are evolving as AI-driven tools reduce content production costs from $100m to potentially $10m, improving unit economics for future Spheres and enabling franchise partnerships. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Jan 21, 2026 | The London Company Income Equity | -1.6% | 13.5% | BLK, CMI, CSCO, FAST, GLW, NTDOY | Defensive, dividends, income, large cap, Quality, value | AI investment scrutiny emerged as a headwind during the quarter, with concerns about AI returns affecting market sentiment. However, AI momentum accelerated for companies like Cisco, driven by GenAI-related products and increasing data speed and bandwidth requirements both inside and outside data centers. Data center demand drove strong performance for portfolio holdings, with Cummins benefiting from backup power requirements and Corning seeing strong demand in Optical Communications for GenAI-related products. The market recognizes few global suppliers capable of supporting large-scale data center infrastructure needs. The Income Equity strategy maintains a focus on higher overall dividend yield orientation, emphasizing income generation alongside capital preservation and growth. The portfolio is designed to provide greater yield and downside protection through dividend-paying securities. Quality factors were headwinds during the quarter as Value factors led performance, but the portfolio maintains its tilt toward quality attributes. The manager believes quality characteristics like high returns on invested capital, conservative leverage, and reasonable valuations will provide more resilient performance through shifting market regimes. | BLK NTDOY GLW CSCO CMI |
