| 2025 Q4 | Mar 6, 2026 | Argosy Investors | - | - | DAVA, EPAM, FND, HD, LLY, LOW, NVO | AI, Cyclical, Pharmaceuticals, retail, software, value | AI developments from major companies are causing rapid market changes and stock price volatility. AI is reshaping the investment landscape with massive capital being deployed for infrastructure, while creating uncertainty about whether it will enhance productivity or cause more disruptive economic impacts. The manager remains open-minded about AI's various potential development paths. Software companies are experiencing significant declines as the market reassesses AI impacts. Concerns include reduced seat-based revenue from efficiency gains, lower pricing power from AI-first competitors, and decreased new customer bookings. However, some software solutions may be less easily replaced by AI, particularly those requiring high security and user interconnectedness. The manager sold Novo Nordisk after brief ownership due to competitive disadvantages versus Eli Lilly. While NVO was attractive from a valuation perspective and first to market with oral GLP-1, LLY has a superior product and NVO's competitive position may weaken when LLY brings similar options to market. Floor & Decor represents an attractive long-term opportunity following the Home Depot disruption model in flooring retail. The company offers superior inventory selection and lower prices, taking market share consistently. Current margins are depressed but should recover as store base builds out and same-store sales normalize from post-COVID and interest rate headwinds. | View | |

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 | |

Semiconductor giants SK Hynix and TSMC posted record-high profits driven by accelerating AI adoption. However, concerns about an AI bubble created drag on global tech stocks in early December. The Fed cut interest rates at October and December meetings, bringing total reductions to three in 2025 and lowering the target range to 3.50%-3.75%. The Bank of Japan raised its key rate to a 30-year high at 0.75%. The ECB held rates steady despite elevated eurozone inflation remaining above the 2% target. U.S. inflation slowed to 2.7% in November from 3% in September. Eurozone inflation rose to 2.2% in November, remaining above the ECB's 2% target for three consecutive months. Japan's core inflation rose 3.0% in November, well above the central bank's 2% target. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Feb 3, 2026 | Robotti Value Investors | 0.0% | 0.0% | BLDR, HD, TDW | Consolidation, Cyclical, energy, gold, Homebuilders, Offshore, Recovery, value | Manager focuses on cyclical businesses emerging from prolonged downturns where consolidation has removed excess capacity and improved capital discipline. Years of underinvestment have shifted many businesses from persistent excess supply to recurring scarcity, creating structural improvements in earnings durability. Following years of underinvestment and restructuring, offshore energy services have experienced sharp supply-demand tightening. Companies like Tidewater emerged from restructuring with improved balance sheets and are positioned to benefit from consolidated fleets and restored pricing power. Building products distribution tied to homebuilders provides historical template for cyclical recovery. Following the 2009 housing collapse, capacity was rationalized and balance sheets repaired, with companies like Builders FirstSource emerging as ultimate winners despite multiple significant drawdowns. Continued rise in gold prices driven by sovereigns and institutions seeking safe allocation as the US increasingly uses dollar position as economic leverage tool. Growing demand for non-fiat monetary assets amid persistent inflation concerns and fiscal discipline challenges globally. Manager focuses on fundamental security analysis in abandoned corners of the market where scarcity of capital has driven consolidation and balance sheet repair. Gap between narrative and reality creates opportunities as entire industries are labeled permanently broken despite improving fundamentals. | TDW |

Over 40% of the S&P 500 trades at NTM P/E over 30x, similar to 2000 bubble conditions. The most expensive 15 megacap stocks trade at a 72% premium to the rest of the market and account for almost 40% of total market cap. | View | |

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 |

The managers position themselves as contrarians, being greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy. They believe deeply out of favor parts of the index like healthcare, energy and homebuilders could receive money coming out of growth stocks. Higher rates have continued to weigh on the homebuilder space as well as an increase in inventory. The fund regards homebuilders' capacity to maintain construction activity throughout the cycle as a key competitive strength, with less resilient competitors likely to exit the market during prolonged cyclical downturns. | View | |

The AI super-cycle continues to provide powerful support, yet it carries risks. Investor willingness to underwrite aggressive AI spending has cooled somewhat, and the debate over whether we are in an AI bubble has increased. Lam Research benefitted from improving sentiment regarding the importance of its products within the semiconductor capital spending market. As a leading provider of equipment tied to memory requirements for AI, Lam Research could have a long and healthy path to growth. Analog Devices pushed toward new all-time highs after solid earnings gave investors confidence that the analog cycle is now beyond its bottom. Earnings growth was the clear engine of the market's advance in 2025. Forward S&P 500 earnings are projected to rise 16% in 2026 over 2025. Bloomberg projects S&P 500 EPS growth of 16% in 2026, up from 15% in 2025 with 7 of 11 sectors expected to deliver double-digit gains. Goldman Sachs Group's shares contributed to fourth-quarter performance due to positive financial results, coupled with increased optimism regarding capital markets activity heading into 2026. Goldman Sachs maintains one of the strongest global merger and acquisition advisory and trading, with increased activity in M&A, initial public offerings, and debt issuance activity directly boosting its financial performance. | View | |

They are likely in the early stages of a decade-long AI investment cycle, seeking upside capture while managing risks of rapid technological change, rising competition and growing financial leverage. The gap will widen between AI winners versus AI losers, favoring active portfolio management. The fund maintains exposure to semiconductor companies benefiting from AI-driven demand. Applied Materials and KLA gained from sustained AI-driven semiconductor demand with improving customer outlooks. The portfolio includes semiconductor manufacturing equipment suppliers and chip designers positioned for the AI infrastructure build-out. The fund invests in hyperscalers and cloud infrastructure companies. Alphabet showed improving growth in its cloud segment and renewed confidence in its vertically integrated AI strategy. The portfolio includes companies providing cloud services and infrastructure supporting the AI transformation. The fund holds pharmaceutical companies like Eli Lilly, which rebounded sharply as concerns around pricing, penetration and competitive dynamics for GLP-1 weight-loss drugs eased following stronger-than-expected demand data. The portfolio favors companies that continue to innovate to improve patient outcomes. The fund invests in life science tools companies such as Danaher and ThermoFisher that provide valuable equipment and services for clinical research. These companies benefited from improving sentiment around life sciences end markets as pharmaceutical customers signaled higher-than-expected spending on research and development. | View | |

The manager believes AI has potential to impact every sector over time, driving productivity gains and business model innovation across a much broader range of industries than currently appreciated by investors. Value stocks outperformed growth stocks in Q4 as high market valuations for growth stocks create attractive risk/reward potential in value stocks. The manager expects the current market environment to continue favoring value stocks given elevated growth stock valuations and relatively benign economic backdrop. Strong growth in distribution and power systems segments driven by data center demand, with companies like Cummins benefiting from robust sales results. Data center demand is supporting performance across multiple portfolio holdings. | WM HD WDC |

McKinsey projects nearly $7 trillion in capital expenditures will be needed worldwide by 2030 to build up AI infrastructure. The Fund believes we are entering a transition period for AI, moving into a higher risk phase with flood of capital and unusual financing structures. The consistency of corporate earnings is a major reason for continued stock market strength. The S&P 500 is projected to deliver 12% earnings growth in 2025, while small cap companies are showing their first signs of earnings growth recovery after three years of contraction, posting 13% growth in 2025. The Federal Reserve began cutting rates in the fourth quarter with cooling inflation giving policymakers confidence. Lower interest rates are expected to continue into 2026, which typically takes around a year to feel effects through the economy and would likely support small business hiring and consumer confidence. | View | |

The manager maintains a positive view on dividend-paying stocks as an out-of-favor segment largely devoid of speculative activity. The market remained supported by ongoing enthusiasm about the artificial intelligence theme, though there was a brief stretch of concern in November about a possible AI bubble. The manager sees potential for improved relative performance if excitement surrounding AI begins to cool. The quarter was characterized by broadening market leadership away from mega-cap technology companies, contributing to relative strength in the value style. The fund's investment universe offers fundamentally sound companies trading with attractive yields and reasonable valuations. A new position in mandatory convertible securities of lithium producer Albermarle made a sizable contribution as lithium prices rose due to reduced supply from China, and market participants became more optimistic about the metal's potential use in energy storage applications. | View | |
