| 2025 Q4 | Jan 27, 2026 | Polen Capital – International Growth | -2.5% | -0.5% | 0700.HK, 7974.T, 8035.T, ASML, BABA, LONN.SW, MELI, MNDY, SAP, SHL.DE, SHOP, TEP.PA | AI, E-Commerce, gaming, growth, international, Quality, semiconductors, underperformance | AI adoption is transforming the global economy and creating investment opportunities. Advanced chips sit at the epicenter of everything AI related, with ASML's equipment essential to printing advanced logic and volatile memory chips. Markets are attempting to price in these technological shifts, though the transition remains volatile. Semiconductor capital equipment companies continue to benefit from investor optimism around AI. Tokyo Electron benefits from rising demand for more chip volume and more complex chips, driving investment into chip fabrication plants. The company is expected to grow revenues at high single-digit rate while increasing operating margins from 25% to 35% in the medium term. E-commerce platforms face mixed dynamics with growth opportunities offset by competitive pressures. MercadoLibre continues to benefit from low e-commerce penetration in Latin America and maintains 35%+ topline growth in its 26th year. However, Alibaba's profitability in core e-commerce has been pressured by heavy investments to compete in food and grocery delivery. Nintendo's Switch 2 launch marks the beginning of a significant upgrade cycle with potential for elevated growth in both hardware and software over the coming five years. The overall Switch installed base could reach 250 million customers, nearly doubling the customer base capable of downloading gaming titles. The company is expected to grow earnings at 30% annualized for the next few years. The investment approach focuses on businesses with durable competitive advantages, strong returns on capital, and resilient earnings. Quality companies are expected to ultimately outperform the broader market despite current market preference for cyclically sensitive businesses. This quality-focused strategy is especially important when investors embrace risk and cyclicality. | View |
