Shopify reported 32% revenue growth with $92 billion GMV, gaining market share and expanding merchant solutions. MercadoLibre continues to dominate Latin American e-commerce with 49% revenue growth, expanding product categories and deepening selection. The company benefits from lower e-commerce penetration rates in Latin America versus other regions. Streaming entertainment continues secular growth from linear television shift.

| 2025 Q4 | Feb 8, 2026 | Auxier Asset Management | 2.0% | 15.2% | BK, BRK-A, BTI, C, CAT, CVX, FI, GE, GLW, GOOGL, HD, LOW, MSFT, MU, NOW, PH, QCOM, RTX, UNH, VLO | AI, Banking, Buybacks, defense, energy, healthcare, technology, value | Technology hyperscalers spent close to $400 billion in 2025 on AI infrastructure with potential to reach $527 billion in 2026. 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 | |
| 2025 Q4 | Feb 23, 2026 | Bailard Technology Strategy | -2.2% | 19.2% | ADBE, AMZN, CRM, DDOG, GOOGL, HUBS, KLAC, LRCX, META, MNDY, MSFT, MU, NOW, NTNX, NVDA, QCOM, SAP, TEAM, TSM, WD | AI, growth, infrastructure, positioning, semiconductors, software, technology | The AI infrastructure cycle has mirrored cloud computing build-out with hyperscalers aggressively financing GPU and data center deployments. The focus is shifting from building computational backbone to realizing value through software and application layers. AI agents are creating concerns about disrupting legacy software applications, but incumbents can embed agents into existing systems to leverage proprietary data and customer relationships. The AI build-out is causing extremely tight supply for memory chips, benefiting companies like Micron that supply memory chips and equipment manufacturers like Lam Research and KLA that manufacture wafer equipment needed to expand the supply chain. The semiconductor complex is expected to remain fundamentally strong with potential for further acceleration in specific verticals. Software sector demonstrated resilient but normalizing revenue growth with highly bifurcated results. High-growth leaders maintained 25-30% growth while enterprise stalwarts sustained low-20% growth. Software valuations faced pressure due to fears that AI agents might disrupt legacy feature-heavy applications, creating a selective opportunity to own high-quality firms at a discount. Hyperscalers have aggressively financed massive deployments of GPUs and data center capacity using robust internal cash flows. Energy availability is becoming the constraining factor on datacenter growth, and the nature of AI investment is evolving toward more complex financing structures including alternative financing and circular financing arrangements. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Feb 17, 2026 | Cullen Enhanced Equity Income Fund | 2.0% | 7.5% | AAPL, AMZN, GOOGL, JPM, KVUE, META, MSFT, NSC, NVDA, QCOM, TSLA, UNH, UNP | AI, dividends, growth, healthcare, income, rates, technology, value | The manager discusses the AI boom extensively, noting that hyperscalers continue to escalate capital spending on AI data centers while several Industrial and Utilities companies benefit from the buildout. However, they express concern that markets have already discounted much future AI-driven growth, with $9-$12 trillion of post-2022 market cap gains unexplained by fundamentals. The aggressive AI spending has materially slowed free cash flow and earnings growth for hyperscalers. The strategy focuses heavily on dividend-paying stocks, with a large dividend contribution of 4.1% and total yield of 7.2% for the year. The manager notes that defensive and dividend-oriented sectors are now at multi-decade lows in index weight and investor interest, trading at unusually attractive relative valuations. They believe equity income is becoming increasingly competitive as money market yields decline from their peaks. The manager emphasizes that Value stocks are positioned for outperformance, noting the Growth-to-Value valuation spread is near historical extremes at nearly 100% premium versus the long-term average of 57%. They highlight extreme underweight positioning, elevated valuations in growth, and historically favorable mean-reversion dynamics as creating a compelling setup for value stocks to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns. The Federal Reserve cut rates twice in Q4 to the current range of 3.50% to 3.75%, following a September cut. The manager views the Fed's easing cycle positively for high-dividend stocks, as declining short-term rates should make equity dividend yields increasingly attractive compared to money market funds. They note nearly $8 trillion is currently invested in money market funds with yields falling from peaks above 5% to 3.7%. The manager expresses concern about elevated risk appetite and speculative excess, noting that leveraged ETFs now represent roughly 1% of total ETF assets but account for over 12% of trading volume. They highlight that retail investors now account for roughly 25% of total trading volume, more than twice the long-term average, which has historically served as a signpost of market excess and potential tops. | NSC JPM KVUE UNP UNH QCOM |

They focus on financially strong, well-managed companies with durable competitive advantages operating in industries poised for long-term growth. The letter discusses how price momentum is a well-documented phenomenon where securities whose prices have risen are more likely to keep rising in the short run. When momentum takes hold, fundamentals usually fade from view while narratives are used to justify price moves. AI enthusiasm has lifted hardware and semiconductor stocks while weighing on shares of software and services holdings. The manager notes that many AI-related winners lack clear basis for continuing, with some companies barely connected to the AI theme benefiting from momentum. Gold is trading at its highest inflation-adjusted level in five decades, but it is a volatile commodity. Gold-mining companies have not had a great history of profitability other than when prices are unusually high, making the current rally questionable for long-term returns. | 2344 TT DIA IM 298380 KS |
