| 2025 Q4 | Feb 12, 2026 | Broyhill Asset Management | 0.0% | 0.0% | AVTR, BAX, DLTR, FI, FUN, IQV, PM, RKT.L, TMO, WOSG.L | AI, Concentration, defensives, Europe, fundamentals, momentum, Speculation, value | The AI capital cycle has created extreme market concentration and speculative momentum, with AI-related stocks accounting for 75% of S&P 500 returns since ChatGPT launched. The manager views this as a bubble similar to historical infrastructure buildouts like railroads and electricity, where early investors suffered catastrophic losses while benefits ultimately accrued to users rather than producers. Current AI capex spending approaches 2.1% of GDP, nearing levels that coincided with previous market peaks. Value stocks are trading at some of the widest discounts on record, with the portfolio positioned in businesses trading at substantial discounts to normalized earnings power. The manager believes this disconnect reflects pessimism and exhaustion rather than permanent impairment, creating an extremely promising starting point for long-term outperformance as fundamentals reassert themselves. Momentum has been the single defining force across equity markets, with performance increasingly driven by narratives rather than fundamentals. The current cycle has been one for the record books, with the two years leading up to 2025 being the second strongest on record for momentum after the dot-com era. The manager expects mean reversion to eventually favor value strategies. Global defensive sectors have fallen to their lowest weighting since 2000, trading at discounts to both the market and their own histories amid deteriorating sentiment and unusually high short interest. These sectors offer significant upside potential and provide defense, as companies selling basic necessities tend to shine when the rest of the market is in trouble. | RKT LN WOSG LN FUN AVTR FISV DLTR IQV PM |
