| 2025 Q4 | Feb 24, 2026 | Hayden Capital | -12.9% | 22.3% | 1519.HK, 7974.T, ABNB, APP, BKNG, CPNG, DASH, EDU, EXPE, GTLB, MELI, NFLX, NOW, RBLX, SE, SPOT, TEAM, TTWO, U, UBER | AI, competition, E-Commerce, gaming, international, software, technology, valuation | The AI cycle is shifting from building core infrastructure to attacking real-world applications, creating uncertainty about which legacy firms will benefit versus face disruption. Software companies are experiencing a valuation reset as investors question the fundamental value of code when AI can commoditize engineering work. The manager sees opportunities in incumbent companies that can successfully leverage AI to amplify their business models. Ecommerce platforms like Sea Ltd are protected by physical logistics infrastructure and network effects that AI cannot easily replicate. The manager argues that TikTok Shop's growth is decelerating based on alternative data, and that Shopee's margin compression is discretionary investment to strengthen competitive positioning. The core value remains in the network and distribution capabilities. Gaming platforms benefit from network effects where millions of players create instant matchmaking and attract user-generated content creators. As games become easier to make with AI, profit pools will shift toward distribution and monetization platforms rather than game creation itself. The bottleneck remains in attracting users and monetizing games, not creating them. | SE EDU |

| 2025 Q4 | Feb 23, 2026 | Barometer Capital Management Inc. | 0.0% | 0.0% | AEM.TO, BBD-B.TO, BVN, CAT, CLS.TO, CPX.TO, FTT.TO, GOOGL, HWM, K.TO, LRCX, MS, NA.TO, POW.TO, RTX, RY.TO, SAN, SE, TTWO, TVE.TO | AI, Canada, Copper, defense, energy, financials, Precious Metals, semiconductors | AI infrastructure remained a pillar of market leadership despite some consolidation in December. The market continued to distinguish between AI-enablers where demand remained strong and more cyclical parts of the chip complex, reinforcing the durability of the infrastructure buildout theme. Semiconductors exposed to AI maintained strength as semiconductor capital spending remained supported by AI-driven demand for advanced chips. Defense spending stayed elevated amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, supporting backlog strength and long-cycle earnings durability for aerospace and defense companies. RTX and Howmet extended gains as commercial aerospace demand remained strong and defense spending supported long-cycle revenue visibility through backlogs. Precious metals experienced renewed volatility during the quarter, with gold and silver weakening sharply into the end of October after an extended run higher. The pullback created opportunity as the manager re-engaged at lower levels when the market stabilized and the broader macro backdrop remained supportive for hard assets. Gold miners delivered strong returns throughout the year despite some weakness in final days of December. Copper prices surged into year-end amid rising demand tied to electrification, infrastructure, and data-center buildouts, alongside persistent supply constraints. This supported miners levered to the copper theme, with materials exposure contributing positively through companies like Hudbay Minerals and Rio Tinto benefiting from strength in copper and base metals. The portfolio benefited from exposure to global power demand themes, with Caterpillar continuing to benefit from robust demand in its energy & transportation business increasingly tied to expanding global power needs, particularly the build-out of AI data centers requiring reliable on-site generation capacity. Nuclear energy remained supported by structural tailwinds including rising global demand for reliable baseload power. Financials added to returns with banks demonstrating strong earnings power and shareholder return capacity. Morgan Stanley benefited from a supportive backdrop for capital markets activity and wealth management momentum, while Canadian banks continued to demonstrate resilient profitability and capital strength supporting shareholder return expectations. | TVE CN LRCX CAT |
