Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AI Fear and Factor Rotations Collide (Episode #315: MCG Review of Q1 2026)
Q: How is AI disruption risk influencing holdings and the rationale for staying invested in certain AI-adjacent businesses?
While some shares declined on AI fears, we believe many AI-adjacent companies have strong tailwinds and can sustain profitability through productivity gains and AI-enabled revenue opportunities, especially where data centers, network security, and specialized software enable efficiencies.
AI Fear and Factor Rotations Collide (Episode #315: MCG Review of Q1 2026)
Q: What holdings stood out as detractors and contributors to performance for the quarter?
Fair Isaac (FICO) was the largest detractor, with others including Goosehead Insurance, Reddit, Toast, and Insulate; on the contributor side, Comfort Systems, Monolithic Power Systems, Cloudflare, The New York Times Company, and Medline stood out, driven by their exposure to AI-adjacent opportunities and durable earnings.
AI Fear and Factor Rotations Collide (Episode #315: MCG Review of Q1 2026)
Q: Can you give your view of market performance in the first quarter and its impact on the strategy's relative performance?
The quarter was tough; growth underperformed as the market rotated toward energy, defense, and deep value, while our focus on high-quality, pricing-powerful businesses led to under- or over-weights relative to the broader benchmark, emphasizing conviction in long-term earnings growth despite short-term sentiment.
Navigating Volatility Without Chasing Energy (Episode #313: SCC Review of Q1 2026)
Q: John, what types of changes were made in the portfolio during the quarter?
Active repositioning included adding Pool Corp, selling Rightmove, and increasing exposure to Corvallis‑referenced positions where prices declined, leveraging volatility.
Navigating Volatility Without Chasing Energy (Episode #313: SCC Review of Q1 2026)
Q: John, can you talk about the impact of the invasion of Iran and the spike in oil prices on the strategy both directly and indirectly?
The Iran conflict propelled oil prices higher and affected expectations across businesses, but the team aims to identify attributes like price power and capital-light models to mitigate direct energy exposure.
