PM Images/DigitalVision via Getty Images The Large Cap Equity Fund's Institutional Class returned -12.04% in the first quarter, compared to -4.22% for the Bloomberg U.S. 1000 Index. While the calendar flipped from 2025 to 2026, the Fund's recent performance challenges continued. We believe our companies are doing just fine, on balance, and we think they are collectively growing their business values at acceptable rates. Their stock prices simply do not reflect the business progress that we see. You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. - Bob Dylan Long-term investing often means returns do not come on a schedule. The recent period of poor results has been as frustrating for us as we know it has been for you. The upside for our investors is that the portfolio is much cheaper today than it was 3 (or 18) months ago. Starting valuations do matter, and the latest round of multiple compression may serve as a coiled spring for forward return potential. The Fund remained concentrated in our best ideas, and we still have strong conviction in the core of the portfolio. Yet, we also need to invest in the “real-world” market that we face every day, rather than the market that we would like to have. Due to a confluence of factors, the stock market is increasingly thematic, temperamental, and subject to violent short-term swings. We are long-term investors, and we often talk about the value and challenges associated with “looking across a valley” to generate returns. Well, in today's world, we might encounter a dozen different peaks and valleys across our investment horizon, and both sides can be steep and deep. As a result, we must be increasingly nimble and decisive to make sure the market is serving us, rather than the other way around. Using data-driven insights, we continued to adapt and tweak the tactics required to “take what the market gives us.” Specifically, we have been more active on both sides of the buy and sell ledger, consistent with our valuat...

In this week's column, we're going to look at the similarities and differences between betting on horses and investing in stocks — and then share our outlook on the growth trade selloff that began last week. We're coming off a fun weekend here in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. following the running of the Belmont Stakes, the third leg of the Triple Crown. Local trainer Cherie DeVaux became the first female trainer to win both the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes. Unfortunately, she skipped entering her winning horse Golden Tempo in the Preakness, so no Triple Crown this year. How is this relevant? While waiting for my wife to choose a dress and hat for the event, I found myself with some free time contemplating the similarities and differences between betting on horses and investing in the market. I had enough time to write a full blog post on it, which I'll link below. The summary goes like this: with horse racing, you can study the bloodline of the horse, past race stats, and the trainer's history to inform your pick. Right up until the gates open, you can watch the odds shift as money flows into the market and make a last-minute bet. But once the horses are in the gate, your bet is locked. There's nothing you can do to manage risk from that point forward. Investing is different. Like horse racing, you can study a company's financials, future projections, management team and addressable market before placing your bet. But that's where the similarities end. After you've committed capital to a stock, you can watch your analysis play out in real time as the company navigates incoming data, changing market conditions and macroeconomic developments — and you can adjust. You can size up, size down or exit entirely. Think about how many variables arise in a horse race — track conditions, your horse's temperament that day, how the field is running, the quality of the start — that would send bettors rushing back to the window if they could. Investors have that window. It neve...

PeterTakacs/iStock Editorial via Getty Images In March, I upgraded Saab ( SAABF , SAABY ) from hold to buy on a revitalized war environment. However, it quickly turned out that investors have been more concerned about the impact on input costs and supply chains rather than seeing this as an opportunity to justify higher valuation multiples. The result is that the stock has dropped by nearly 25% while the S&P 500 gained 12.1%. In this report, I discuss the Q1 2026 earnings and update my price target, as I believe the current share price offers a good buy opportunity for dollar-cost averaging. Saab Backlog Progresses With Short Cycle Work As Key Driver For Full Booking Backlog by year (Saab (Earnings Presentation)) At the end of the first quarter, the backlog was SEK 274 billion or $29 billion. We note that backlog visibility is improving strongly, especially for 2027. At the same time, we note that there still is work to be done. Currently, roughly 84% of the expected revenues for 2026 have already been recognized or booked. For 2027, we note that over 70% of the expected revenues have already been booked. The company booked around SEK 18 billion in orders during the first quarter. At that rate, by the end of the second quarter and perhaps into the third quarter, 2026 will be fully booked, and there should be sufficient time to fully book 2027 as well. So, I don’t expect any problems there with a focus on short-cycle work. Saab Shows Impressive Sales and Gross Profit Growth but Also Sees Higher Fixed Costs Q1 Earnings (Saab (Earnings Presentation)) In the first quarter, sales grew 21.4% to SEK 19.2 billion, with gross margins remaining stable around 23.5%. EBIT grew 32% to SEK 1.92 billion on improving operating leverage, which drove the margins from 9.2% to 10%. EBITDA grew 27.6% to SEK 2.73 billion, with margins expanding 70 basis points to 14.3% Aeronautics sales increased 15% to SEK 5.2 billion, driven by the Gripen program. However, EBIT declined by 11% to SEK 3...

"We see strength across the portfolio," CFO Christophe Le Caillec said at the Morgan Stanley US Financials Conference. Q2-to-date billing growth is slightly better than Q1 2026, which was the company's strongest quarter in three years, he said. Demand for new cards is very strong and tracking to the company's plans, he added. Furthermore, credit is strong as well. Inflation, as it stands now, hasn't changed American Express's ( AXP ) confidence in its card members.
