At the time of writing, the sell-off in financial information companies has been swift and indiscriminate, reflecting a growing fear that Advanced AI could erode these companies’ competitive advantages. We believe financial information services are not easily replicated, with moats built on several interlocking defences including data ownership, the ecosystem effect and their integration into client workflows. Advanced AI, rather than undermining incumbents, may ultimately strengthen them.

Capital allocation is a vital part of creating value and one of management’s prime responsibilities, yet not all do it well. In this updated report, we extend the analysis back to 1970 and through 2024, including capital allocation and return on invested capital (ROIC) data. We review the alternatives closely and offer a guide for thinking about value creation. We end with a framework for assessing capital allocation skills, which includes past behavior, ROIC, incentives, and key principles.

In "Tariffs: Illusion Versus Reality," Jitania Kandhari and Saumya Jain explain that it’s time to move beyond the illusion that country tariffs can deliver self-sufficiency.

For 15 years, U.S. stocks dominated while emerging markets suffered from repeated crises, leaving their assets deeply discounted. EM reforms have now rebuilt credibility while U.S. policy has grown more volatile. Paul Psaila, Co-lead PM, EM Core Strategies, posits that while a softer U.S. dollar is compressing U.S. premiums, EMs appear poised to outperform once the U.S. AI-led rally cools.

Le rapport sur l’emploi du mois d’août laisse toutefois augurer des perspectives économiques incertaines et les déficits persistants pourraient exercer des pressions haussières sur les taux d'intérêt réels sur l’ensemble de la courbe.

La gestion actions fondamentales est l’art de composer avec l’incertitude. Cette forme de gestion consiste à se forger une opinion sur la trajectoire des bénéfices des entreprises, à analyser leurs perspectives de croissance, à comprendre la solidité de leurs avantages concurrentiels et à évaluer les risques, internes ou externes, pesant sur la pérennité de leurs performances. C’est un art plus qu’une science exacte, puisque seuls certains de ces risques peuvent être quantifiés, les autres relevant clairement de l’incertitude knightienne.

The hype around data centres is undeniable. The advent of artificial intelligence has seen deal volumes soar and valuations spike. However, it is often unclear whether data centre platforms will ultimately attract the AI compute on which those investment theses were
founded. In the meantime, there are opportunities in other areas of the data centre ecosystem that are being comparatively ignored. As always, the focus must be on selectivity and discernment.

Our investigation of price declines from peak to trough, or drawdowns, for stocks and mutual funds yields some provocative results. We examine overall base rates, point out the persistence of drawdowns even in a world with perfect foresight into long-term returns, provide two case studies, review academic work, and give guidelines for considering which stocks may recover. The best investors and stocks suffer large drawdowns, which can be considered a cost of doing business over the long haul.

Critical industrial and manufacturing processes depend on the availability and quality of freshwater. As a result, disruptions in freshwater availability may pose financially material risks to investors. However, corporate disclosure and data remain a challenge due to lack of standardization and difficulties collecting data. In light of these limitations, Calvert utilizes a proprietary method to assess water risks at the sector and company level, while encouraging companies to coalesce to develop water reporting protocol similar to the Greenhouse Gas reporting protocol.

Le nombre croissant de décrets concernant les droits de douane marque un net changement de politique. À l’heure actuelle, nous pensons que la plupart des entreprises de nos portefeuilles typés qualité devraient être confrontées à un impact direct limité des droits de douane, étant donné leur biais pour les services. En parallèle, la production manufacturière locale, les marges brutes élevées et le pouvoir de fixation des prix pourraient atténuer l’impact sur les producteurs de biens détenus en portefeuille. En cas de ralentissement économique, les bénéfices de nos portefeuilles qualité devraient mieux résister que ceux du reste du marché.

L’économie américaine reste plus dynamique que celles des autres pays développés, mais elle pourrait réserver de moins bonnes surprises que lors des deux dernières années. Le marché ne semble pas partager ces doutes, comme l’illustrent les valorisation élevées des actions, le niveau modeste du VIX et un niveau de spread historiquement bas des obligations notées BBB. En tant qu’investisseurs, nous préférons les entreprises qui capitalisent sur le long terme via une croissance de leur chiffre d’affaires et des bénéfices résilients, ainsi que des multiples de valorisation raisonnables.

In his January TAKE, Senior Portfolio Manager Andrew Slimmon questions whether the 2025 equity market will be consistent with the third year of a bull market, which tends to be mediocre at best. Or will 2025 be led by a technology revolution and a gateway like the roaring late-1990s?

Les marchés sont devenus de plus en plus tendus, imprévisibles. C’est ce dont témoigne l’appétence grandissante pour le risque en réponse à la victoire de Donald Trump à l’élection présidentielle, ainsi que la domination des géants américains de la technologie, les fameux « Sept Magnifiques ». Lorsqu’un indice est faussé et que sa valorisation semble parfaite, le moindre choc ou la moindre baisse des anticipations de bénéfices peut causer des problèmes. Cette situation est risquée pour les fonds gérés passivement (index huggers), mais elle est prometteuse pour notre approche de gestion bottom-up indépendante des indices de référence, qui privilégie la capacité de entreprises de grande qualité à capitaliser sur leurs fondamentaux.

Most investors “price” the stocks of companies by using valuation multiples instead of “valuing” them based on future cash flows and fundamentals. We address what multiples miss and why they have become less informative. We examine how the two most popular multiples, P/E and EV/EBITDA, can provide different signals about a stock’s relative attractiveness. We then take a deep look at EV/EBITDA. We do not discourage the use of multiples, but users should understand the underlying value drivers.

The U.S. dollar has been the prominent global currency for more than 80 years, but its dominance is coming under pressure in the face of evolving geopolitical shifts and increasing twin deficits in the United States. Digital assets such as bitcoin, stablecoins in addition to the promise of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), have potential to significantly alter the currency landscape. These innovations, while still in their nascent stages, hold opportunities to both erode and reinforce the dollar’s hegemony in global finance, Andrew Peel of Digital Asset Markets explains.

We study the sources of total shareholder return (TSR) and tie them to underlying economic principles. This is useful to assess the prospective returns of a stock and to create a framework for flagging value traps. The analysis reveals that few investors in the stocks of companies that pay dividends earned the TSR and refutes the common belief that dividends contribute to capital accumulation. This framework gives investors a checklist of drivers and the tools to assess them.

We examine the demographics of public companies and their patterns of wealth creation. We focus on the last half century in the U.S. and review the “births” and “deaths” of public companies. We also discuss changes in market composition. Nearly 60 percent of companies have failed to create value, and 2 percent have created 90 percent of the aggregate wealth. This suggests two strategies for portfolio construction: seek broad diversification or aim to own the wealth creators.

U.S. companies are increasingly paying employees with stock-based compensation (SBC) rather than cash. We begin with data showing overall trends, then turn to the accounting issues, and wrap up by evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of SBC. Ongoing shareholders typically realize more dilution with young companies than with old ones because SBC tends to be more significant, and buybacks less significant, for young companies. Research is equivocal on the benefits commonly cited for SBC.

Probability and confidence are distinct concepts, and we believe it is useful for investors to separate them. For example, the price of two potential investments may present the same discount to expected value, but confidence in the probabilities for one may exceed those of the other. That nuance may be relevant for determining the appropriate weighting of securities or evaluating diversification.

This is a guide to estimating the cost of capital, a measure of both expected return and the discount rate. For example, investors discount future free cash flows at the cost of capital to come up with a present value. Our goal is to find a figure that reflects opportunity cost sensibly, is economically sound, and gives the investor and businessperson a practical solution. We recommend settling on a reasonable cost of capital and then allocating the bulk of time thinking about future cash flows.

We extend the analysis from our recent report, “Return on Invested Capital,” by adjusting ROIC for all companies to reflect intangible investment. While the median and aggregate ROIC for the adjusted figures is similar to the traditional one, the main result is that extremely high and low ROICs regress toward the mean. We believe these adjustments represent a step toward a more accurate view of the magnitude and return on investment.

We discuss how to calculate return on invested capital (ROIC) and show how it is connected to free cash flow, economic profit, and growth. We work through the challenges in estimating it, present empirical data, review how adjusting for intangible investments can reshape the figures, and include a case study.

We examine whether a study of market share and related concepts can help us determine if a company has a sustainable competitive advantage. This takes us on a journey that includes life cycles, market share, concentration, markups, intangibles, and "superstars". We study the link between some of these variables and return on investment and provide some analytical tools along the way. We finish with some case studies to see how these ideas apply to a handful of industries.

Investors must look past simple measures of profits to understand a business’s true ability to create value. The rise of intangibles means more investments are expensed versus capitalized, which makes financial statements appear distorted versus those of the past. Academics distinguish between GAAP losers, companies that have losses but a high return on investment, and real losers, or those that have expenses unrelated to investment that exceed sales. Evidence from recent decades shows GAAP losers produced attractive shareholder returns relative to the real losers and profitable companies.

Burgeoning industries often follow the same developmental pattern as a child’s brain, with an overproduction of options followed by a pruning of those that are not useful. This appears wasteful but is in fact an elegant solution. We discuss this pattern for companies, describe why investors should care, and offer some current examples of where this pattern of entry and exit is playing out.

The goal of capital allocation is to put resources to their best use to create long-term value per share for ongoing shareholders. The first major part of capital allocation is investing in the business. The second is transacting with mispriced securities, which introduces the potential for wealth transfers between stakeholders. Astute investors appropriately focus on a management's ability to make investments in the business, but they should also pay attention to management actions with regard to buying and selling the company’s stock.

The shift from tangible to intangible investments has complicated the ability to interpret financial statements. One solution is to record intangible investments on the balance sheet and then amortize them over their useful lives. These adjustments recast profitability for some companies and are inconsequential for others. Overall, we estimate that earnings for the S&P 500 would be about 10 percent higher with these changes. This suggests great caution in comparing earnings or valuation multiples over time.

Continuous process improvement is essential to achieving outstanding long-term outcomes. Receiving timely and accurate feedback—information used as a basis for improvement—can enhance the process and make you a better forecaster. We discuss multiple facets of process improvement, including getting the right people and helping them thrive, the role of organizational structure in fostering good decision making, and specific mechanisms to sharpen execution. We draw on principles from other fields but focus primarily on the investment management industry.

Organisms allocate energy between growth and maintenance and repair. They stop growing when maintenance requires all of the energy. Substitute capital for energy and companies appear to follow a similar trajectory. This is important because you can anticipate a company’s growth only if you understand how much capital it spends on growth versus maintenance. Most executives and investors likely underestimate maintenance spending. Steps toward better understanding include a proper assessment of maintenance capital expenditures and a separation of SG&A into investment and maintenance components.

Accounting has not kept pace with the changing economics of businesses, which has created a huge gap between what companies report in their financial statements and what an investor needs to understand a business. To better categorize activities, we suggest making adjustments within the statement of cash flows pertaining to stock-based compensation, leases, and intangible investments. We believe these adjustments substantially improve the description of a business. We share a case study of Amazon for 2020 to make the concepts more concrete.

We suggest the mantra “everything is a DCF model.” Whenever investors value a stake in a cash-generating asset, they should recognize they are using a discounted cash flow (DCF) model. The topic deserves attention because many market participants don’t think DCF models are relevant, and many use heuristics for value without recognizing the purpose and limitations of the shorthands. The intrinsic value, determined by the present value of future cash flows, attracts the price like a magnetic force. This means it is useful for investors to keep in mind the value drivers of a discounted cash flow model.

The shift in investments from tangible to intangible assets has important implications for how investors should think about corporate growth rates. Companies with more intangible assets can grow faster, but they can also become irrelevant and shrink faster. Our analysis of historical sales growth rates for U.S. companies reveals both of these results: higher growth and more dispersion, on average, for companies and industries with the highest intangible asset intensity. Skillful investors may be able to identify the companies that will grow faster than expected, hence providing the potential for attractive returns.

This report focuses on the customer as the basic unit of analysis in understanding value. The idea of customer lifetime value has been around for decades, but we believe our discussion is richer and more nuanced than what many companies and analysts present. We discuss a framework called customer-based corporate valuation, which links customer economics to shareholder value and offers a more robust way to forecast revenues. We also show the limitations of common ratios such as customer lifetime value to customer acquisition cost (LTV/CAC), explore how companies can create consumer and supplier surplus, provide a case study, examine trade-offs in the drivers of value, and explore common errors.

This report describes market-expected return on investment (MEROI), which measures the return at which the present value of a company’s profits equals the present value of its investments. This allows executives and investors to see how high the bar is set. Measuring returns has become harder as investments have shifted from being mostly tangible to intangible. We gain a clearer view of returns and expectations by separating expenses and investments properly. We break new ground by connecting valuation and accounting.

The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and volatility (vol) generally move in lockstep, but 2020 is unusual because the cost of capital is well below its historical average and volatility is well above its historical average. The prime beneficiaries of these patterns are companies rich with real options. In this report, we define real options, discuss what businesses are likely to have them, review the valuation implications, and finish with a way to use real options analysis with traditional valuation.
