លោក Wallace Weitz (ជំនួញ, គេហទំព័រផ្ទាល់ខ្លួន), head of Weitz Investment Management, disclosed his first-quarter portfolio earlier this month.

When picking stocks, the guru’s Omaha, Nebraska-based firm combines Benjamin Graham’s principles of price sensitivity and insistence on margin of safety with a conviction that qualitative factors that allow the company to control its future can be more important than statistical metrics like book value and earnings.

In his first-quarter letter for the Partners III Opportunity Fund, Weitz noted the year started with a “cloudy investment outlook that only grew more tumultuous.” He wrote:

“The Omicron wave of Covid-19 cases peaked in early January, but global supply chains are far from healthy. By the end of 2021, supply shortages combined with sustained, massive monetary and fiscal stimulus had already stoked the flames of inflation. Anticipating a hawkish shift at the Federal Reserve, investors began the year repricing assets for a higher interest rate environment. The outbreak of war in Ukraine brought senseless death and destruction, injecting further disruption to global markets. Energy prices surged further as importers of Russian oil and natural gas sought alternative supply. Market conditions remain dynamic, and although markets have recovered a portion of their intra-quarter drawdown, we anticipate further volatility ahead.”

Keeping these considerations in mind, Weitz was active on both the buy and sell sides of the trading ledger during the three months ended March 31. According to 13F filings with the SEC, he entered one new position during the quarter, which was Gartner
IT
Inc (IT, ហិរញ្ញវត្ថុ), and added to or trimmed a number of existing investments. Other notable trades included increased bets on CoStar Group
ស៊ីអេសជីភីភី
Inc (ស៊ីអេសជីភីភី, ហិរញ្ញវត្ថុ) and Meta Platforms Inc. (FB, ហិរញ្ញវត្ថុ) as well as reductions in the Charles Schwab Corp. (អេសអេសអេស, ហិរញ្ញវត្ថុ) and Aon PLC (អូន, ហិរញ្ញវត្ថុ) ការកាន់កាប់។

suggests the stock is modestly overvalued currently based on historical ratios, past performance and future earnings projections.

GuruFocus rated Gartner’s financial strength 5 out of 10. In addition to sufficient interest coverage, the Altman Z-Score of 3.45 indicates the company is in good standing even though assets are building up at a faster rate than revenue is growing. The return on invested capital also slightly exceeds the weighted average cost of capital, meaning value is being created as the company grows.

The company’s profitability fared much better with a 10 out of 10 rating, driven by an expanding operating margin as well as strong returns on equity, assets and capital that top a majority of competitors. Gartner also has a high Piotroski F-Score of 7 out of 9, meaning operations are healthy, and consistent earnings and revenue growth contributed to a predictability rank of four out of five stars. According to GuruFocus research, companies with this rank return an average of 9.8% annually over a 10-year period.

The company’s profitability scored a 9 out of 10 rating, driven by an expanding operating margin and returns that outperform over half of its industry peers.

The company’s profitability fared even better with a 10 out of 10 rating. Despite recording a decline in its margins, Meta is supported by strong returns that top a majority of competitors. It also has a moderate Piotroski F-Score of 5. Consistent earnings and revenue growth contributed to a 4.5-star predictability rank.
