- Palm Valley Capital Groundhog Day Palm Valley retained a large Treasury-bill allocation and avoided AI beneficiaries, arguing that speculative valuations, peak margins, and costly AI investment leave little room for normal competition and cyclicality. The fund added Clorox, Molson Coors, and Vontier, sold Heartland Express at its valuation, and maintained positions in discounted businesses including Amdocs, LKQ, Kelly Services, and TrueBlue. Second Quarter 2026 CLX $9.9BDOX $6.1BHTLD $868M
- Palm Valley Capital Fourth Quarter 2025 Commentary Palm Valley Capital Fund added Domino’s Pizza Group, Utz Brands and Ingredion, increased Flowers Foods and Farmland Partners, and exited its Sprott Physical Silver Trust position. The managers argue that tax-loss selling and index rebalancing have created selective small-cap opportunities, while maintaining a cautious stance on inflation, valuations and speculative markets. Fourth Quarter 2025 DPUKY $1.2BFLO $1.2BFORR $217M
- Palm Valley Capital The Puppet Show Palm Valley Capital Fund added Healthcare Services Group, Chord Energy, RPC and Papa John’s during the April selloff, then trimmed or exited positions as prices approached calculated value. The fund argues that policy support, persistent deficits and elevated corporate margins have prolonged asset inflation, while keeping substantial cash available for more compelling dislocations. Second Quarter 2025 CHRD $7.5BCRI $1.2BHCSG $1.4B
- Palm Valley Capital First Quarter 2025 Commentary Palm Valley Capital Fund kept more than three quarters of assets in cash equivalents while adding starter positions in Forrester Research, Monro, Reynolds Consumer Products and Flowers Foods, citing a split small-cap market and concern over permanent impairment in low-quality companies. It added staffing and trucking exposure, trimmed securities near valuation, and argues fiscal retrenchment and speculation leave investors vulnerable to a fuller market cycle. First Quarter 2025 CRI $1.2BFLO $1.2BFORR $217M
- Palm Valley Capital Great Expectations Palm Valley Capital Fund added Kelly Services, Seaboard and Heartland Express as wider discounts to estimated value justified raising equity exposure from a cash-heavy posture. The fund sold Crawford & Co. and Helen of Troy, while arguing that speculative asset prices and elevated small-cap valuations warrant discipline despite improving prospects for selected cyclical businesses. Fourth Quarter 2024 CRI $1.2BFPI $452MHTLD $868M
- Palm Valley Capital First Quarter 2026 Commentary Palm Valley Capital Fund held 77% of assets in Treasury-bill-heavy cash equivalents while finding valuation discounts across staffing, food, software, medical devices and used car parts. It bought Rayonier and trimmed Chord Energy, Heartland Express and Farmland Partners as they neared estimated value. The fund argues that AI disruption is being overstated in several holdings, particularly Amdocs and staffing firms. First Quarter 2026 CHRD $7.5BDOX $6.1BFLO $1.2B
