Trump Tariffs Higher than Expected; What We're Doing
The Trump tariff increases came in larger than what we were expecting, and it remains to be seen how they will flow through the global economy, as we monitor potential retaliatory tariffs from other countries. As it relates to the equity markets, we’re taking a wait and see approach at the moment as we monitor new policy changes related to trade, immigration, fiscal (tax), and regulations. In short, we’re not overreacting to the sell off as we won’t have a great handle on the tariff impact to companies for a few quarters when they report results post-tariff increases. That said, we’re expecting continued market volatility, with meaningful risk to the downside, before trade uncertainty alleviates in the coming months.

Oracle’s Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO) Growth Speaks to Accelerated Expansion
Image Source: Oracle. We particularly liked Oracle’s growth in total remaining performance obligations (RPO) in the quarter, which were up 49% in USD and 50% in constant currency year-over-year. During the past twelve months, Oracle’s operating cash flow came in at $20.3 billion, while free cash flow was $9.5 billion. The company ended the quarter with $11.3 billion in cash and marketable securities and $88.6 billion in notes payable and other borrowings. Though Oracle has a hefty net debt position and capital spending is expected to double in fiscal 2025, we still like the company’s cloud opportunity, and it remains a key holding in both the simulated Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio and simulated ESG Newsletter portfolio.

Paper: Value and Momentum Within Stocks, Too
Abstract: This paper strives to advance the field of finance in four ways: 1) it extends the theory of the “The Arithmetic of Active Management” to the investor level; 2) it addresses certain data problems of factor-based methods, namely with respect to value and book-to-market ratios, while introducing price-to-fair-value ratios in a factor-based approach; 3) it may lay the foundation for academic literature regarding the Valuentum, the value-timing, and ultra-momentum factors; and 4) it walks through the potential relative outperformance that may be harvested at the intersection of relevant, unique and compensated factors within individual stocks.
