About David Abrams
David Abrams founded Boston-based Abrams Capital Management after spending years as a senior analyst under Seth Klarman at Baupost Group — a lineage that shapes everything about how the fund is run. The style is deep-value, highly concentrated, and patient to a degree that most institutional allocators find difficult to tolerate: 11 disclosed positions with the top five accounting for roughly 83% of the equity book is not a transitional condition but a stable feature of the portfolio. Current weightings in names like LOAR, LAD, and ABG reflect a preference for competitively durable, capital-light or asset-backed businesses purchased at what Abrams judges to be a discount to intrinsic value. Because the fund also runs credit, private positions, and hedges that are structurally invisible to 13F filings, the public equity snapshot is partial by design — readers should treat it as a window into the long equity sleeve, not a complete picture of risk or return attribution.
2026Q2 brief
David Abrams at Abrams Capital Management runs one of the most concentrated books among super-investors, and Q2 2026 reinforces that posture with just 11 positions and top-5 names comprising 85.5% of a $5.48B portfolio. The filing was remarkably quiet—no new positions, no additions, no exits—with the only reported change being a −26.6% trim of GOOGL, bringing it to 8.9% of the portfolio. That said, LOAR (Loar Holdings) remains an extraordinary 47.1% single-stock concentration, a position that dwarfs everything else and reflects Abrams's long-standing conviction in the aerospace components compounder. LAD (Lithia Motors) holds at 13.2% as the #2 slot, with SGI and ABG rounding out a tilt toward auto retail. The GOOGL trim is worth noting: it mirrors similar reductions by peers like Samantha McLemore and could signal valuation discipline on mega-cap tech after a strong run. The single thing to watch in Q3: whether the LOAR concentration continues to grow passively or if Abrams begins trimming what is now an outsized single-name risk.
