About Kahn Brothers Group
Kahn Brothers Group is a New York-based value-oriented investment firm founded by Irving Kahn — who studied under Benjamin Graham at Columbia and worked alongside him at Graham-Newman — and later continued by his sons Thomas and Alan. The firm runs a concentrated, long-only equity book in the classic Graham tradition: patient accumulation of statistically cheap or out-of-favor names, low turnover, and little appetite for macro positioning or derivatives. With 47 reported positions and top-5 holdings accounting for roughly 52% of the disclosed portfolio, the 13F is a reasonably complete picture of their activity; the book is equity-long with no known systematic use of shorts or options that would create material gaps between the filing and economic exposure. Readers should note that the backtest implied by the public filings has trailed SPY by roughly 2.4 percentage points annually over twelve years — a pattern consistent with deep-value strategies that have faced structural headwinds since 2010, and with a style that prioritizes capital preservation and absolute returns over benchmark-relative performance.
2026Q2 brief
Kahn Brothers' $560M portfolio was entirely static this quarter—no new positions, no additions, no trims, no exits—a remarkable display of conviction (or patience) across all 47 holdings. The book remains deeply value-oriented and contrarian: C leads at 16.9%, followed by BAYRY (Bayer AG) at 13.3%, a name under severe legal pressure over glyphosate litigation that most institutions have abandoned. FLG sits at 9.5%, DIS at 6.5%, and GOOG at 6.2% round out the top five. The portfolio's concentration in out-of-favor large-caps—OGN (5.9%), BP (5.2%), and SEB (5.9%)—reflects the firm's multigenerational, deep-value DNA inherited from Irving Kahn. No turnover whatsoever contrasts sharply with peers rotating aggressively this quarter, suggesting Kahn Brothers sees current prices as either fair or below intrinsic value across the board. The BAYRY bet remains the highest-conviction contrarian call—Bayer's legal resolution timeline is the key catalyst. Watch next filing: any movement in BAYRY or OGN would signal a change in thesis on the two most distressed large holdings.
