Yacktman Asset Management
Yacktman Asset Management
2026Q1 brief
Yacktman's $7.5B value-and-quality portfolio held its characteristic defensive posture, with CNQ (Canadian Natural Resources) an outsized 10.75% top position anchoring the book in energy. The most meaningful new addition is PYPL (PayPal) at 1.38% — a contrarian value bet on a misunderstood fintech franchise, consistent with Yacktman's history of buying out-of-favor large-caps with strong cash generation. Other new names — FDS (FactSet, 0.65%), AVTR (Avantor, 0.50%), and BRBR (BellRing Brands, 0.32%) — are small but diverse, spanning data services, life sciences, and consumer nutrition. The aggressive LEGH (Legacy Housing) add of 302% to 0.19% is a micro-cap manufactured-housing bet that stands out as unusually speculative for this shop. The near-complete liquidation of SPY (-88% to 0.03%) removes the passive hedge entirely, suggesting Yacktman sees better relative value in individual names. Exits are minimal — WBD (0.72%) the only notable departure. The portfolio remains highly defensive: MSFT, SCHW, GOOG, PEP, JNJ, and PG dominate. Watch whether PYPL builds meaningfully — it would be the firmest signal yet of a fintech value thesis taking root.
