2026 Q1
2026 first quarter investor letter

We used price weakness to add to Brown-Forman (BF.B). The company has a strong brand portfolio and is well-positioned in the beverage industry. Our decision to increase our position reflects our confidence in its long-term growth potential, especially as we believe the current market conditions present a favorable entry point. Brown-Forman's resilience and ability to navigate market fluctuations make it an attractive investment for our portfolio.
Pelican Bay Capital Management
Bullish
2025 Q2
2025 second quarter investor letter
What the manager wrote
We initiated a new investment in liquor producer Brown-Forman Company (BF.B) as fears over the structural collapse of the spirits industry have created a tremendous opportunity for investors. We have long admired Brown-Forman as one of the top liquor companies with world-class brands, holding a dominant position in the American Whiskey category. The company has delivered 32% operating margins over the last decade and a nearly 40% Return on Equity (ROE). Despite a 62% stock price drop in the last two years, we believe the spirits industry will return to its long-run growth rate, with Brown-Forman's U.S. business expected to grow at 4-5% and international sales at 5-7%. This should boost operating margins and result in normal earnings power of $2.15-$2.50 per share.
