Q2 hedge fund letters, conference, scoops etc

Left Brain was one of the three under-the-radar hedge funds profiled in ValueWalk’s premium newsletter, Hidden Value Stocks.

425% annualized return

Left Brain’s Chief Investment Officer, Noland Langford highlight The Trade Desk as one of his favorite investments in the current market.

“What we really like is the Trade Desk is already profitable. Q1’s revenue growth was 100%, and it produced EBITDA of $6.3 million and GAAP net income of $9.1 million. It’s rare for a small high growth company to be showing positive net earnings in the hyper-growth stage. They are normally plowing all of their revenues back into their business to support their growth. And, with a market cap approaching $4 billion, uncontested leadership in the high growth programmatic industry with a total addressable market of $650 billion, we think the shares have a lot of headroom in the years ahead.”

This thesis was initially published in the Hidden Value Stocks Q2 2018 issue, which went out to subscribers on June 29, 2018.

Since the issue was published, The Trade Desk has reported Q2 results, which significantly beat Wall Street expectations and the stock has surged. The total gain since publication is 51%, an annualized return of 425%.

Buffett-style value stocks

Left Brain isn’t the only value hedge fund that has featured an idea in the Hidden Value Stocks newsletter. Since the beginning of 2016, the newsletter has featured 20 hedge funds, which have picked out a total of 39 stock ideas.

The average return of each idea is 21% (one year holding period to December 11), and on a cash basis, a $1,000 investment in every idea rolled over every 12 months has generated a total return of over 50%. This is not a backtest and we used the same formula since the beginning. The returns for all the ideas published are here.
