“Floor & Decor Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:FND), was “cyclical” risk sales in the sense that the stock has benefitted from some pandemic-related boosts in sales and/or they are more exposed to economic downturns. Floor & Décor is a terrific business that we would love to own more of at a better price. Given the significant amount of home renovations that have occurred during the pandemic, we thought better of our continued ownership in this stock until we were at a more favorable point in the economic cycle.”
