In its letter, the fund mentioned that it knows very little in economics, politics, and investor psychology is predictable. The fund believes, though, that business value is (roughly) measurable and that it (eventually) exerts a gravitational pull on a company’s stock price. According to Weitz Investment, when confidence is shaken and markets are volatile, active managers have the raw material they need to add value for investors.

Here is what Weitz Investment Management, Inc. has to say about The Liberty SiriusXM Group in its Q4 2021 investor letter:

“Another Liberty company, Liberty SiriusXM, owns over 80% of SiriusXM Satellite Radio. We believe that SiriusXM is undervalued and that the Liberty SiriusXM structure allows us to own the company at a discount. Both Charter Communications and SiriusXM are growing nicely, generating prodigious amounts of free cash flow and buying back lots of their own stock. John Malone controls both of these Liberty securities, and we believe he will find ways to close the discounts and extract maximum value for shareholders. Both Liberty securities were stock market duds in 2021, but we expect them to be contributors in 2022 regardless of what the general market does.”
