Let’s take a look at comments made by Broyhill Asset Management about KAR Auction Services Inc. (NYSE:KAR) stock in the Q2 2019 investor letter.
“The auto industry is perhaps the best example of how near-term cyclical concerns have dragged down multiples and how growing secular concerns have increased uncertainty across the sector. This dynamic can create compelling opportunities for investors who can distinguish between uncertainty (which can provide attractive entry points) and risk (which can be reduced by a lower purchase price). While the changes now occurring in the auto industry may appear sudden, the truth is that transportation has been evolving for centuries. Change can happen fast. It can also take longer to play out than expected, or it could play out completely different altogether. It’s this difference in expectations that creates opportunities amidst change. Our recent investment in KAR Auction Services (KAR), which we discussed at ValueX Vail, is a good illustration of this dynamic. That presentation is available here.”
