Andvari Associates stated the following regarding Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation (NYSE:BAH) in its Q1 2025 investor letter:
“With tariffs dominating news headlines, we must first confess we cannot predict what exactly the impact will be upon our holdings. However, it is still worth discussing the degree to which tariffs may or may not affect the companies in which we are invested. For several reasons, our companies are prepared to manage through this new paradigm.
First, tariffs in most historical cases have been applied to physical goods and commodities. Because Andvari owns many businesses that sell intangibles like software or services, we are well positioned. We also own many businesses we think of as primarily service-based, such as, Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation (NYSE:BAH). Provides management and technology consulting services primarily to the U.S. government. This is a small, new investment for Andvari that we started after the share price fell significantly due to negative news about DOGE and aggressive government efficiency efforts.”
