BPCAP Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Klarman recently referred to the relentless lagging of stocks (presumably large cap ones) that are not included in prominent indexes. Any large names that come to mind not in the S&P? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any large names that come to mind not in the S&P? Thanks Id start by looking in the Baupost portfolio. Theres been no more prominent an underperforming bitch and moaner over the last half decade than Klarman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuleNumberOne Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 The best performers have been the large stocks that are not in the S&P 500. It is very simple: - they are not in the S&P 500 despite their size because they have never been profitable. - because they have never been profitable their valuation is limited only by human imagination. These include: all the SaaS stocks, Shopify, and others. If a SaaS stock becomes barely profitable, it gets admitted into the S&P 500 (like ServiceNow). There are countless unprofitable companies that are much larger than the smallest S&P 500 company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
