Summary

In today’s episode, Trey Lockerbie welcomes back Bill Nygren and Mike Nicolas from Oakmark Funds, which currently manages over $60B in assets. When Bill and Mike were on the show last time back in April of 2020, we discussed Bank of America. Since then, BOA’s stock price has risen over 100%, so Trey takes the opportunity to discuss how they value the stock today. But, the main point of today's discussion is to take a deep dive into a potentially surprising value pick: Facebook.  IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN: (01:47) How Bank of America is poised for growth over the long term (16:19) How Facebook is an asset-light, money printing machine with some moonshot R&D that is potentially undervalued (42:55) How Oakmark has got comfortable with companies like Facebook, Netflix, and Amazon as “value stocks” (46:13) The growth still ahead for Facebook, and much much more BOOKS AND RESOURCES Join the exclusive TIP Mastermind Community to engage in meaningful stock investing discussions with Stig, Clay, and the other community members.

Welcome to the investors podcast. I'm your host, Tray Lockerby. I'm so excited to have Bill

1:40.7

Nygren and Mike Nicholas back on the show. Welcome back gentlemen.

1:44.7

Thank you. Thanks, Troy.

1:46.7

One reason I'm incredibly excited to have you guys back is because last time you were

1:51.4

on the show, we were talking about Bank of America. This was kind of back in Q4 of 2020.

1:57.8

At that time, the stock was trading around $21. Of course, this is kind of after the whole

2:02.8

COVID pandemic that wrecked the market. It's since risen to over $42 and the 100% increase.

2:11.1

Given the amazing performance, I feel that we have to spend a few minutes on it just to touch

2:15.6

base on the stock to see how you're thinking about today's price versus the intrinsic value you set

2:20.1

for prior. Let me just pick it off. I don't think there are any stocks in the market today

2:27.1

that we're as excited about as we were last December. The whole market is up. Our portfolio has

2:32.5

done significantly better than the market. As prices go up, we think opportunity is less than

2:38.4

it was when things were really cheap. The financials are no exception to that. Most of them went

2:44.4

down a lot in the first two quarters last year. Since November, they've come back a lot.

2:50.8

In our opinion, they've kind of gone from real cheap to cheap.

2:54.7

Mike can share more of the detail on Bank America. The story will be the same for half a dozen

3:01.0

financials in our portfolio. They're not as cheap as they were nine months ago, six months ago,

3:06.6
