In its Q3 2023 investor letter, Bonhoeffer Capital Management stated the following regarding Morningstar, Inc. (NASDAQ:MORN):

“In memory of Charlie Munger’s death, one of his ideas that always struck me the most was to look at value growth, in addition to current valuation, in determining interesting stock opportunities. Value growth has generated much higher returns than changes in valuation over time. This is in part due to value growth being recurring in nature, whereas valuation changes are one-time events. One way to look at this is to use Morningstar, Inc. (NASDAQ:MORN) to examine how fair value estimates have changed over time versus changes to discounts from fair value for a given firm.”
