“Some of our best contributors for 2025 included leading electronics and industrial assembler FLEX, global media company Warner Bros. Discovery and the aforementioned Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C). Importantly, each was purchased for very attractive valuations, relative to our estimates of earnings power, while having their own drivers of value leading to improved earnings.
