Should You Expect Outsized Performance from FirstService Corp (FSV)?

Argosy Investors, an investment management company, released its Q1 2026 investor letter. A copy is available to download here. The letter discussed the current transformative investment landscape driven by the AI capex boom. The author expressed skepticism about the durability of the earnings flowing to its market participants and suppliers. The main challenge during capex booms is balancing supply and demand, especially the accelerated shift of AI technologies. While companies benefit from rising volumes and prices, the potential for earnings to be overstated becomes a concern if supply catches up quicker than anticipated. In this backdrop, the firm remains cautious in taking investment decisions. In addition, please check the Fund’s top five holdings to know its best picks in 2026.

Argosy Investors stated the following regarding FirstService Corporation (NASDAQ:FSV) in its Q1 2026 investor letter:

“I also added meaningfully to FirstService Corporation (NASDAQ:FSV). I have a great deal of respect for Jay Hennick, the largest shareholder and founder of FirstService. FirstService manages ~6% of the HOA/managed units in the US, and is the largest player in this space by a significant margin. There is a multi-decade consolidation opportunity in this market, and I believe Hennick’s partnership-based compensation model for acquired businesses is unique and likely to drive outsized performance of the base and acquired businesses over a long arc of time. The company was historically valued as a high-flyer justified by mid-teens growth, and now the valuation is approximately 20x FCF. I think the current price offers a very good entry point for long-term mid-teens returns.”
