Diamond Hill Capital, an investment management company, released its Q1 2025 investor letter. Here is what the fund said:

“As volatility picked up sharply in the quarter, we were active in the portfolio — and we anticipate that as volatility continues into Q2, we will likewise attempt to capitalize on compelling opportunities to reposition the portfolio for the period ahead. Among the new positions we initiated in Q1 were long positions in Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:CRM) and Capital One, as well as short positions in Matson and eBay.

Salesforce provides customer relationship management (CRM) technology to companies globally. We believe the company is well-positioned to reverse recently unfavorable cyclicality and capitalize on go-to-market enhancements, price increases and GenAI revenue. As the company evolves its go-to-market strategy, shifts its sales channel mix, consolidates its tech stack and transitions to third-party data centers, we anticipate Salesforce should meaningfully expand margins. Shares were trading at an attractive discount relative to our estimate of intrinsic value, and so we capitalized on the opportunity to initiate a position.”

While we acknowledge the potential of CRM as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
