“Money Life Market Call” with Buffalo Small Cap Fund PM Jamie Cuellar

Overview

Buffalo Funds Small Cap co-portfolio manager Jamie Cuellar, CFA, recently appeared on the “Money Life with Chuck Jaffe” podcast.

During the call, Jamie goes in-depth on small-cap investing and provides an overview of his investment methodology. He also covers the current state of investing in small-cap technology and healthcare companies. Jamie also provides thoughts on the following companies:

  • Pluralsight (NASDAQ: PS)
  • CareDX (NASDAQ: CDNA)
  • II-VI (NASDAQ: IIVI)
  • Ligand Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: LGND)
  • Calix (NASDAQ: CALX)
  • Lovesac (NASDAQ: LOVE)
  • Quidel (NASDAQ: QDEL)

People are accelerating their digital transformation. So there are some stocks within technology that have gotten pretty expensive. High growth software is as an area that we think has gotten really pricey, but we’re still able to find names that are reasonably valued.

Earnings growth is not representative of the fund’s future performance. Cash flow is a measure of the cash produced by the firm in a given period on behalf of equity holders.

Read our view on the economy and key drivers of change in the global equity markets.

OVERVIEW:
As the daily case count of the COVID-19 virus in the U.S. has shifted back into its growth phase, following the reopening of the economy, many regions are re-instituting lockdown measures in response. This could disrupt what has been an improving outlook for consumer sentiment, consumer spending, and unemployment.

In this latest Industry Perspectives, we discuss:

  • In response to the crisis, the avalanche of grants, loans, and government stimulus provided to businesses and individuals, as well as massive bond purchases by the Federal Reserve, has been unprecedented.
  • Significant industry changes are occurring and some businesses might be permanently displaced, however others will see the crisis as an opportunity to start new businesses in categories that did not exist prior to the onset of the global pandemic.
  • The changes adopted over the past several months since “social distancing” has become the norm throughout the world, are hopefully a once-in-a-lifetime, and new “normal” social behaviors, that otherwise would have taken a generation to adopt, are being widely accepted overnight.
