Value Options Letter — Free Research

What the great value investorsactually bought last quarter.

We read the latest 13F filings of 37 of the most respected value investors — Buffett, Klarman, Ackman, Tepper, Loeb, Marks, and more — and distilled every new buy, add, trim, and exit into one digest. Positions as of June 30, 2026.

Value Options Letter is a research publication, not an investment adviser. This digest summarizes publicly filed 13F-HR reports. 13F reports show long positions in securities on the SEC’s Section 13(f) list (mostly US-listed stocks, ETFs, and ADRs, plus some convertible notes) as of quarter-end, and are filed up to 45 days after the quarter closes. They do not show short positions, cash, or most non-US holdings. Put and call option positions reported in the filings are excluded from this digest. Buys, adds, trims, and exits are inferred by comparing two quarter-end snapshots, so trades made and reversed within a quarter are not visible. It is a research starting point, not a recommendation to buy or sell any security.

Conviction clusters

Securities that two or more of these managers reported as new positions for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 — held at quarter-end, not held the quarter before. Only new positions worth at least $1 million and 0.05% of that manager’s reported portfolio count; option positions and shares received through spin-offs or other corporate actions are excluded.
