“We were early on Western Digital Corp (WDC) and we still own Silicon Motion (SIMO). Both benefitted from the shortage in memory caused by strong demand from AI data centers. But we are not blind to the cyclical nature of those businesses, and we have been early in taking some chips off the table.”
Silicon Motion Technology Corporation - June 2026
“The majority of the outperformance can be attributed to Silicon Motion, which has more than tripled over the first half of the year, based on excellent business fundamentals which have been truly outstanding in every area of their business.”

“Silicon Motion Technology (Information Technology, Special Situation) — Held Silicon Motion benefited from improving semiconductor fundamentals, normalizing customer inventories, and stronger expectations for storage-related demand. Its differentiated controller technology positions the company to benefit from both a cyclical recovery and longer-term growth in data and storage requirements. We maintained our position.”

“As noted above, Direct AI beneficiaries and a few other stocks in the portfolio rose sharply and in a number of instances prices raced ahead of fundamentals compressing future expected returns. We exited several positions including Credo Technology (CRDO), Semtech (SMTC), Nova Limited (NVMI), Universal Technical Institute (UTI) and Comfort Systems (FIX), entirely, and trimmed others, such as Modine (MOD), Forgent Power Solutions (FPS), Onto Innovation (ONTO), TTM Technologies (TTMI), and Carpenter Technology Corp (CRS). We reinvested that capital in several areas. First, as noted above, we bumped up or initiated positions in stocks in bucket #2 (AI Insulated) such as Neutron Holdings Inc (LIME - i.e., Lime e-scooters and e-bikes). Porch (PRCH), our largest position, is an example of an 4 underappreciated beneficiary: we believe its proprietary home data should become more valuable for underwriting home owner's insurance as AI capabilities improve. Second, we shifted some capital to other AI beneficiaries where we believe meaningful upside remains underpriced (e.g., Silicon Motion (SIMO) and Generac (GNRC).”

“Silicon Motion (SIMO) Price (12/31/24): $54.05 Market Cap (12/31/24): $1.8 billion Stock Loss (2024): −11.8% Portfolio Weight: 24.4% Description Silicon Motion designs and sells controllers which manage the NAND flash memory ubiquitous in modern computing. Wherever there is NAND flash, there must be a controller, often one from Silicon Motion. SIMO is an ADR (American Depository Receipt) trading on the NASDAQ. 2024 — Growth Across the Board We just recently discussed at some length in our third quarter letter about Silicon Motion’s strengthening industry position, increasing market share, and growing revenue and margins. Over 2024, revenue has grown 25%+, gross margin has expanded 500 basis points, and net income has about doubled. We will not repeat our points from there at length. We will simply suffice with saying that the future looks even brighter, with continued growth in their core market segments as well as significant growth from their entry into new market segments. Silicon Motion’s entry into the high-end PC market with their PCIe 5.0 controllers is off to a very strong start with major design wins. In fact, Silicon Motion has stated that based on their present design win pipeline, they expect to attain about 50% market share in the high-end PC segment over the next few years, from their present standing start. And their MonTitan enterprise controllers for AI and data centers have already garnered multiple Tier 1 customer wins, with more expected to come, in what is again a greenfield opportunity for the company. Conclusion We continue to believe that Silicon Motion is an amazing deal at these price levels, and we believe that as they continue to grow revenue, margins, and profits, the market will eventually cotton on, particularly as 30.00 40.00 50.00 60.00 70.00 80.00 90.00 100.00 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec 2024 Portfolio Update Focus Capital Management Research Position Paper their growth continues to lay to rest the market’s fear of insourcing.”
