<p>Every quarter, I track the 13F filings at the SEC. These are the reports filed by money managers of all stripes that show what the funds owned during the most recent quarter. When you compare the current list to the prior quarter, you come away with a clear picture of what institutions are buying for their customers and themselves.</p>
<p>When I started in the business, it took several days past the deadline to get a copy of the filings. I would go through the current and previous filings with a ruler and a yellow highlighter to track the changes. It was laborious but profitable. Today, the filings are made available instantly, and the portfolios and changes are posted to the internet instantly.</p>
<p>The Thundering Herd of Wall Street and the Instant Experts of the Internet will flock to read the filings of the best-known money managers and investors. Obviously, Warren Buffett gets a lot of attention. So do Carl Icahn and Cathie Wood. Bill Ackman also garners some attention. The number of people who dig deeper to find managers that are doing business away from the spotlights and consistently delivering high returns is small.</p>
<p>The famous investors are famous because they did well over time. However, they now manage billions of dollars, and their opportunity set is limited to large-cap stocks. You can do okay with their stocks, but if you want better than okay, you have to dig deeper.</p>
<p>If you joined the circus of Buffettology and just owned the top 20 holdings of Berkshire Hathaway for the last 10 years, you have earned about half the return of the S&amp;P 500. You did much worse as an Icahn clone investor. A very small portion of Klarman&#8217;s fund is invested in stocks these days as he finds bargains in other asset classes like debt and real estate. The stocks Baupost Fund has purchased have not been big winners for the most part.</p>
<p>If you could make the same derivatives bets Bill Ackman made when he made them, you would have done pretty well. If you just bought the stocks he did, you would have lagged the indexes. If you bought the top 20 stocks held by Donald Smith and Company, you would have crushed the market over the last decade. You would have crushed the market for over 20 years cloning this unknown investment firm.</p>
<p>You would have never owned the most exciting stocks. About half the time, you would have trailed the index in a given calendar year. In the years you outperformed, you outperformed by a massive margin.</p>
<p>This approach is incredibly boring.</p>
<p>Donald Smith and Company focuses on the bottom 10% of the stock market as measured by price-to-book value. They narrow the universe down to the cheapest ones and buy the ones they think have the highest potential for recovery. They have done that for over 40 years with exceptional results. Elections, crashes, melt-ups, and meltdowns have come and gone, and this firm just keeps its head down and buys cheap stocks.</p>
<p>As it turns out, boring is profitable.</p>
<p>Founder Donald Smith passed away in 2019, but his associates have kept the firm going with the same mission. The top 20 holdings contain no tech stocks. They do not even own a single tech stock or uranium miner. Donald Smith and Company owns some insurance companies, energy firms, homebuilders, REITs, and even steel companies.</p>
<p>Using their 13F filings to manage your portfolio or find ideas would have delivered market-beating returns that grew your wealth at a much faster pace than owning an index fund. $10,000 invested in the index with dividends reinvested would have piled up to a total of about $67,300. Shamelessly cloning the Donald Smith and Company portfolio would have given you over $151,000.</p>
<p>Today is the deadline for 13F filings covering holdings on September 30, 2024. The Instant Experts and talking heads will be out discussing what the famous investors have been doing. The key is to focus on what the investors who are still crushing the market are doing. We will talk more about this idea over the next week. For now, here are the top 20 stocks owned by Donald Smith and Company as of the end of the third quarter:</p>

<p>Park Hotels &amp; Resorts Inc. ("Park" or the "Company") (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PK#NYSE">PK</a>) today announced its reinstated and updated full-year 2024 earnings guidance following the recent ratification of labor agreements between operators and labor unions at four of Park's hotels – the 2,860-room Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort (Honolulu), the 604-room Hilton Boston Logan Airport (Boston), the 850-room DoubleTree Hotel Seattle Airport (Seattle) and the 396-room Hilton Seattle Airport &amp; Conference Center (Seattle).</p>
<p>"I am thrilled that our operators, who have been negotiating with the local unions representing the affected employees at the hotels, have successfully negotiated long-term labor agreements with hotel employees, and that hotel operations have returned to normal. We expect demand trends to continue accelerating through the holiday travel season, with minimal impact on 2025 performance," said Thomas J. Baltimore, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.</p>
<p><strong>Operations Update</strong></p>
<p>The Company's preliminary October 2024 Comparable RevPAR is expected to be 1.3% lower compared to October 2023. Excluding Park's four hotels impacted by labor activity, preliminary October 2024 Comparable RevPAR would have improved by approximately 480 basis points to an increase of 3.5% compared to October 2023. The Company's October 2024 performance was supported by double-digit RevPAR gains at its hotels in New Orleans and Miami driven by strong convention calendars, while Park's capital investments continued to boost results at its Key West and Orlando hotels. Additionally, Park's hotels in New York, Boston, and Washington, D.C., saw robust group and business transient demand, contributing 6% of combined Comparable RevPAR growth during the month compared to October 2023.</p>
<p>For the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company expects these four hotels to negatively impact the portfolio's year-over-year Comparable RevPAR growth by 600 to 700 basis points as the properties recover from the lingering business disruption in November and December.</p>
<p><strong>Outlook Reinstatement and Update</strong></p>
<p>The Company previously announced that it was not in a position to update its full-year 2024 outlook in its earnings release dated October 29, 2024 given the uncertainties surrounding then-ongoing negotiations between operators and labor unions at Park hotels and the related impacts on operating results. Due to the ratification of labor agreements covering union employees at the four Park hotels in Hawaii, Seattle and Boston, the Company is reinstating and updating its full-year 2024 financial outlook.</p>
<p>As previously reported, the Company's operations were impacted by labor activity at these four Park hotels beginning in late September 2024, which led to the cancellation of certain group events and overall lower transient volumes at these properties. Accordingly, the Company anticipates its full-year 2024 operating results to be as follows:</p>

</p><p>______________________________________________</p>
<p>(1)&nbsp;Amounts are calculated based on unrounded numbers.<br /><br />&nbsp;</p>
<p>Park's outlook is based in part on the following assumptions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Includes approximately $30 million of Hotel Adjusted EBITDA disruption related to Hurricanes Helene and Milton and labor activity across all four of Park's impacted hotels in the fourth quarter of 2024. The Company expects a significant portion of the group events that were cancelled related to labor activity will be rebooked for a future period. Excluding the impact of hurricanes and labor activity, full-year 2024 Comparable RevPAR growth was expected to be approximately 200 bps higher, or within the range of 3.5% to 4.5%, compared to 2023;</li>
<li>The removal of the Hilton Oakland Airport from Park's Comparable portfolio, which was closed in August 2024 and incurred an EBITDA loss of nearly $4 million for the trailing twelve months, results in increases to full-year 2024 Comparable RevPAR of nearly $2 and full-year 2024 Comparable Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin of 30 bps;</li>
<li>Includes 50 bps of RevPAR and $9 million of Hotel Adjusted EBITDA disruption from renovations at certain of Park's hotels, of which $8 million is associated with renovations at Park's Hawaii hotels;</li>
<li>Adjusted FFO excludes $60 million of default interest and late payment administrative fees associated with default of the $725 million non-recourse CMBS Loan ("SF Mortgage Loan") secured by the 1,921-room Hilton San Francisco Union Square and 1,024-room Parc 55 San Francisco – a Hilton Hotel (collectively, the "Hilton San Francisco Hotels") for full-year 2024, which began in June 2023 and is required to be recognized in interest expense until legal title to the Hilton San Francisco Hotels are transferred;</li>
<li>Fully diluted weighted average shares for the full-year 2024 of 209 million; and</li>
<li>Park's Comparable portfolio as of November 11, 2024, which excludes the Hilton Oakland Airport as noted above, and does not take into account potential future acquisitions, dispositions or any financing transactions, which could result in a material change to Park's outlook.</li>
</ul>
<p>Park's full-year 2024 outlook is based on a number of factors, many of which are outside the Company's control, including uncertainty surrounding macro-economic factors, such as inflation, changes in interest rates and the possibility of an economic recession or slowdown, as well as the assumptions set forth above, all of which are subject to change.</p>
<p><strong>Dividend Update</strong></p>
<p>Park plans to declare its fourth quarter dividend before the end of 2024 and currently expects such dividend to be within a range of $0.60 to $0.66 per share, subject to approval by its Board of Directors, which is expected to be comprised of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share, coupled with an annual top-off dividend of between $0.35 to $0.41 per share. The range of the anticipated top-off component of the dividend is in accordance with Park's typical practice of targeting a 65% to 70% payout ratio of its full year Adjusted FFO per share. At the midpoint of Park's anticipated fourth quarter dividend, the 2024 declared dividends translate to an annualized dividend yield of 9.6% based on recent trading levels.</p>
