Peter Mantas on Opportunities in Tech, Industrials, and Healthcare

We had the pleasure of speaking with Peter Mantas, a general partner of Toronto-based investment firm Logos LP, on August 10, 2020.

Logos LP has posted strong investment performance in 2020, driven by a thesis Peter had articulated at Intelligent Investing in Crisis Mode 2020, hosted by MOI Global, on March 18. Peter had argued that the sharp selloff presented a rare opportunity to buy into Internet-based software leaders that would dominate their respective segments for a long time to come. In the March session, Peter highlighted ideas including Activision Blizzard, Alteryx, ServiceNow, The Trade Desk, and Zscaler.

In his latest conversation with MOI Global, Peter reflects on the strong performance of the ideas discussed in March and shares his favorite investments going forward. He considers some of the software leaders as having gotten “ahead of themselves” in the near term, while select others have been indiscriminately sold off in recent days and may present attractive opportunities.

Peter also shares a new thesis on cyclical industrial companies, some of which remain highly neglected ahead of potential business normalization as the world moves past the worst of COVID. Peter reveals why Logos LP finds compelling value in Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE: HII).

Finally, Peter discusses his interest in innovative healthcare companies, some of which have suffered due to COVID but maintain strong business franchises that should create significant value over the long term. He highlights Inmode (Nasdaq: INMD) and Renalytix (Nasdaq: RNLX).
