The enterprise software landscape of 2026 is defined by a profound tension between the disruptive potential of generative artificial intelligence and the enduring resilience of mission-critical systems of record. At the epicenter of this conflict is Constellation Software Inc. (TSX: CSU), a Canadian-based holding company that has spent three decades refining a decentralized model of capital allocation that many now refer to as the "Berkshire of Software". As the organization navigates its first year under the leadership of President Mark Miller following the resignation of legendary founder Mark Leonard, the market is grappling with a fundamental question, Can a model built on the acquisition of thousands of small, niche software businesses survive an era where AI promises to commoditize code? Analysis of the firm’s operational trajectory, financial architecture, and recent strategic acquisitions suggests that the "Architecture of Permanence" is not only intact but is being fortified by the very technological shifts that skeptics feared would destroy it.

LA NUEVA MENTE DEL MERCADO: CÓMO LA IA ESTÁ REVOLUCIONANDO LAS FINANZAS DEL COMPORTAMIENTO
Artificial intelligence is a double-edged sword in the world of finance. It offers an incredible toolkit to diagnose and correct our most ingrained behavioral flaws, potentially making investors more successful. Yet it also introduces novel risks by becoming an actor in the market itself, complete with its own systematic machine biases and the frightening prospect of algorithmic herding. The line between human and machine decision-making in finance is blurring, creating a new market ecosystem defined by their interaction. The new market mind is here, and whether it leads to a more rational market or new forms of systemic fragility will depend entirely on the behavioral wisdom we embed in its code.

CAPM, ¿SÍ O NO?
El Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) es, probablemente, el modelo más influyente —y cuestionado— de la historia de las finanzas modernas. Su fórmula, tan simple como potente, ha servido durante décadas como punto de partida para valorar activos, estimar el coste del equity y evaluar carteras. Pero hoy, más de 60 años después de su nacimiento, las preguntas se acumulan: ¿sirve todavía? ¿Debe seguir enseñándose en escuelas de negocios? ¿Es útil o solo elegante?
When an AI Outperforms 93% of Fund Managers!
For decades, financial theory has rested on a central axiom: public information is free, symmetric, and quickly incorporated into prices. Under this premise, investors shouldn’t be able to generate sustained returns using data available to everyone. However, a recent study by Ed deHaan, Chanseok Lee, Miao Liu, and Suzie Noh (Stanford and Boston College, 2025) challenges this idea with a compelling experiment: an AI that, relying solely on public data, systematically improves the portfolios of thousands of real-world funds.
EBITDA…¿SÍ O NO?
Durante décadas, el EBITDA ha sido el atajo favorito de muchos analistas para estimar la rentabilidad operativa de una empresa. Pero su uso generalizado ha generado también graves distorsiones: ignora la inversión necesaria para sostener el negocio, puede inflar la percepción de liquidez, y es fácilmente manipulable...
ROC, ROIC AND ROE by DAMODARAN
La clave para entender la creación de valor en una empresa no está solo en medir cuánto gana, sino en cuánto gana en relación con lo que invierte y con el coste de esa inversión. Las métricas tradicionales como ROIC, ROE y ROC, aunque populares, deben ajustarse cuidadosamente para eliminar sesgos contables y reflejar fielmente la realidad económica.
Contrarians by Choice, Herds by Design
"Be a contrarian." It is the whispered mantra in trading rooms, financial forums, and among many investors who take pride in it. It sounds sophisticated, daring, and hints at the secret to outperforming the market. It evokes images of lone wolves bravely defying conventional wisdom to uncover hidden gems and achieve extraordinary returns. But is this contrarian ideal a true reflection of market reality? Or is it, instead, a more complex and paradoxical dance between individual conviction and collective influence? Every investment decision is simultaneously a contrarian act and an adherence to the herd. Let’s explore this seemingly contradictory truth.
QUALITY GROWTH INVESTING: DOES IT WORK?
Drawing on the principles outlined in Peter Seilern's Only the Best Will Do, it seems evident that quality growth investing represents a refined and resilient approach to wealth creation. By focusing on companies with sustainable competitive advantages, robust financial health, and consistent growth trajectories, investors can achieve superior returns while mitigating risks inherent in volatile markets. Quality growth investing has shown (at least in the last 5 years) that true investing success lies in consistently backing the best.
