Investment style
As a well-known value investor, Buckingham pointed out during the market crash of 2020 that it was an excellent time for long-term investors. He bought stocks throughout the selloff in February and March and has been bullish for the long term. However, he was also prepared for further market declines in the short term due to uncertainties about the pandemic.
Buckingham said one of the challenges of buying equities during the pandemic was determining how to model valuations of companies that might not have any revenue for a quarter or two. Instead of earnings, the question became whether the company would make it through the pandemic and survive or thrive despite the problems.
Some of the stocks Buckingham bought in the early days of the pandemic included Lockheed Martin, 3M and Pinnacle West Capital. He also made some swaps, consolidating out of oil service stocks and moving into integrated oil stocks like ExxonMobil and Total.
