Has value investing really gone out of style, or is it quietly setting up for its biggest comeback in decades? In this in-depth conversation, Sven Carlin, of Modern @Value-Investing with Sven Carlin, joins Maggie Lake to discuss why today’s markets look overvalued, how investors are being lulled into complacency by momentum and hype, and why focusing on fundamentals, dividends, and cash flow still beats speculation over time. Carlin explains why he avoids chasing returns in expensive large-cap tech and instead looks for “boring” businesses that generate steady cash flows regardless of market conditions. He shares how he builds a watchlist of quality companies with low valuations, strong balance sheets, and management teams that deliver on long-term promises, what he calls the essence of real investing, allowing wealth to compound over decades and different market cycles.
