Greenhaven Road Capital stated the following regarding PAR Technology Corporation (NYSE:PAR) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:

"We still own PAR Technology Corporation (NYSE:PAR) and KKR, but they are not currently top-five holdings, so we will devote more space to the new investments. My view on PAR remains that there is a long runway for growth and that the company has inflected to EBITDA profitability. If our view is variant, it is in two places: analysts are significantly underestimating 2027 EBITDA and underestimating PAR's chances of winning McDonald's. KKR remains a great business. I believe the private credit scare will pass and AUM will march higher, driven by the maturation of existing strategies and the development of the high-net-worth channel."
