Financial Services Association, Feb. 18 (Editor Xia Junxiong) The US stock position reports for the fourth quarter of last year (Form 13F) have all been released. With the sharp rise in the US stock market in Q4, the holding size of the world's top ten hedge funds all increased compared to the previous quarter.
Among the major hedge funds' heavy stocks, technology stocks are the absolute protagonists. This is not difficult to understand, so$Microsoft (MSFT.US)$,$Apple (AAPL.US)$,$NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$,$Alphabet-C (GOOG.US)$,$Amazon (AMZN.US)$,$Meta Platforms (META.US)$The Big Seven, represented by Tesla (TSLA.US), was the core driving force behind the rise in the US stock market last year.
Since this year, most of the Big Seven companies have continued their gains, but there are signs that Apple and Tesla are falling behind, especially$Tesla (TSLA.US)$The stock has fallen by about 20% so far this year, and its market capitalization has been shared by pharmaceutical giants$Eli Lilly and Co (LLY.US)$The company surpassed.
The increase in Eli Lilly's market capitalization is mainly due to investors betting that sales of its novel weight loss drugs will continue to grow rapidly. Some analysts believe that Eli Lilly should replace Tesla in the top seven US stocks.
In terms of the buying operations of the top ten hedge funds, nearly half have bought Nvidia. As one of the biggest beneficiaries of the rise of artificial intelligence, Nvidia's stock price surged more than twice last year, and the crazy rise continues. The stock has risen by nearly 50% since this year, surpassing Google and Amazon in market capitalization to become the third-largest listed company in the US stock market, after Microsoft and Apple.
In addition to Nvidia, Amazon, Apple,$Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM.US)$Companies such as these are also key buying targets for major hedge funds.
In terms of sales operations, tech giants are also key targets. Given the impressive performance of technology stocks last year, this may be because some funds have begun to make profits.
It's worth mentioning that all three hedge funds have sold Activision Blizzard. This is because with regulatory approval, Microsoft completed the acquisition of Activision Blizzard in October last year, and favorable implementation prompted the withdrawal of the fund.
The following are the top ten hedge funds in Q4, which are the top five biggest stocks to buy and sell. The data comes from the third-party website Whalewisdom, and the rankings are in no particular order.
