Industrials are the "it" sector of the stock market for hedge funds.

Industrials are the "it" sector of the stock market for hedge funds. Goldman Sachs analyzed regulatory filings from more than 1,000 hedge funds – with gross equity positions totaling $4.4 trillion to start the year – and found that most funds are heavily overweight industrials. The bank said hedge funds entered 2026 overweight the sector by more than 7.34 percentage points relative to the Russell 3000 , a record. "Hedge funds rotated toward cyclical sectors during 4Q 2025. Funds increased overweights in Industrials by +371 bp, the largest change of any sector," Goldman strategist Ben Snider wrote. That allocation has paid off thus far. The S & P 500 industrials sector is up 14.2% year to date. That makes it the third-best performer in that time. Over the past 12 months, industrials are up a whopping 31.5%, making the sector the biggest gainer within the benchmark over that period. Goldman Sachs also found the industrial stocks that hedge funds bought into the most, looking at the ones with the largest net position increased quarter over quarter. T1 Energy , which makes electrical components and equipment, saw 36 hedge funds increase positions in the fourth quarter of 2025 from the third quarter. Shares are down 7% year to date, but they have soared more than 250% over the past 12 months. In the past three months, the stock is also up more than 128%. Carrier Global was also among the most popular industrial picks among hedge funds, with 33 adding to their positions. The stock has climbed more than 21% in 2026. Other popular industrials among hedge funds include ITT , Bloom Energy and Everus Construction .

Khosrork Lucid Group ( LCID ) is set to post fourth-quarter earnings on Tuesday, after markets close. Wall Street expects the California-based EV maker to post EPS of -$2.67 on revenue of $459.54 million, implying a rise of 96% during the quarter. Demand for electric vehicles in the U.S. has seen some weakness due to tariffs and a tough economic environment, leading to companies including Lucid and Tesla to slash prices to get more customers. Recently, Lucid has also reportedly laid off 12% of its U.S. workforce to improve profitability, even though it ramped up production and deliveries in Q4. The company also plans to launch a new midsize crossover on its Atlas platform while continuing to scale Gravity output and improve unit economics in 2026. The company’s stock has lost over 9% so far this year, compared to the 0.9% rise in the broader S&P 500 Index. Seeking Alpha analysts and Wall Street are cautious and rated the stock a Hold. Seeking Alpha’s Quant ratings consider it a Strong Sell. Stifel analyst Stephen Gengaro said headwinds include improved production that still leaves Lucid in “prove-it” mode; uncertainty around the timing and path to achieving positive gross margin and EBITDA; pressure from elevated interest rates on sales and pricing; continued high cash burn; and U.S. EV policy changes that weigh on both Lucid and the broader EV sector. A recent Seeking Alpha analysis also noted that even though Lucid is not expected to turn the corner on profitability anytime soon, still, “the company’s upfront investments begin to pay off, deliveries and revenue continue to surge, and new partnerships are announced, it seems as though the firm is starting to stand on solid ground.” Over the last one year, Lucid has beaten EPS estimates 50% of the time and has beaten revenue estimates 25% of the time. Over the last three months, EPS estimates have seen no upward revisions , compared to three downward revisions, while revenue estimates have been revised upwards once ...
