Key Points Quarterly-filed Form 13Fs allow investors to track which stocks Wall Street's savviest fund managers are buying and selling. Coatue Management's billionaire boss oversees nearly $40.8 billion in assets under management and has gravitated to industry leaders in the artificial intelligence (AI) arena. Billionaire Philippe Laffont has piled into a trio of high-growth AI stocks that have well-defined competitive advantages. 10 stocks we like better than Alphabet › For the better part of the last seven years, Wall Street has been a stomping ground for wealth creation. The benchmark S&P 500 has rallied by at least 16% in six of the last seven years, with the 2022 bear market being the lone exception. Investors have had plenty to be excited about, including the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI), the advent of quantum computing, the prospect of lower interest rates, record-breaking share buyback activity by S&P 500 companies, and a resilient U.S. economy. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Billionaire money managers have taken notice of these catalysts, with many holding a stake in one or more of America's most influential public companies. We know this because institutional investors with at least $100 million in assets under management are required to file Form 13F with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than 45 calendar days after the end of each quarter. A 13F details for investors the stocks that Wall Street's savviest fund managers bought and sold in the latest quarter. Although newly retired billionaire Warren Buffett often drew the biggest crowd during 13F filing season, billionaire Philippe Laffont of Coatue Management is no slouch, either. Laffont oversaw close to $40.8 billion in assets under management as of the end of September, and he has a knack for outperforming the benchmark S&P 500. Based on the two most recent 13F filings we ...

The Nasdaq Composite entered a bull market last year that is still young by historical standards. The Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC +0.43%) entered a bull market on April 8, 2025. The index has since added 54%, but history says it will climb much higher. Since 1990, the Nasdaq has returned an average of 98% during the first two years of a new bull market. What does that imply? The Nasdaq closed at 15,268 on April 8, 2025. The index will soar 98% to 30,231 by April 8, 2027, if its performance matches the historical average. Past results are never a guarantee of future returns, but investors should consider buying two Nasdaq stocks: Meta Platforms (META +2.10%) and Robinhood Markets (HOOD +0.01%). Among 72 analysts, Meta has a median target price of $820 per share. That implies 25% upside from its current share price of $658. Among 28 analysts, Robinhood has a median target price of $155 per share. That implies 45% upside from its current share price of $107. Here's what investors should know about Meta Platforms and Robinhood. Meta Platforms: 25% upside implied by the median target price Meta Platforms owns three of the four most popular social media networks as measured by monthly active users. And Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp collectively reach 3.5 billion people daily. That scale creates a network effect: Creators follow users, users follow creators, and advertisers follow both. That dynamic has made Meta the second-largest adtech company. Malik Ahmed Khan at Morningstar recently wrote, "Meta is a digital advertising juggernaut poised to increase its market share." His conviction is partly due to the company's success with artificial intelligence (AI). Content recommendation and ranking systems powered by machine learning have improved user engagement and advertising conversion rates, which has strengthened demand. In prepared remarks, CFO Susan Li told analysts ad impressions increased 14% in the third quarter. She also said the average price per ad inc...

Key Points Historically, the Nasdaq Composite has gained an average of 98% in the first two years of a bull market; the index has added 58% since the current bull market started last April. Meta Platforms' investments in artificial intelligence have improved ad performance across its social media properties, allowing the company to charge more per impression. Robinhood's mobile-first design and broad product portfolio appeals to young investors, and that advantage should lead to market share gains as its user base matures. 10 stocks we like better than Meta Platforms › The Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) entered a bull market on April 8, 2025.

Bayern Munich have confirmed they are in talks to extend Harry Kane’s contract. The England captain joined from Tottenham in 2023 on a deal to the end of next season and secured a long-awaited first major trophy when Bayern won the Bundesliga last May. He has been the Bundesliga’s top scorer twice and, with 21 goals in 19 Bundesliga games this season, could chase down Robert Lewandowski’s single-season record of 41 goals. “We’re talking and it’s clear to everyone that there has to be a decision at some stage,” Bayern’s board member for sport, Max Eberl, said at a league event. “We’re waiting for an answer from [the defender Dayot Upamecano] and we’re talking with Harry.” Kane has scored 119 goals in 126 games for Bayern — breaking longstanding German records along the way — and has 34 in 30 games for the club this season. Bayern’s chief executive, Jan-Christian Dreesen, indicated talks could move at a relaxed pace. “Harry has great confidence in us and he feels comfortable in Munich,” he said. “He and his family are settled in. Therefore, we’ve got absolutely no reason to rush.” Barcelona have made Kane their first-choice target to replace Lewandowski, whose contract expires in June. A clause in Kane’s contract would allow him to leave for £57m in the summer.
