6. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)

Tudor Investment Corp’s Stake: $172 Million  

Since the second quarter of 2011, Tudor Investment Corp has held a small stake in Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL). Barring minor exceptions, most notably in the fourth quarter of 2012, this has hovered around or below the 1 million shares mark. Since the second quarter of 2014, the number of Apple shares owned by Tudor has stayed well below the 1 million mark. Latest filings, submitted at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025, show that the fund owns 633,000 shares in the company, up close to 9% compared to filings for the previous quarter.

Hedge funds are betting that 2026 will be the definitive year for an AI-driven hardware supercycle for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL). Following strong initial sales of the iPhone 17 in late 2025, institutional investors expect the full rollout of Apple Intelligence to force a massive upgrade wave. Funds are particularly interested in the monetization of advanced Siri features and AI-enabled wearables, including the heavily rumored smart glasses slated for late 2026. The Apple Services story also continues to be the primary driver for institutional valuation expansion. In its record-breaking Q1 2026 earnings, Apple’s Services revenue hit nearly $30 billion, representing 14% year-over-year growth.

While we acknowledge the potential of AAPL to grow, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than AAPL and that has 100x upside potential, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.
