A Bloomberg report dated September 20 suggests that elite hedge funds went on a buying spree as the S&P 500 declined 5% last week in light of the August inflation numbers. Data from Goldman Sachs indicates that these funds were betting against the broader market by pouring into ETFs. Accounting for both long and short positions, the total gross trading flow of hedge funds climbed for a fifth consecutive week, which is the biggest notional boost since 2017. Morgan Stanley data indicates that funds raised their bearish calls but did not trim long positions, and JPMorgan Chase’s hedge fund data shows that funds were net buyers. Given the stronger hedge fund performance lately, JPMorgan noted that funds are becoming more constructive. The JPMorgan analyst team wrote in a note:

“If performance were to deteriorate then perhaps the risk of further selling could increase, but for now it seems some hedge funds might be able to play a bit more offense than they were able to earlier this year.”

It is prudent to look for the moves of hedge funds to understand the market direction and investor sentiment better. This is why Insider Monkey regularly tracks the quarterly movements of elite hedge funds. Since they have massive teams, comprising the best talent, creating stock portfolios and investment baskets for clients, it is interesting to track their strategies or replicate them.

Here is what Baron Funds specifically said about Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) in its Q2 2022 investor letter:

“Then, there is the case of Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC). A blue-chip tech champion with a market capitalization of over $500 billion in early 2000, the stock was trading at a P/E multiple of 42. It was a fast-growing company whose stock price and multiple declined more or less in line with its peers. However, unlike Google, Intel’s net income has grown from $7.3 billion in 1999 to $19.9 billion in 2021, a compounded annual growth rate of just 4.7%. Its growth from the dot com era has not proven to be durable, and Intel has yet to trade at the price it attained in 1999.”

7. Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA)

Percentage of Searches: 0.40%

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 72

Elon Musk’s Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) is one of the most searched stocks on Insider Monkey. On September 21, Michael Burry, the celebrated investor of The Big Short fame and founder of Scion Asset Management, reviewed Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) yet again. This happened after Tesla’s megapack battery was involved in a fire accident that led to closing a part of a prominent California highway for a few hours. Burry’s fund sold its Tesla stake in Q3 2021, and he said he would short Tesla if he still owned the stock. He has previously placed short bets of more than half a billion dollars against Tesla.

On September 20, Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas noted that Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) is up against its biggest ever competition from domestic Chinese EV companies. However, he added that Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) will get rid of its “peak China” dependency over the next year on the back of higher capacity in the U.S. and Europe, which will allow far superior levels of vertical integration. The rest of this decade will see a swift industrialization of Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA)’s NAFTA and EU supply chains, which will naturally dilute China’s role in Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA)’s story, said the analyst. He maintained an Overweight rating and a $383 price target on the stock.

Among the hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey, 72 hedge funds were bullish on Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) at the end of June 2022, compared to 80 funds in the last quarter. Cathie Wood’s ARK Investment Management is a prominent Tesla stakeholder, with 1.4 million shares worth over $1 billion.

Here is what Grantham Mayo Van Otterloo & Co. LLC had to say about Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) in its Q1 2022 investor letter:

“To put the demand growth for clean energy materials into perspective, let’s look at Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA). At its Battery Day last year, Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) projected three terawatt hours of lithium-ion battery capacity needed in 2030 for the EVs and storage they expect to produce. To reach this target, Tesla alone would gobble up approximately 75% of the world’s current nickel production and four times the world’s current lithium production. These numbers are astounding enough, but when one considers that EVs currently represent just 15% of global nickel demand and about 45% of lithium demand and that Tesla will likely be producing only a small proportion of the world’s EVs in 2030, the implications are staggering. Clean energy materials companies will make a lot more money in the decades to come than they ever have both because they will be selling a lot more metric tons of material and because there are certain to be shortages where supply can’t keep up with the rapidly growing demand.”

6. NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)

Percentage of Searches: 0.40%

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 84

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA), the American semiconductor giant, is another stock on the radar of investors who often frequent the Insider Monkey website. NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock gained over 3% on September 21, as its CEO Jensen Huang announced that he sees a “large space” for Nvidia products in the Chinese semiconductor market. He further said that the US government’s limitations on NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)’s activities should not have a meaningful impact on performance. The company also announced multiple new products at its yearly conference, such as a high-end RTX and GeForce GPUs.

On September 20, Oppenheimer analyst Rick Schafer maintained his Outperform rating and $250 price target on NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) after the keynote address by CEO Jensen Huang. The company’s GeForce 40-series seems ready for a strong launch, and he thinks that gaming is de-risked, even though the mixed corporate data presents possible risk to its data center division, the analyst told investors. He added that NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)’s present headwinds are temporary, and he believes that its growth thesis in artificial intelligence is on the right track.

Elite hedge funds pulled out of NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) in the second quarter of 2022. The number of long NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) positions declined to 84 at the end of June 2022 from 102 in the prior quarter. Ken Fisher’s Fisher Asset Management is the biggest position holder in the company, with 7.6 million shares worth $1.15 billion.

Like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG), and Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META), NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is one of the most searched stocks on the Insider Monkey platform.

Here is what Baron Fifth Avenue Growth Fund has to say about NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) in its Q2 2022 investor letter:

“At the company-specific level, there was a broad correction across the entire portfolio. While four of our holdings contributed to performance, the contribution to absolute returns was less than 100bps combined, as unfortunately none of them were large enough to move the needle. We had 16 investments detracting over 100bps each with NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA), our second largest detractor, costing the Fund 254bps.

NVIDIA’s stock was hit even harder, down 44.4%, impacted by concerns over the health of the consumer, dramatic declines in crypto, and COVID-related lockdowns in China. Despite the sell-off and the increased near-term volatility in its gaming business, NVIDIA’s revenues grew 46% year-over-year with 48% operating margins, driven by continued strength in its data center business as companies across industries adopt AI and ML…” (Click here to see the full text)

AI, Tariffs, Nuclear Power: One Undervalued Stock Connects ALL the Dots (Before It Explodes!)

Published on June 23, 2025 at by Inan Dogan, PhD

Artificial intelligence is the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime. The time to invest in groundbreaking AI is now, and this stock is a steal!

AI is eating the world—and the machines behind it are ravenous.

Each ChatGPT query, each model update, each robotic breakthrough consumes massive amounts of energy. In fact, AI is already pushing global power grids to the brink.

Wall Street is pouring hundreds of billions into artificial intelligence—training smarter chatbots, automating industries, and building the digital future. But there’s one urgent question few are asking:

Where will all of that energy come from?

AI is the most electricity-hungry technology ever invented. Each data center powering large language models like ChatGPT consumes as much energy as a small city. And it’s about to get worse.

Even Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, issued a stark warning:

“The future of AI depends on an energy breakthrough.”

Elon Musk was even more blunt:

“AI will run out of electricity by next year.”

As the world chases faster, smarter machines, a hidden crisis is emerging behind the scenes. Power grids are strained. Electricity prices are rising. Utilities are scrambling to expand capacity.

And that’s where the real opportunity lies…

One little-known company—almost entirely overlooked by most AI investors—could be the ultimate backdoor play. It’s not a chipmaker. It’s not a cloud platform. But it might be the most important AI stock in the US owns critical energy infrastructure assets positioned to feed the coming AI energy spike.

As demand from AI data centers explodes, this company is gearing up to profit from the most valuable commodity in the digital age: electricity.

The “Toll Booth” Operator of the AI Energy Boom

It owns critical nuclear energy infrastructure assets, positioning it at the heart of America’s next-generation power strategy.
It’s one of the only global companies capable of executing large-scale, complex EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) projects across oil, gas, renewable fuels, and industrial infrastructure.
It plays a pivotal role in U.S. LNG exportation—a sector about to explode under President Trump’s renewed “America First” energy doctrine.

Trump has made it clear: Europe and U.S. allies must buy American LNG.

And our company sits in the toll booth—collecting fees on every drop exported.

But that’s not all…

As Trump’s proposed tariffs push American manufacturers to bring their operations back home, this company will be first in line to rebuild, retrofit, and reengineer those facilities.

AI. Energy. Tariffs. Onshoring. This One Company Ties It All Together.

While the world is distracted by flashy AI tickers, a few smart investors are quietly scooping up shares of the one company powering it all from behind the scenes.

AI needs energy. Energy needs infrastructure.

And infrastructure needs a builder with experience, scale, and execution.

This company has its finger in every pie—and Wall Street is just starting to notice.

Wall Street is noticing this company also because it is quietly riding all of these tailwinds—without the sky-high valuation.

While most energy and utility firms are buried under mountains of debt and coughing up hefty interest payments just to appease bondholders…

This company is completely debt-free.

In fact, it’s sitting on a war chest of cash—equal to nearly one-third of its entire market cap.

It also owns a huge equity stake in another red-hot AI play, giving investors indirect exposure to multiple AI growth engines without paying a premium.

And here’s what the smart money has started whispering…

The Hedge Fund Secret That’s Starting to Leak Out

This stock is so off-the-radar, so absurdly undervalued, that some of the most secretive hedge fund managers in the world have begun pitching it at closed-door investment summits.

They’re sharing it quietly, away from the cameras, to rooms full of ultra-wealthy clients.

Why? Because excluding cash and investments, this company is trading at less than 7 times earnings.

And that’s for a business tied to:

The AI infrastructure supercycle
The onshoring boom driven by Trump-era tariffs
A surge in U.S. LNG exports
And a unique footprint in nuclear energy—the future of clean, reliable power

You simply won’t find another AI and energy stock this cheap… with this much upside.

This isn’t a hype stock. It’s not riding on hope.

It’s delivering real cash flows, owns critical infrastructure, and holds stakes in other major growth stories.

This is your chance to get in before the rockets take off!

Disruption is the New Name of the Game: Let’s face it, complacency breeds stagnation.

AI is the ultimate disruptor, and it’s shaking the foundations of traditional industries.

The companies that embrace AI will thrive, while the dinosaurs clinging to outdated methods will be left in the dust.

As an investor, you want to be on the side of the winners, and AI is the winning ticket.

The Talent Pool is Overflowing: The world’s brightest minds are flocking to AI.

From computer scientists to mathematicians, the next generation of innovators is pouring its energy into this field.

This influx of talent guarantees a constant stream of groundbreaking ideas and rapid advancements.

By investing in AI, you’re essentially backing the future.

The future is powered by artificial intelligence, and the time to invest is NOW.

Don’t be a spectator in this technological revolution.

Dive into the AI gold rush and watch your portfolio soar alongside the brightest minds of our generation.

This isn’t just about making money – it’s about being part of the future.

Marc’s been a trader, stockbroker, and analyst. He was the head of the options department at a major brokerage firm and is a sought-after expert for CNBC, Fox Business, Barron’s, and Yahoo! Finance…

But what Marc’s most known for is his award-winning stock-rating system. Which determines whether a stock could shoot sky-high in the next three to six months… or come crashing down.

And is still used by hundreds of banks, hedge funds, and brokerages to track the billions of dollars flowing in and out of stocks each day.

He’s used this system to survive nine bear markets… create three new indices for the Nasdaq… and even predict the brutal bear market of 2022, 90 days in advance.
