10 Stocks That Tanked: Why Larry Robbins’ Top Picks Are Struggling in 2026

Page 1 of 5

In this article, we discuss 10 Stocks That Tanked: Why Larry Robbins’ Top Picks Are Struggling in 2026.

Larry Robbins is the founder, CEO, and portfolio manager of Glenview Capital Management, a New York-based hedge fund he launched in 2000. A protégé of Leon Cooperman at Omega Advisors, Robbins built Glenview into one of the industry’s most prominent Tiger Cub descendants, specifically known for a concentrated, research-intensive approach to growth-at-a-reasonable-price (GARP) investing. While Robbins is a diversified investor, he is most famously associated with the healthcare sector. His investment thesis often centers on predictable businesses, managed care providers, hospital chains, and pharmaceutical distributors, that he believes are undervalued by the broader market.

His conviction is legendary. Robbins is known for maintaining massive positions even during periods of extreme volatility. This was most notable in 2015 when, after a period of significant underperformance, Robbins took the rare step of writing a candid letter to investors apologizing for the losses of the fund and declining his management fee for a period to realign his interests with his partners. While he generally avoids the hostile public theatrics of traditional corporate raiders, he frequently engages with management teams to suggest strategic shifts, such as spin-offs, share repurchases, or improved capital allocation.

Our Methodology

For this article, we selected stocks by combing through the 13F portfolio of Glenview Capital at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025. The stocks were ranked according to the year-to-date decline in share price and the top 10 from this list were filtered out. Data for the hedge fund sentiment surrounding each stock was taken from Insider Monkey’s Q4 2025 database of 1041 elite hedge funds.

Why are we interested in the stocks that hedge funds pile into? The reason is simple: our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds. Our quarterly newsletter’s strategy selects 14 small-cap and large-cap stocks every quarter and has returned 498.7% since May 2014, beating its benchmark by 303 percentage points (see more details here).

Stocks That Tanked: Why Larry Robbins’ Top Picks Are Struggling in 2026

10. Global Payments Inc. (NYSE:GPN)

YTD Decline in Share Price: 10%

Glenview Capital’s Stake: $458 million

Global Payments Inc. (NYSE:GPN) has been a consistent feature in the 13F portfolio of Glenview Capital for the past several years. The fund first disclosed a stake in the company back in the third quarter of 2013. This position comprised just under 3 million shares. By the third quarter of 2014, the fund had grown this stake to over 4.5 million shares. Thereafter, it trimmed the holding and sold it off completely by the middle of 2015. A new position in the firm was opened in the fourth quarter of 2020. This consisted of over 60,000 shares. Filings for the fourth quarter of 2025 show that the fund owned 5.9 million shares in the company, up 15% compared to filings for the previous quarter.

Global Payments Inc. (NYSE:GPN) recently completed the purchase of Worldpay. In the May 6 earnings call, CEO Cameron Bready highlighted that the Worldpay integration was unlocking cross-sell opportunities that were previously inaccessible, specifically in the enterprise restaurant segment. Management expects at least $200 million in revenue synergies from these strategies. However, analysts contend that the firm is viewed by investors as a legacy incumbent that is being squeezed by more agile, tech-first rivals. As payment processing becomes increasingly commoditized, Global Payments may be forced to compete on price to retain its 6 million merchant locations, which could permanently compress its long-term margins despite current synergy targets.

The $250 Trillion AI Hype is Real. A few years from now, you’ll probably wish you’d bought this stock.

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard.

Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences.

At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000.

Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040.

Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:

  • 175 Teslas
  • 107 Amazons
  • 140 Metas
  • 84 Googles
  • 65 Microsofts
  • And 55 Nvidias

And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy.

It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide.

Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential.

How could anything be worth that much?

The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates.

And this breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors.

What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution.

In fact, Verge argues this company’s supercheap AI technology should concern rivals.

Before I reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves.

  • Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education, and addressing climate change.
  • Larry Ellison — through Oracle, is spending billions on Nvidia chips and partnering with Cohere to embed generative AI across Oracle’s cloud and apps.
  • Warren Buffett — not known for tech hype — says this breakthrough could have a ‘hugely beneficial social impact.

When billionaires from Silicon Valley to Wall Street line up behind the same idea — you know it’s worth paying attention to.

Even as we admire what Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft have built, we believe an even greater opportunity lies elsewhere…

But the real story isn’t Nvidia — it’s a much smaller company quietly improving the critical technology that makes this entire revolution possible.

And judging by what I’m hearing from both Silicon Valley insiders and Wall Street veterans…
