On November 14, Reuters reported that big hedge funds on Wall Street reduced their investments in the “Magnificent Seven” stocks in the third quarter. According to regulatory filings, the hedge funds have instead taken new positions in companies that focus on application software, e-commerce, and payments companies.
Many hedge funds also cut back on their holdings in well-known healthcare and energy companies during the third quarter, which ended on September 30.
This marks a shift from the previous quarter. In the second quarter, many more hedge funds were much more optimistic about large tech companies. This optimism was supported by a surge in AI valuations. However, those high valuations have started to drop.
During the third quarter, the market generally performed well. The S&P 500 gained almost 8%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 index went up by about 9% during the quarter.
Lone Pine Capital and Tiger Global reduced their stakes in Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) by 34.8% and 62.6%, respectively. Funds like Bridgewater and Coatue also cut their stakes in NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA).
Bridgewater had a strong performance during the first nine months of 2025, outperforming other top funds. However, in the third quarter, Bridgewater cut its stake in NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) by nearly two-thirds, leaving it with just 2.5 million shares. The fund also reduced its exposure to other tech companies like Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL). Instead, Bridgewater increased its investments in application software and payments companies like Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:ADBE), Dynatrace, Inc. (NYSE:DT), and Etsy, Inc. (NYSE:ETSY).
These insights come from 13-F filings, which hedge funds and other institutional investors file at the end of every quarter.
