5. Comcast Corp. (NASDAQ:CMCSA)
Number of Hedge Fund Holdings in Q1 2026: 78
Date of Newsletter: February 23rd, 2026
Mark Skousen’s Skousen Report discussed this stock as part of a play ahead of the SpaceX IPO. The rocket company’s Starlink internet service factored into the coverage as Skousen wrote that the firm “has locked in a deal to distribute Starlink’s managed services to Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and military operations.” He also tied it in with the Starlink rollout and remarked that “this company collects a cut of every single contract” that the SpaceX internet service makes in a new market. Skousen went as far as to claim that the firm’s shares “could soar 1,500% or more over the next few years” following the SpaceX IPO.
Gumshoe suspects that this firm could be communications giant Comcast Corp. (NASDAQ:CMCSA). The shares are down by 31% over the past year and by 18% year-to-date. The performance doesn’t appear to be heading in the direction that Skousen would like it to. Comcast Corp. (NASDAQ:CMCSA) is making inroads into cybersecurity as the firm announced on June 11th that it was launching a network-native cybersecurity solution developed for small businesses.
4. EQT Corporation (NYSE:EQT)
Number of Hedge Fund Holdings in Q1 2026: 82
Date of Newsletter: February 18th, 2026
This is another stock part of Porter Stansberry and Luke Lango’s “1776 moment” pitch. The newsletter starts out by pointing that “AI is the most power-hungry technology we’ve ever seen. A single query uses 10 times the electricity of a Google search.” The writers believe that while nuclear energy is the future of powering the AI build out, the bridge to that future is natural gas. This firm “is critical to the future of America’s natural gas industry,” they say. They add that the firm is their “number-one company” in the sector.
Gumshoe believes that this firm is the Pittsburgh-based natural gas company EQT Corporation (NYSE:EQT). The shares are down by 11.6% over the past year and by 3.7% year-to-date. Ratings agency Moody’s discussed the firm on May 30th. It upgraded the firm’s outlook to Positive from Stable and attributed the optimism to EQT Corporation (NYSE:EQT)’s $8 billion debt reduction.
Like the newsletter, CNBC’s Jim Cramer also discussed EQT Corporation (NYSE:EQT), natural gas, and data centers in a recent appearance:
“I think that EQT is really [inaudible]. EQT is really good because it is the data center natural gas. And we want anything data center.”
3. ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:ASML)
Number of Hedge Fund Holdings in Q1 2026: 133
Date of Newsletter: February 11th, 2026
Yet another stock on this list that’s part of the “1776 moment” newsletter by Porter Stansberry and Luke Lango. This newsletter outlines that the reason the 1776 revolution led to economic prosperity was because it features the intersection of politics, economics and technology. It uses this claim to share that the AI revolution is also being driven in a similar way through the teaming up of three partners. These are the “New OPEC,” a major chip manufacturer, and a chip design blueprint provider.
Among these, the ‘OPEC’ is ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:ASML), according to Gumshoe. ASML is the world’s primary manufacturer of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines. These machines are indispensable when it comes to high-end chip manufacturing. The shares are up by 116% over the past year and by 51% year-to-date. Bank of America discussed ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:ASML) on June 22nd as it raised the share price target to $2,345 from $2,268 and kept a Buy rating. BofA remarked that it now expects the company’s show grow its EPS for 2027 and 2028 faster than previously expected.
2. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD)
Number of Hedge Fund Holdings in Q1 2026: 134
Date of Newsletter: February 19th, 2026
This stock is part of a pitch made by George Gilder. In the pitch, he discusses three titans that “are the only companies to successfully develop, build, and ship wafer-scale processors – redefining the limits of AI computing.” Delving deeper, Gilder outlines that the first titan’s “wafer-scale design creates single-chip supercomputers that process data at unprecedented rates.”
Gumshoe’s Thinkolator pings this stock as chip designer Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD). Along with Intel, the firm is the only major designer and seller of x86 chips. Its shares are up by 261% over the past year and by 132% year-to-date. Bernstein discussed Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD)’s shares on June 17th, as per The Fly. It raised the share price target to $600 from $525 and kept an Outperform rating on the shares. The financial firm discussed the impact of server CPU demand on Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD)’s business.
White Falcon Capital Management discussed Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter:
“The top 5 positions for the White Falcon portfolio are precious metal royalty companies, AMD, NFI Group, EPAM, and Nu Holdings. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) designs a broad range of digital semiconductors serving PCs, gaming consoles, and data centers, including the rapidly expanding AI market. Under CEO Lisa Su, the company was pulled back from the brink of bankruptcy and reshaped into a high‑performance computing leader. Over the past decade, AMD has steadily taken market share from Intel and emerged as a credible No. 2 in GPUs behind Nvidia. Given AMD’s volatility, we initiated a position in November 2022 and added to it again in April 2025. Management has guided to approximately $10 in Earnings per share (EPS) for FY2027E and more than $20 in EPS by 2030E. If the company delivers on these targets, then it should be a $400+ stock in a few years which is roughly 75% higher than current levels.”
1. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM)
Number of Hedge Fund Holdings in Q1 2026: 234
Date of Newsletter: February 18th, 2026
The final stock on our list is also from Porter Stansberry and Luke Lango’s “1776 moment” newsletter. As discussed above, the newsletter compares the current AI wave to 1776, the year of the American Revolution. It outlines that a confluence of three factors, namely politics, economy, and technology, led to the prosperity of the United States after the Revolution. Likening the Revolution, with the current AI wave, the newsletter shares that three firms are driving the current AI build out.
Among these, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM) is responsible for manufacturing “90% of the chips needed for the revolution.” The firm is the world’s largest contract manufacturer of advanced chips. Aletheia Capital discussed Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM)’s shares on June 16th. It set the share price target at NT$3,500 and kept a Buy rating on the firm. The research firm remarked that the chip manufacturing company is slated to grow its capital expenditure and wafer capacity.
While we acknowledge the potential of TSM to grow, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
