Billionaire Investor Stan Druckenmiller and Insiders Are Piling Into These 11 Stocks

In this article, we will take a detailed look at Billionaire Investor Stan Druckenmiller and Insiders Are Piling Into These 11 Stocks. For a quick overview of such stocks, read our article Billionaire Investor Stan Druckenmiller and Insiders Are Piling Into These 5 Stocks.

Billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller is one of the most revered investors in the Wall Street. Druckenmiller, worth over $9 billion, is going long on AI as he believes AI could be as big and transformative as the internet. In June last year, the billionaire said that he does not believe AI is a bubble and that’s why AI was dominating his long portfolio. Druckenmiller almost always thinks long term and that’s the open secret behind his success. Earlier this year, in an interview with How Leaders Lead with David Novak, Druckenmiller advised investors never to invest in the present and instead keep the next 18-24 months in mind and try to imagine how the world would be in the future. These thoughts are reflected in the billionaire’s portfolio as well. Duquesne Capital, which Druckenmiller founded in 1981, bought a new position in NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) in the last quarter of 2022, buying over 582,000 shares. Back then the contemporary generative AI boom was just getting started. Nvidia was trading at around $146 as of December 30, 2022. Today the stock is hovering around $926. As of the end of the last quarter of 2023 Duquesne Capital had a $306 million stake in the GPU company.  Nvidia is among the top picks of the fund, in addition to other big names like Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE:LLY).

Druckenmiller Avoids “Lazy Longs”

Druckenmiller isn’t a huge fan of portfolio diversification. He said during the interview that if you really believe in a company, you’d take “massive” positions in it instead of putting your money in hundreds of companies. He said legendary investors like Warren Buffett, Carl Icahn and George Soros invest in a handful of companies they really like and believe in. Druckenmiller said instead of having “lazy longs” in your portfolio, if you put your money in just a few companies, you won’t get careless in the investing game.

Methodology

In this article we decided to see which stocks in Druckenmiller’s portfolio are also seeing buying activity from corporate insiders. For that we scanned Druckenmiller’s Q4’2023 portfolio and picked 11 stocks that saw insider buying activity over the past few months. But why is it important to keep tabs on hedge fund and insider activity? Hedge funds’ top 10 consensus stock picks outperformed the S&P 500 Index by more than 140 percentage points over the last 10 years (see the details here).

11. Abcellera Biologics Inc. (NASDAQ:ABCL)

Billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller’s Stake: $3,767,000

Canadian biotechnology company Abcellera Biologics Inc. (NASDAQ:ABCL) ranks 11th in our list of the stocks billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller and insiders are buying. John Montalbano, a director at Abcellera Biologics Inc.’s (NASDAQ:ABCL) board, bought 10,000 shares of Abcellera Biologics Inc. (NASDAQ:ABCL) on November 8, 2023, at $4.46 per share. The transaction came just two days after the director had bought 20,000 shares of Abcellera Biologics Inc. (NASDAQ:ABCL) at $4.64 per share. Since the November 6 transaction till date the stock has gained about 2.68%.

As of the end of the fourth quarter of 2023, billionaire Druckenmiller had a $3.8 million stake in Abcellera Biologics Inc. (NASDAQ:ABCL) via his hedge fund. A total of 15 hedge funds out of the 933 funds tracked by Insider Monkey had stakes in Abcellera Biologics Inc. (NASDAQ:ABCL) as of the end of last year.

In addition to ABCL, Druckenmiller also likes NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA), Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE:LLY).

10. Charles Schwab Corp (NYSE:SCHW)

Billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller’s Stake: $4,933,000

Charles Schwab Corp (NYSE:SCHW) is one of the stocks in billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller’s portfolio that saw insider buying. On August 17, Charles A. Ruffel, a director at the financial services company, loaded up on 833 shares of Charles Schwab Corp (NYSE:SCHW) at $60.55 per share. Since then the stock has gained about 20%.

Sequoia Fund stated the following regarding The Charles Schwab Corporation (NYSE:SCHW) in its fourth quarter 2023 investor letter:

“By way of example, consider the following holdings: Rolls Royce, The Charles Schwab Corporation (NYSE:SCHW), Elevance Health, Credit Acceptance, Capital One Financial, Liberty Broadband, and Ashtead. Each of these companies trades for a low double-digit, or lower, multiple of our estimate of normalized earnings per share, yet each of them is capable of compounding earnings per share at a double-digit rate. At year-end 2023, these holdings accounted for almost a third of the Fund’s capital. Additions in 2023 included Liberty Broadband, Charles Schwab, Elevance, and Capital One Financial.

Charles Schwab is notable because the business and the stock both had a challenging year. The regional banking panic in the spring of 2023 created an opportunity for us to add to our position below $50 per share. Rising interest rates have impacted the business in ways both predictable and unpredictable, but the net result has been a crimping of earnings that will likely persist for another year or two. Critically, we do not believe any of these transitory dynamics pose, or ever posed, any existential risk to the business. Further, Schwab’s enviable, high-return franchise remains, in our view, entirely intact. If we are right on both these counts, we should generate an attractive return from the current stock price across a range of long-term interest rate scenarios.

Shares in Charles Schwab returned -16% last year, making it the Fund’s worst-performing stock. By holding steady in the down market of 2022, it was one of the Fund’s best-performing stocks that year. This reversal in stock performance reflects a realization that rising interest rates are not an unalloyed good for Schwab in the short run…” (Click here to read the full text)

9. Sphere Entertainment Co. (NYSE:SPHR)

Billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller’s Stake: $10,010,000

Live entertainment and media company Sphere Entertainment Co. (NYSE:SPHR) ranks ninth in our list of the stocks both insiders and Stanley Druckenmiller were piling into.

On March 4, Sphere Entertainment Co.’s (NYSE:SPHR) CEO James L. Dolan snapped up  76,079 shares of Sphere Entertainment Co. (NYSE:SPHR) at $47.19 per share. Since then the stock has gained about 4% in value.

Druckenmiller also likes NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA), Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE:LLY).

McIntyre Partnerships stated the following regarding Sphere Entertainment Co. (NYSE:SPHR) in its fourth quarter 2023 investor letter:

“In addition, two long-held investments, GTX and MSGE/SPHR, had positive news during the year and were significant contributors to our overall gains. For MSGE/SPHR, the split of the two businesses proved to be a significant catalyst, with the combined company rallying ~75% last year. After the spin in the spring, I rotated the bulk of our investment from MSGE to Sphere Entertainment Co. (NYSE:SPHR), as I thought MSGE was trading at a reasonable valuation while SPHR remained deeply discounted. Since then, SPHR has completed construction of the Las Vegas Sphere, which opened to broadly positive reviews, and SPHR has appreciated further. However, we have substantially reduced our investment in SPHR. I was comfortable owning MSGE in significant size due to its unlevered ownership of the Madison Square Garden arena, an iconic venue with stable cash flows and modest growth. After the split, SPHR has no ownership of the arena and is instead a riskier growth company, with significant upside potential but also higher odds of a miss. As a result, we retain a smaller position in SPHR. Looking forward, I remain bullish on the Las Vegas Sphere and believe additional sphere developments could be a significant catalyst, offset somewhat by my worries regarding refinancing the MSGN loan while SPHR is still bearing a great number of front-end loaded growth expenses.”

8. Adobe Inc (NASDAQ:ADBE)

Billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller’s Stake: $10,220,000

Amy Banse, who is a director at Adobe Inc’s (NASDAQ:ADBE) board, bought just 40 shares of Adobe Inc (NASDAQ:ADBE) on June 21, 2023, at $492 per share. The director also bought 15 shares of Adobe Inc (NASDAQ:ADBE) on January 5 this year at $567.03 per share. Since her first transaction Adobe Inc (NASDAQ:ADBE) shares have gained about 4.6%.

As of the end of the fourth quarter of 2023, billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller had a $10.2 million stake in Adobe Inc (NASDAQ:ADBE). The stock is a new arrival in the billionaire’s portfolio.

Here is what Polen Global Growth has to say about Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:ADBE) in its Q3 2023 investor letter:

“Both Alphabet and Adobe’s businesses continue to perform well. With respect to Adobe, the most recent quarter delivered more of the same with constant currency revenue growing 13%, margin expansion, and over 2% of shares outstanding repurchased for non-GAAP earnings growth of over 20%. We believe its approach to GenAI through Firefly, which guarantees safe content because it trains on Adobe Stock, will continue to be attractive to enterprises. The counter to GenAI, and something we are keeping an eye on with Alphabet and Adobe, is that it requires heavy investment. While both businesses can leverage their scale and manage costs in other areas, we expect the investment in future growth through GenAI will weigh on company-wide margins over the near term.”

7. Freeport-McMoRan Inc (NYSE:FCX)

Billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller’s Stake: $20,073,000

Sara Grootwassink Lewis, a director at Freeport-McMoRan Inc’s (NYSE:FCX) board, snapped up  4,000 shares of Freeport-McMoRan Inc (NYSE:FCX) on May 12, 2023. Since then Freeport-McMoRan Inc (NYSE:FCX) shares have gained about 28%.

As of the end of the fourth quarter of 2023, 83 hedge funds out of the 933 funds tracked by Insider Monkey were long Freeport-McMoRan Inc (NYSE:FCX), a significant increase from 73 funds in the previous quarter.

6. Option Care Health Inc. (NASDAQ:OPCH)

Billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller’s Stake: $49,060,000

Harry MJansen KraemerJr. is a board member at home infusion therapy services company Option Care Health Inc. (NASDAQ:OPCH). The director bought 35,000 shares of Option Care Health Inc. (NASDAQ:OPCH) on February 26 at $31.55 per share. Since then through March 25 the stock has gained about 4.5%.

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

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.
