Mark Cuban Stock Portfolio: 12 Stocks To Consider

In this article, we discuss the 12 stocks to consider in the stock portfolio of Mark Cuban. If you want to read about some more stocks in the Mark Cuban portfolio, go directly to Mark Cuban Stock Portfolio: 5 Stocks To Consider.

Mark Cuban is known for many things. He is a famous television personality for appearances on a startup funding show called Shark Tank. He is also an angel investor, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. Up until a few weeks ago, Cuban was also the majority owner of basketball team Dallas Mavericks. Over the past few decades, Cuban has earned the respect of the finance world by turning his investments into a multi-billion dollar empire. His first claim to fame was selling video portal Broadcast to Yahoo for $5.7 billion in 1999. 

Cuban recently pulled off a similar coup with his basketball team. In the year 2000, just after his first big sale, Cuban bought the Dallas Mavericks for $285 million. Earlier this week, the NBA approved the sale of the company to a Las Vegas casino family for $3.5 billion. Cuban, after selling his majority stake in the team, has pocketed more than $3 billion from the trade. Despite the sale, Cuban maintains a minor ownership stake in the team and also retains the control over basketball operations. He has said the deal will bring in more revenue for the team. 

Even though Mark Cuban is more than sixty years old, his investment philosophy closely mirrors that of a new generation of stock traders at the market who are bullish on high growth themes such as artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies, and technology in general. Cuban is worth more than $6 billion and some of the top stocks to consider in his investment portfolio include e-commerce giant Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), streaming leader Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX), and tech behemoth Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG). 

Cuban has been bullish on Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) for many years, backing the shares to go higher on multiple occasions during interviews. In 2019, he disclosed that he owned close to $1 billion worth of Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock that he had purchased for a split-adjusted price of $25 to $35 per share. As of December 29, the multinational tech firm trades at over $153 per share. Cuban noted how ecommerce was changing how retailers did business because of Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN). 

“Obviously, online matters. Ecommerce has had the impact that everybody expected it to. I think traditional retailers, brick-and-mortar retailers, had hoped there would be ways to work around it, and some have found some solutions. But it’s not business as usual anymore, and if you opened up a store 10 years ago when rents were significantly higher and your rents escalate, you’re in trouble. And it is hard to regenerate traffic. Yeah you have an online component but if you have a thousand locations [stores] that is going to dominate your business.”

Cramer also picked up on the artificial intelligence trend at the stock long before other investors, identifying Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) as one his top picks in the space. In a LinkedIn interview last year, he identified AI as one of the sectors that young investors should target for future growth. In early 2021, via  a post on social networking platform X, Cuban said the foundation of his investing strategy was how good a company was at AI, noting Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) was part of an AI Squad that was the best at it. 

The “AI Squad”. The companies that have harnessed AI the best are the companies dominating.  To paraphrase a great movie line, “They keep getting smarter while everyone else stays the same “ It’s the foundation of how I invest in stocks these days. “How good is the company at AI”

Our Methodology

It is important to clarify that the stocks listed below were picked from the public comments that Cuban has made on his investments. He has explicitly mentioned some of his private holdings during these public appearances while only alluding to others. However, based on a careful assessment of the comments, the stocks listed below largely align with his investment philosophy. The list is compiled according to the number of hedge funds having stakes in each firm. The hedge fund sentiment around each stock was calculated using the data of 900 elite hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey in the third quarter of 2023. 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). That’s why we pay very close attention to this often-ignored indicator.

11. AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:AMC)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 18  

AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:AMC) engages in the theatrical exhibition business. In late January 2021, Mark Cuban addressed the short squeeze saga sweeping the finance world, telling news platform CNBC that his son made trades in AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:AMC) using information from TikTok, saying he loved how speed and density of information was giving the little guy an edge in trading. 

At the end of the third quarter of 2023, 18 hedge funds in the database of Insider Monkey held stakes worth $54 million in AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:AMC), compared to 16 in the preceding quarter worth $39 million. 

10. BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 19

BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB) provides intelligent security software and services to enterprises and governments worldwide.

Among the hedge funds being tracked by Insider Monkey, Toronto-based firm Fairfax Financial Holdings is a leading shareholder in BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB) with 46 million shares worth more than $220 million. 

9. Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (NYSE:FNF)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 26  

Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (NYSE:FNF) provides technology solutions for merchants, banks, and capital markets firms worldwide. During a question answer session with retail traders on WallStreetBets forum in early 2021, Cuban advised large banks to mainstream crypto, like Fidelity Financial had done, noting this would help smoothen crypto prices in the long term. 

Among the hedge funds being tracked by Insider Monkey, New York-based investment firm Brave Warrior Capital is a leading shareholder in Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (NYSE:FNF) with 9.4 million shares worth more than $392 million. 

In its Q3 2023 investor letter, Silver Beech Capital, an asset management firm, highlighted a few stocks and Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (NYSE:FNF) was one of them. Here is what the fund said:

“Fidelity National Financial (“FNF”) is the largest title insurance agency in the United States and a leading provider of title-related real estate transaction services. FNF also owns 85% of F&G Annuities, a life insurance and annuity business. Real estate transaction volume is tied to the interest rate cycle; therefore, title insurers are cyclical and often dismissed as bad businesses. FNF’s title profits will likely decline by over 50% in 2023, a cyclical trough, versus profits in 2021, a cyclical peak. Lumpiness in FNF’s title profits is to be expected, yet investors over-extrapolate FNF’s earnings power to the upside and downside. Since 2021, FNF’s stock peaked at ~$50 per share and troughed at ~$32 per share, a greater than 60% dispersion in equity valuation (including share repurchase accounting but excluding spin-offs).

Though volume is cyclical, real estate transactions are a constant feature of the American economy and FNF’s title profits will normalize. FNF earns the highest title margins in the industry and remained profitable this year despite the challenging operating environment. This is important because title fees are regulated at the state and local level, restricting excessive take rates, so effective expense management is essential. Fee regulation entrenches the title market’s status quo because returns on capital are good but not high enough to justify new competition. Regulators and customers are most comfortable with existing providers because they are compliant with the regulatory landscape, reliable, possess the most data, have the deepest customer relationships, and constitute a tiny fraction of spend in the value chain…” (Click here to see the full text)

8. Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 27    

Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) provides financial infrastructure and technology for the crypto economy. Mark Cuban has been a long-term admirer of cryptocurrencies. In April 2021, he noted that despite his large portfolio of altcoins and crypto firms, nearly 60% of his holdings remained concentrated in Bitcoin, the most-traded currency on Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN), one of the largest crypto firms in the world.  

At the end of the third quarter of 2023, 27 hedge funds in the database of Insider Monkey held stakes worth $1.23 billion in Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN), the same as in the preceding quarter worth $1.28 billion.

At the end of the third quarter of 2023, 28 hedge funds in the database of Insider Monkey held stakes worth $777 million in Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ:HOOD), the same as in the previous quarter worth $754 billion.

6. Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:LYV)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 40      

Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:LYV) operates as a live entertainment company. In March 2020, Mark Cuban told news platform CNBC that he bought Live Nation Entertainment, Inc.

At the end of the third quarter of 2023, 40 hedge funds in the database of Insider Monkey held stakes worth $2 billion in Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:LYV), compared to 41 in the preceding quarter worth $2.2 billion.

In addition to Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX), and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG), Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:LYV) is one of the stocks to consider in the portfolio of Mark Cuban. 

In its Q3 2023 investor letter, Baron Funds, an asset management firm, highlighted a few stocks and Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:LYV) was one of them. Here is what the fund said:

“Liberty Media Corporation-Liberty Live is a tracking stock created on 8/4/2023 representing Liberty Media Corporation’s holdings in Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:LYV) shares. Those holdings were previously attributed to Liberty SiriusXM and reattributed to a the newly created Liberty Live Group vehicle to reduce the complexity of the Liberty SiriusXM structure and make way for its potential combination with the underlying SiriusXM business. We believe the separation created some selling pressure on Liberty Live, creating an attractive discount of over 40% to the underlying value of its Live Nation holdings, and we took advantage of that discount to build a position. The Liberty Live Group is a small-cap vehicle through which we can own the underlying Live Nation business, which we have tracked and liked for years. Live Nation has significant competitive advantages in the live entertainment industry due to its unique combination of concert promotion, ticketing, venue management, and sponsorship businesses, which create a market share flywheel and margin structure that is difficult for competitors in any one of these underlying sub-segments to replicate independently. In addition to the upside we see in Live Nation, we think Liberty Live Group could eventually transition from a tracking stock to an asset-backed vehicle, which would pave the way for a structure consolidation with Live Nation and allow us to capture the current wide NAV discount.”

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.

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.
