Tiger Global Management LLC is taking bold risks. Chase Coleman's hedge fund made <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/hedge-funds">aggressive fourth-quarter 2024 bets</a> on high-growth names while shedding some underperformers, signaling a clear preference for tech and digital dominance.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Big Buys: Betting On Disruption</h2>
Tiger Global&#8217;s latest 13F <a href="https://13f.info/13f/000091957425001475-tiger-global-management-llc-q4-2024#google_vignette">filing </a>shows that as of Dec. 31, 2024, it increased its stakes in several growth stocks, with Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) leading the charge—a 2.13% increase in its portfolio weighting.
The fund also jumped on Reddit Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>) ahead of its much-anticipated public momentum, boosting its position by 1.11%. 
Cybersecurity leader Zscaler Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZS#NASDAQ">ZS</a>) and e-commerce giant PDD Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>) also saw meaningful increases, reinforcing Tiger's focus on digital transformation.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Major Exits: A Health Check On UnitedHealth</h2>
The biggest surprise? Tiger Global slashed its UnitedHealth Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) stake by 5.06%, moving away from the insurance titan amid regulatory uncertainties.
Also on the chopping block were Nu Holdings Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NU#NYSE">NU</a>), ZoomInfo Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZI#NASDAQ">ZI</a>) and Toast Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TOST#NYSE">TOST</a>) &#8211; all seeing reductions, albeit on a smaller scale.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Core Holdings: Meta Still Reigns Supreme</h2>
Despite the shake-ups, Tiger's core conviction remains clear: Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) still dominates its portfolio, making up 16.52% of its holdings. 
Other tech titans like Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) and Apollo Global Management (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APO#NYSE">APO</a>) round out the top positions, showcasing a clear tilt toward AI, cloud computing, and digital media.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Takeaway: Tiger's Tech-Forward Playbook</h2>
Tiger Global's fourth-quarter strategy signals a full-speed-ahead approach to tech, AI, and digital consumer trends while dialing back on legacy finance and healthcare.
With AI-driven companies and disruptive digital platforms leading the portfolio, Coleman&#8217;s fund continues to invest heavily in technology&#8217;s future &#8211; systematically removing exposure to declining sectors.

Super Bowl Commercials 2025: Complete List of Super Bowl LIX Ads And Companies Behind Them

When most people hear Hasbro Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAS#NASDAQ">HAS</a>) they think of the company's toys and games like Transformers, G.I. Joe, Monopoly, Nerf and Play-Doh. Thanks to a new entertainment announcement, investors could soon focus more on the company's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/02/25725395/100-upside-what-a-wizards-of-the-coast-spinoff-could-mean-for-hasbro">Wizards of the Coast division.</a>
What Happened: Hasbro Entertainment is launching a film and television universe based on the Magic: The Gathering game, which comes as the brand saw strong growth in<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41515616/monopoly-maker-hasbro-inventory-falls-39-in-q3-cfo-vows-to-finish-2024-with-improved-profitability"> the third quarter</a>.
Magic: The Gathering, launched in 1993 by Wizards of the Coast, was the world's first trading card game and became a staple in the sector over the years. Hasbro acquired Wizards of the Coast in 1999 and in recent years has seen increased growth from the sector thanks to digital gaming.
Hasbro is teaming up with Legendary Entertainment, a leading entertainment company that counts Apollo Global Management (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APO#NYSE">APO</a>) as its co-owner with Legendary.
Legendary Entertainment and Hasbro plan to launch a movie first and then expand into television, following a similar path of the "Dune" franchise, which Legendary Entertainment also worked on, as <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/magic-the-gathering-film-tv-universe-1236129132/">reported </a>by The Hollywood Reporter. 
"We pride ourselves on being thoughtful caretakers of singular, beloved IP, and no property better fits that description than Magic: The Gathering," Legendary's Chairwoman of worldwide production Mary Parent said.
Legendary has worked on turning brands into franchises before with Dune, Godzilla Vs. Kong and the upcoming "Minecraft" movie.
Hasbro has a Magic: The Gathering TV show in the works for Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>). A planned movie was in the works for years but never was created.
"This is an exciting and complementary partnership, uniting one of the world' most iconic brands with a powerful and proven steward," Hasbro Entertainment head of film Zev Foreman said.

Why It's Important: Magic: The Gathering has been played by 50 million people around the world and has a strong built-in fan base that could translate to a strong reception for the movies and TV shows.
Not all game adaptations work out successfully as several Dungeons &amp; Dragons movies did not perform strongly at the box office. Wizards of the Coast also owns Dungeons &amp; Dragons.
Hasbro has played a key role in adapting its brands into movies and TV shows, including the popular Transformers franchise.
The partnership with Legendary could be the key here as the company has successfully turned Dune into a strong movie and TV franchise.
Hasbro's Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming segment continues to be a strong performer for the company and with the latest entertainment news could provide more upside for shareholders.
In 2022, an activist shareholder pushed for Hasbro to spinoff Wizards of the Coast, suggesting there could be significant upside for Hasbro's share price by unlocking the key growth segment.
HAS Price Action: Hasbro stock trades at $58.92 versus a 52-week trading range of $46.10 to $73.46.

Hasbro Moves To Expand Magic: The Gathering Into Film & TV — Why Legendary Matters

Shelling out millions of dollars for a Super Bowl commercial can be a risky move. Just ask the 14 companies with dot com in their name how things turned out after being featured in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl ads </a>in 2000.
What Happened: Super Bowl XXXIV, which featured the St. Louis Rams and Tennessee Titans, will be remembered for many reasons, including being known as the "Dot-Com Super Bowl" due to the large number of companies with dot com in their name shelling out millions on<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/01/43324031/super-bowl-lix-commercials-hit-record-8-million-how-fox-corporation-can-win-from-nfl-championship"> Super Bowl ads.</a>
Super Bowl commercials for the NFL championship game in 2000 had a cost of around $2.2 million for a 30-second spot. Compare that to the $7 million to $8 million per 30-second spot that Fox Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOX#NASDAQ">FOX</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOXA#NASDAQ">FOXA</a>) is getting for this year's big game.
Here is the list of the dot-com companies that ran ads in Super Bowl XXXIV:
<ul>
<li>AutoTrader.com: Still Active</li>
<li>Computer.com: Bought out by Office Depot (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ODP#NASDAQ">ODP</a>) in 2000</li>
<li>E1040.com: Defunct</li>
<li>Epidemic.com: Defunct</li>
<li>E-Stamp.com: Defunct</li>
<li>HotJobs.com: Bought by Yahoo! in 2022 and later by Monster.com in 2010</li>
<li>LastMinuteTravel.com: Active, merged with Tourico Holidays in 2004, acquired by Hotelbeds Group in 2017</li>
<li>LifeMinders.com: Bought by Cross Media Group in 2001</li>
<li>Monster.com: Active, bought by Randstad NV in 2016, now majority owned by Apollo Global (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APO#NYSE">APO</a>)</li>
<li>OnMoney.com: Defunct</li>
<li>Netpliance: Rebranded as Tipping Point in 2002, bought by 3Com in 2005</li>
<li>OurBeginning.com: Bought by undisclosed company in 2002</li>
<li>Pets.com: Defunct, website now redirects to PetSmart's website</li>
<li>WebMD: Active, bought by Internet Brands in 2017</li>
</ul>
Along with the 14 dot-com companies that ran ads, there were also several technology companies that were founded before the dot-com boom that aired ads in this Super Bowl. Those companies are:
<ul>
<li>Britannica: Active</li>
<li>E&#x2A;Trade: Active, bought by Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) in 2020</li>
<li>Electronic Data Systems: Bought by HP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPQ#NYSE">HPQ</a>) in 2008</li>
<li>Kforce: Active</li>
<li>MicroStrategy: Active, changing name to Strategy and trades as MicroStrategy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>)</li>
</ul>
As <a href="https://x.com/darrenrovell/status/1885071827145253163">pointed </a>out by cllct co-founder Darren Rovell, only three of the 14 dot-com companies that advertised in Super Bowl XXXIV still exist under the same name today (Autotrader, Monster, WebMD).

Why It's Important: Super Bowl XXXIV was watched by more than 80 million people and many of the dot-com companies that advertised saw big spikes in website traffic.
LastMinuteTravel <a href="https://www.sfgate.com/business/networth/article/dot-com-super-bowl-advertisers-fumble-but-down-2739134.php">saw </a>over 300,000 hits per minute during its Super Bowl ads. OurBeginning.com's revenue was up 350% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2000. For most, the gains in traffic and revenue weren't enough to offset the high marketing costs on the Super Bowl ads.
Super Bowl XXXIV may have been one of the peak moments of the dot-com bubble with Barron's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/19/03/11389594/this-day-in-market-history-barrons-calls-1bubble-top">calling the top</a> on March 20, 2000 with a cover story "Burning Up."
The 2001 Super Bowl (XXXV) featured only three dot-com companies as many of the prior year's companies had already gone under or were facing financial struggles. E&#x2A;Trade poked fun at the number of dot-com companies from the prior year during their Super Bowl XXXV ad.
The Dot-Com Super Bowl of 2000 hit the spotlight again in 2022 when a large number of cryptocurrency companies ran Super Bowl ads in Super Bowl LVI,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/02/25569962/super-bowl-lvi-becomes-crypto-bowl-with-commercials-ad-campaigns-for-big-game"> prompting the nickname</a> of the "Crypto Bowl."
Among the companies that advertised during Super Bowl LVI was FTX, a cryptocurrency platform that went bankrupt less than a year after its Super Bowl commercial.
Spending millions of dollars on a Super Bowl commercial is not a proven path to success, especially for smaller unproven and unprofitable companies. Food for thought as you watch this year's Super Bowl ads.

U.S. stocks advanced midday Tuesday, demonstrating resilience despite escalating geopolitical tensions and trade uncertainties between the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">world&#8217;s two largest economies.</a>
China responded to President Donald Trump&#8216;s 10% import tariff with targeted countermeasures, including restrictions on key mineral exports to the U.S. and tariffs on American energy products.
Beijing is raising tariffs by 10%-15% on select U.S. imports, including coal, liquefied natural gas, crude oil, agricultural machinery and vehicles. Additionally, China added PVH Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PVH#NYSE">PVH</a>) and Illumina Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ILMN#NASDAQ">ILMN</a>) to its &#8220;Unreliable Entity List,&#8221; citing the need to &#8220;safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests,&#8221; and opened an antitrust investigation on Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>).
Market participants had anticipated a call between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday, but media reports indicated the conversation would not happen today.
The trade developments had an immediate impact on oil markets, with West Texas Intermediate crude futures plunging 3% overnight to as low as $70 per barrel. 
Yet, prices rebounded sharply Tuesday morning following reports that Trump is considering issuing a memorandum aimed at inflicting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/02/43469234/trump-prepares-maximum-pressure-on-iran-oil-jumps-above-73-energy-stocks-rally">maximum economic damage on Iran</a>, potentially leading to a sharp decline in Iranian oil production.
Energy stocks outperformed on the day, while utilities lagged. 
Among individual stocks, Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) rocketed 22% after posting strong earnings and a revenue beat. 
In the commodities market, gold added more than 1%, extending its all-time high, and silver jumped 2.2%. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) declined 2% to $99,000.
