Stanley Druckenmiller vendió todas sus acciones en Broadcom tras su alza del 100% y reforzó su inversión en grandes tecnológicas.

El nuevo giro de Druckenmiller: vende Broadcom y amplía su apuesta en tecnológicas clave

Natera Inc

Billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller&#8216;s family office Duquesne has divested his entire stake in Broadcom, simultaneously increasing his investments in major tech companies, as revealed in a recent 13-F filing.
What Happened: According to a recent&nbsp;SEC filing, Druckenmiller, a seasoned investor, sold all his shares of&nbsp;Broadcom Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) in the fourth quarter. This move comes on the heels of his total exit from Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), a competing chipmaker, a few months prior.
In the closing months of 2024, Druckenmiller significantly reduced his tech stock portfolio, selling his entire stakes in&nbsp;Microsoft Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>),&nbsp;Adobe Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) and&nbsp;Autodesk Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADSK#NASDAQ">ADSK</a>). He also completely sold his stake in&nbsp;Starbucks Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) and his shares in insurance company&nbsp;Chubb Ltd.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CB#NYSE">CB</a>).
Despite these divestments, Druckenmiller increased his investments in several big tech companies in the same quarter, acquiring new positions in&nbsp;Alphabet Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>),&nbsp;Amazon.com Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Elon Musk&#8216;s electric vehicle manufacturer&nbsp;Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).
Druckenmiller&#8217;s Duquesne also initiated new investments in United Airlines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NYSE">UAL</a>), Delta Air Lines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), Warner Bros. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NYSE">WBD</a>), Skechers (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SKX#NYSE">SKX</a>), and Eli Lilly (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>).
The most significant holding in his Duquesne Family Office remains Natera (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTRA#NASDAQ">NTRA</a>), the clinical genetic-testing company in which they held a stake since 2022. Natera holdings account for just over 15% of the portfolio. Meanwhile, the firm increased its stake in Teva Pharmaceuticals (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEVA#NYSE">TEVA</a>) by nearly 6.3 times.

Why It Matters: Druckenmiller, who formerly managed hedge funds for George Soros, now manages his own wealth through the Duquesne Family Office, which has investments worth nearly $3.72 billion.
The billionaire investor&#8217;s latest moves follow his earlier divestments in AI stocks. During the third quarter of 2024, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42668157/stanley-druckenmiller-dumps-streets-hottest-ai-stocks-heres-what-the-billionaire-investor-is-betting-on-next">Druckenmiller sold all of its Nvidia shares and significantly reduced its Palantir holdings</a> by 95%. This occurred despite Nvidia and Palantir experiencing significant stock surges that year, with Nvidia&#8217;s stock increasing nearly 190% and Palantir&#8217;s shares gaining over 386%. 
The current quarter&#8217;s exit from Broadcom despite the stock surging more than 100% over the past year appears as a profit booking move. Meanwhile, other additions in big tech stocks show his growing confidence in the sector.
Druckenmiller added Tesla to its portfolio which surged over 83% in the past year. However, the stock plunged more than 16% over the last month, amid declining global sales, regulatory roadblocks in China, earnings disappointment, and Musk&#8217;s increasing political involvement.

In its updated guidelines for colon cancer1 and for rectal cancer2, NCCN now includes ctDNA as a high risk factor for recurrence in the adjuvant setting, recognizing its prognostic value. This represents a significant step forward as it's the first time the committee has formally recognized ctDNA as being prognostic. The guidelines remain cautious about ctDNA for surveillance, as expected. The NCCN finalized these updates before data from the phase III CALGB (Alliance) / SWOG 80702 study were presented at ASCO GI in January, supporting the predictive nature of Signatera in the adjuvant setting.

Natera shares are trading higher after the company announced it gained national commercial coverage for fetal RhD NIPT and is expanding its access to noninvasive prenatal testing.

Coverage from one of the largest payors in the country expands access to fetal RhD testing for pregnant patients nationwide

Natera Gains National Commercial Coverage For Fetal RhD NIPT, Expanding Access To Noninvasive Prenatal Testing

<a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.natera.com%2F&amp;esheet=54197454&amp;newsitemid=20250203957122&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Natera%2C+Inc.&amp;index=1&amp;md5=57559066139c4e5dbfbbca31156a600f">Natera, Inc.</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTRA#NASDAQ">NTRA</a>), a global leader in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and genetic testing, today announced a new policy for commercial coverage of its cfDNA Fetal RhD noninvasive prenatal test (Fetal RhD NIPT) from one of the largest payors in the United States.
Effective as of Jan. 2025, the policy notes that coverage of fetal RhD testing is available when a pregnancy may be at risk for alloimmunization, when paternal antigen typing is unavailable or heterozygous, and if a patient declines amniocentesis or it is not recommended for the pregnancy.
Up to 15 percent of pregnant patients are RhD-negative1. When the maternal blood type is RhD-negative and the fetal blood type is RhD-positive, antibodies can develop (alloimmunization) that can lead to hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn.
Natera's Fetal RhD NIPT can be performed as early as nine weeks gestation and determines fetal RhD status from the blood of a pregnant patient. It is offered through the Company's women's health suite of products, which includes Panorama, the no. 1 ordered NIPT in the U.S.

Natera's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTRA#NYSE">NTRA</a>) short percent of float has risen 6.87% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.32 million shares sold short, which is 3.42% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.84 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Natera Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1737382517_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Natera has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Natera's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Natera's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.25%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The End Of The 60/40 Portfolio&nbsp;</h2>
For years, a common investing approach was the 60/40 portfolio: 60% in stocks, and 40% in bonds. The idea behind it was simple: bonds were expected to outperform when stocks underperformed, and vice-versa. But as Tatiana Darie of Bloomberg pointed out yesterday (&#8220;<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/shifting-correlations-unleash-market-havoc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Shifting Correlations Unleash Market Havoc</a>&#8220;), that is no longer the case:
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">Whether&nbsp;good&nbsp;or bad, shifting correlations are poised to wreak havoc on cross-asset strategies, and hedging assumptions will likely need to change. In the current environment, bonds are no longer proving to be a shield from stock losses.&nbsp;Jim Bianco&nbsp;of Bianco Research says the reason to hold bonds is changing, calling the days of the 60/40 portfolio&nbsp;"over."
It also means that trading might require a more creative and active approach that goes beyond traditional (and stale) assumptions.
</blockquote>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Moving Beyond Traditional (And Stale) Assumptions</h2>
As it happens, we developed an approach that moves beyond traditional assumptions. Specifically, it moves beyond the assumption that asset allocation is useful at all. The 60/40 portfolio, and other forms of asset allocation, deliberately put you in asset classes expected to perform badly. Why not put your money in assets you expect will do well? If you&#8217;re worried about downside risk, you can hedge with options. That&#8217;s essentially our approach, <a href="https://portfolioarmor.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">The Hedged Portfolio Method</a>. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Hedged Portfolio Method&nbsp;</h2>
Here&#8217;s how our method works, in a nutshell:&nbsp;
<ol>
<li>Our system estimates 6-month returns for each security with options traded on it in the U.S. In addition to stocks, this universe of securities includes bond and commodity ETFs and even inverse ETFs. Our system is completely agnostic when it comes to asset class.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Next, our system finds optimal hedges for each security, and calculates their cost.&nbsp;</li>
<li>We subtract the hedging costs in 2. from the estimated returns in 1. and rank the securities by expected return, net of hedging cost.&nbsp;</li>
<li>The names that come to the top of the list in 3. are our top names. We buy and hedge a handful of them.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>
There are some additional steps, such as using a tightly collared &#8220;cash substitute&#8221; to minimize cash and boost returns, but that&#8217;s the gist of it.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Precisely Limiting Your Risk</h2>
One advantage of our approach is that you can precisely limit your risk. Don&#8217;t want to risk a decline of more than 17% over the next 6 months? Our system will hedge it so you don&#8217;t. Much different from putting 40% of your money in bonds and hoping for the best.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Real World Example&nbsp;</h2>
Here&#8217;s a portfolio our system created for an investor in July of last year. This was for an investor unwilling to risk a decline of more than 20% over the next 6 months. This one included&nbsp;American Superconductor Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMSC#NASDAQ">AMSC</a>),&nbsp;Abercrombie &amp; Fitch Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANF#NYSE">ANF</a>),&nbsp;Constellation Energy Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>),&nbsp;Dell Technologies, Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>),&nbsp;Navios Maritime Partners LP&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NMM#NYSE">NMM</a>),&nbsp;Natera, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTRA#NASDAQ">NTRA</a>), and&nbsp;Powell Industries, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POWL#NASDAQ">POWL</a>).
