Stanley Druckenmiller has reshuffled his investment portfolio in a big way. The legendary investor sold three major positions and bought two Magnificent Seven tech stocks.

Druckenmiller manages the Duquesne family office with roughly $4 billion in securities. He previously ran Duquesne Capital Management for 30 years. During that time, he achieved a 30% average annual return without a single losing year.

The billionaire must file quarterly reports with the SEC on Form 13F. These filings show his latest stock trades. His recent moves reveal a clear shift in strategy.

Selling High-Flying Growth Stocks

Druckenmiller exited his Nvidia position in Q3 2024. The AI chipmaker had delivered massive gains for shareholders. Nvidia stock climbed 1,000% over three years.

NVIDIA Corporation, NVDA

He sold all his Palantir Technologies shares in Q1 2025. The AI software company surged 2,000% during the same period. Druckenmiller dumped his Eli Lilly holdings in Q3 2025.

The pharmaceutical company rose more than 180% over three years. In a Bloomberg interview, Druckenmiller explained his Nvidia sale. He pointed to rising valuation as the main factor.

Nvidia designs AI chips that power data centers worldwide. The company has posted double and triple-digit revenue growth. Palantir sells AI platforms that help organizations analyze data.

Eli Lilly makes popular weight loss medications. All three companies saw their stock valuations expand significantly. This likely influenced Druckenmiller’s decision to sell.

Buying Cheaper AI Exposure

Druckenmiller opened new positions in Alphabet and Meta during Q3 2025. He bought 102,200 Alphabet shares, making it his 44th-largest holding. He purchased 76,100 Meta shares, now his 18th-biggest position.

Alphabet Inc., GOOGL

Alphabet trades at 27 times forward earnings estimates. Meta trades at just 22 times forward earnings. These valuations are the lowest among the Magnificent Seven tech stocks.

AI Investments at Lower Prices

Meta owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The company generates revenue mainly through digital advertising. Meta is deploying AI to keep users engaged on its platforms longer.

The technology also improves ad targeting for businesses. Better ad performance leads to increased spending from advertisers. This directly boosts Meta’s revenue growth.

Alphabet operates Google Search and YouTube. The company also earns most revenue from advertising. Alphabet uses AI to enhance ad effectiveness across its properties.

Google Cloud offers AI products and services to business customers. The cloud division grew revenue 34% in the most recent quarter. Both companies provide exposure to AI growth trends.

They offer this exposure at much lower valuations than competitors. Druckenmiller appears to be seeking AI investments with better value. His portfolio changes show a preference for established tech giants over specialized AI plays.

The investor’s moves suggest he sees more upside potential in Alphabet and Meta. Their lower valuations and strong market positions attracted his capital. Both companies have decades-long track records of consistent earnings growth.
