Welcome to Extreme Investor Network, where we provide you with unique insights and valuable information on the world of investing. Today, we are diving into the latest moves of renowned hedge fund manager David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital.
In the first quarter, Einhorn made some interesting stock picks, including Penn Entertainment. Despite facing challenges in finding opportunities in the volatile market, Einhorn remained confident in his investment decisions. He established a midsized position in Penn Entertainment at an average cost of $22.69 per share, although the stock has since fallen to $17.44. The decline was attributed to investor skepticism regarding Penn’s sports betting venture after the failed acquisition of Barstool Sports. However, Einhorn believes that if executed correctly, sports betting could significantly boost Penn Entertainment’s stock price.
Einhorn, known for his successful investing track record, paused on building new stock positions in the fourth quarter due to escalating geopolitical risks. Despite this cautious approach, his hedge fund returned 4.9% in the first quarter of 2024, outperforming the S&P 500’s gain of 10.6%.
In addition to Penn Entertainment, Einhorn also disclosed a stake in HP, citing the company’s potential to benefit from the artificial intelligence boom. He commended HP’s aggressive buyback and dividend strategy, as well as the projected uptrend in AI-driven personal computer adoption.
Moreover, Greenlight Capital took new positions in biotech company Roivant Sciences and the Class A shares of Liberty Global (LBTYA), demonstrating Einhorn’s strategic diversification across various sectors.
