By Sean Williams – Mar 9, 2026 at 5:06AM ESTKey PointsQuarterly-filed Form 13Fs allow investors to track which stocks Wall Street's savviest money managers are buying and selling.Billionaire Chase Coleman pared down his fund's stakes in several Magnificent Seven stocks during the fourth quarter, including Meta Platforms and Microsoft.Meanwhile, another artificial intelligence (AI)-driven company has found its way to the top of the pecking order in Tiger Global's nearly $30 billion fund.Although earnings season tends to get most of the glory, the quarterly filing of Form 13Fs with the Securities and Exchange Commission is an equally important event for investors. A 13F provides investors with a detailed snapshot of which stocks Wall Street's savviest fund managers purchased and sold in the latest quarter. Feb. 17 marked the deadline for institutional investors with at least $100 million in assets under management (AUM) to file a 13F, including billionaire Chase Coleman, who oversees nearly $30 billion in AUM at Tiger Global Management. According to Tiger Global's 13F, the fourth quarter of 2025 marked the first time in 13 quarters (since Sept. 30, 2022) that Meta Platforms (META 2.33%) or Microsoft (MSFT 0.42%) wasn't Coleman's No. 1 holding.

Billionaire Chase Coleman is paring down his fund's exposure to Meta and Microsoft Coleman is a huge fan of the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution and the "Magnificent Seven." Many of the 54 stocks held by Tiger Global are influenced by AI and/or have clear competitive advantages. Nevertheless, billionaire Chase Coleman was a seller of shares of Meta Platforms and Microsoft in the December-ended quarter. Tiger Global's boss dumped 1,073,621 shares of Microsoft (a 16% reduction) and 68,386 shares of Meta (a 2% cut).

Although his fund has held shares in both companies since the fourth quarter of 2016, Coleman averages a hold time of 10.8 quarters (about two years and eight months). Shares of both companies have significantly outpaced the benchmark S&P 500 since being added over nine years ago. However, Tiger Global's chief investor may also be concerned about the stock market's historical priciness. The S&P 500's Shiller Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio hit its second-priciest level in history, which may explain why Coleman has been paring down several of his fund's top holdings. If a stock market correction occurs, market leaders may be among the hardest hit. Image source: Getty Images.
Tiger Global Management's AI-focused portfolio has a new No. 1 holding Although Chase Coleman pared down his fund's exposure to several Magnificent Seven stocks during the fourth quarter, he didn't sell a single share of Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL 0.75%)(GOOG 0.87%), which is Tiger Global Management's new No. 1 holding. Alphabet's foundation is built atop its virtual monopoly in internet search-based advertising. Data from GlobalStats shows Google has accounted for 89% to 93% of worldwide internet search share over the trailing decade. This makes Google the logical go-to for businesses wanting to target users with their message(s), and it affords parent Alphabet exceptional pricing power.

Alphabet is aggressively incorporating generative AI and large language model capabilities into Google Cloud for its clients, resulting in a rapid acceleration of year-over-year growth -- Google Cloud sales soared 48% in the fourth quarter compared with the previous year. Alphabet's forward P/E ratio of less than 23, with growth from its highest-margin operating segment reaccelerating, clearly has Tiger Global's billionaire investor excited for the future.Read NextMar 9, 2026 •By John BallardYou Don't Need Polymarket to Make a Winning Bet.
