See what the world's top investors are buying and saying

This Week's PicksEditor's weekly picks · start here2026-10-26
This week's pulseThis week, top investors focused on two main themes: first, the wave of AI infrastructure spending and valuation divergence. Monks Investment Trust noted that the four major tech companies will spend approximately $1 trillion on AI next year, but emphasized that investors should not bet on a single theme. While Patient Capital remains bullish on the cycle, it also flagged risk signals such as CoreWeave’s 15% unsecured yield. Second, activist strategies and value realization opportunities. Starboard Value is concentrating its efforts, arguing that Knife River, Skyworks Solutions, and Solstice Advanced Materials offer significant value potential through operational improvements or asset splits, with Skyworks’ per-share value potentially rising to $150–$180. On points of divergence: Damodaran cited Anthropic as an example of young companies being priced using “messy metrics” like ARR, while Bireme argued that catalysts such as IPOs do not warrant a premium, and value still depends on operational growth.
