Finding interesting and good stocks can be tricky. It is often said “look at the services and products around you,” but there are more ways. This way we can look back in time and see what the super investors like Warren Buffet, Charlie Munger and Bill Ackman bought to get ideas. Alphastocks tells you more about the top 10 most bought stocks in Q2 2022.
“Value stocks are about as exciting as watching grass grow. But have you ever noticed just how much your grass grows in a week?” – Christopher H. Browne
At number 10 is Bank of America Corp (BAC). One of the largest banks in America, but because banks are not in my circle of competence I can’t tell you much about this.
At number 9 is the company Netflix (NFLX). The streaming service has had a rough year, dropping nearly -67% from its peak. Although the stock price looks bad, the company is achieving higher turnover every year and is slowly expanding its platform to include games.
At number 8 is the company Moody’s Corp (MCO). Moody’s is an international independent rating agency that assesses the creditworthiness of companies by assigning a score. If you are not known in this world, I would leave this company alone. In any case, it is not in my circle of competence.
At number 7 is Booking Holdings Inc (BKNG). Booking.com has grown from a small Dutch startup to one of the world’s largest travel e-commerce companies. Booking’s share price has also taken a hard hit, falling almost -38% from its peak. An excellent company, which may well be worth investigating further.
At number 6 is Walt Disney Co. (DIS). Who doesn’t know it? This international mega-corporation has dozens of unique theme parks, makes and sells movies and has had its own streaming service for a few years now to compete with Netflix. The company has had a hard time during the Corona pandemic, but is climbing back up. Walt Disney Co. is down more than -52% from its peak.
Then we have arrived at the top 5 most bought stocks by super investors in the second quarter of 2022.
5. Microsoft (MSFT)
Microsoft develops, distributes, licenses and supports a wide variety of computer-related products and services. The company was founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen on April 4, 1975 and has since grown to become one of the most iconic and best-performing companies in the world. The world-renowned Microsoft was bought in the second quarter of 2022 by 10 super investors, including Terry Smith, known for the book; Investing for Growth. Microsoft is down more than -32% from their peak.
4. Alphabet Inc. (GOOG)
In fact, Alphabet Inc, better known as Google, is twice in the top 5. Alphabet has split the business into three parts: Google Services is by far the most important business with products such as Android, YouTube, Google Search, and so on. Google Cloud, data storage. Alphabet was bought by 13 super investors last quarter, including Li Lu. Li Lu is friends with Charlie Munger and at the time advised Munger to invest in Alibaba (BABA). Alphabet is down nearly -36% from its peak. Despite the fact that many super investors buy Alphabet (GOOG) shares, $463 million worth of shares have been sold by so-called ‘insiders’ in the past 6 months. Maybe a red flag?…
3. Amazon.com (AMZN)
Amazon has had a bumpy year and is down more than -39% from its peak. Last quarter, Amazon.com was bought by 15 super investors at an average purchase price of $106 per share. Amazon has been bought by Terry Smith and Seth Klarman, among others. Strikingly, as with Alphabet, insiders have sold for $23 million in the past 6 months and none have been bought by anyone. This may also indicate that insiders expect a further decline… Nevertheless, it is a rock-solid company that still manages to grow at double digits.
2. Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL)
Also in second place is Alphabet Inc, but with the ticker symbol GOOGL. Shares traded under the ticker GOOGL are categorized as class A and GOOG shares are categorized as class C. The main difference between Google’s GOOG and GOOGL stock markets is that GOOG shares do not have voting rights while GOOGL shares do. to do. Given that Alphabet is even twice in the top 5, this could be a sign to analyze the company more closely…
1. Meta Platforms (META)
The most purchased stock in the second quarter (Q2) of 2022 is Meta Platforms (META). And if you ask me quite remarkable, since Meta Platforms has only been in the news negatively in the last few months/years. It will therefore come as no surprise that the stock has fallen by more than -67% from its high. This puts it in ‘value’ territory for super investors. A company that makes so much profit and such a low valuation can make it extremely interesting to invest in it, because the expectations are so low. Meta Platforms has been bought by no fewer than 18 super investors at an average price of $161. Do the super investors know something that we private investors do not (yet) know or is it a cat in a poke? Time will tell!
