JFrog stock rises as Cantor Fitzgerald maintains Overweight rating after strong Q2
Viking Global Investors, a U.S.-based hedge fund, disclosed a significant new investment in aerospace giant Boeing Co (NYSE:BA), purchasing 2.9 million shares valued at approximately $526 million, according to a Reuters report.
The acquisition occurred in the fourth quarter, as revealed by a regulatory filing. Boeing stock has risen 3.92% year to date, despite being 30% below its peak value in December 2023.
Boeing has faced challenges in reviving production due to a strike and an accident that sparked safety concerns. However, in January, the company's shares saw a rally after announcing progress in stabilizing production, despite reporting an $11.8 billion loss.
Viking Global also increased its investments in the financial sector, notably doubling its stake in JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) to 7.5 million shares, making it the hedge fund's largest holding at $1.8 billion as of the end of December. Positions in Bank of America and Charles Schwab (NYSE:SCHW) also surpassed the $1 billion mark.
Other investors are also betting on Boeing's recovery, with Soros Fund Management upping its stake and Discovery (NASDAQ:WBD) Capital Management initiating a new position. Additionally, Viking Global showed confidence in the automotive industry by taking a new stake in General Motors (NYSE:GM), acquiring 2.6 million shares worth $137.4 million.
These investments were disclosed in 13F filings, which provide a glimpse into the holdings of hedge funds and other institutional investors at the quarter's end. These filings do not reveal the precise timing of transactions and may not represent current holdings.
