All anyone in the Wall Street could talk about in 2023 was recession and AI. With rate hikes slowly but surely coming in the rear view, long-term investors are keen to see what course the AI boom would take from here and how the mind-numbing technological advances would affect various sectors. While algorithmic trading and quant hedge funds have been around for years if not decades, using AI to pick stocks in becoming more common by the day after the launch of ChatGPT and other generative AI tools.

Here is what Baron FinTech Fund has to say about Block, Inc. (NYSE:SQ) in its Q3 2023 investor letter:
“Block, Inc. provides point-of-sale technology to small businesses and operates the Cash App ecosystem of financial services for individuals. Shares fell due to a confluence of factors, including slowing growth, a brief system outage, and the departure of a key executive who ran the Square business segment. Ongoing investor concerns over consumer spending and a recession did not help sentiment. Nevertheless, Block reported strong quarterly results with 27% gross profit growth and adjusted EBITDA more than doubling. We believe Block’s businesses are resilient, and greater management focus on cost discipline should drive further margin expansion. We continue to own the stock due to Block’s long runway for growth, durable competitive advantages, and track record of innovation.”
12. Shopify Inc (NYSE:SHOP)
Number of Hedge Fund Investors: 69
ChatGPT believes Shopify Inc (NYSE:SHOP) is continuing to gain “traction” because of a broader rise in online sales and ecommerce.

Alger Mid Cap Focus Fund made the following comment about Shopify Inc. (NYSE:SHOP) in its Q3 2023 investor letter:
“Shopify Inc. (NYSE:SHOP) operates a cloud-based commerce platform designed for small and medium-sized businesses. Its software is used by merchants to run business across all sales channels, including web, tablet and mobile storefronts, social media storefronts, and brick-and-mortar and pop-up shops. The firm’s platform provides merchants with a single view of business and customers and enables them to manage products and inventory, process orders and payments, build customer relationships and leverage analytics and reporting. While the company’s shares nearly doubled in the first half of 2023, market sentiment deteriorated towards unprofitable technology companies during the third quarter, as shares detracted from performance. Despite the share price decline, we continue to remain positive on the company’s asset-light model within the vast eCommerce market and believe that we are in the early innings of the company’s renowned focus on operational efficiency and profitability.”

Wedgewood Partners made the following comment about PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL) in its Q3 2023 investor letter:
“PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL) was a detractor from performance during the quarter. Total payment volume grew +11% while revenues grew +8% – both FX-neutral. Adjusted operating earnings grew +20%. E-commerce industry sales trends have normalized back to their pre-pandemic trend of growth, with high-margin branded payments keeping track with the industry. Despite this, investors continue to be concerned that PayPal’s fast-growing private-label payments solutions will dilute Company returns. However, payments is a very scalable business, and the Company will be able to manage both private label and branded for attractive returns and double-digit growth. While multiples in the payment industry have significantly compressed, especially after the multi-year process of being added to the index @inancial sector, PayPal’s businesses are substantially different enough from traditional spread-based businesses; in addition to possessing much more compelling growth drivers, PayPal’s well below market multiple should revert to its higher, historical average.”
10. Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA)
Number of Hedge Fund Investors: 81

Here is what White Brook Capital has to say about Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) in its Q3 2023 investor letter:
“The magnificent seven, that underpin the S&P 500 performance, which includes Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), now comprise almost 30% of the market capitalization of the S&P500. At least three of the seven stocks have heightened downside risk and suffer from already high penetration, weakening end markets, competitive risk, and lofty valuation. They have been remarkably resilient to increased interest rates and the potential for slowing growth. Small and midcap stocks, on the other hand, have been systemically penalized by fears of recession and continue to price that eventuality even as significantly better outcomes have become more probable. Today, it’s relatively easy to find attractive investments in this segment.”
9. Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ)
Number of Hedge Fund Investors: 84
Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) is a strong company due to its consistent dividend increases and a diversified pipeline.

ClearBridge Large Cap Value Strategy made the following comment about Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) in its Q3 2023 investor letter:
“The health care space provided some opportunities in the quarter, as we increased our exposure to medical device company Becton, Dickinson as well as large cap pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ). Johnson & Johnson recently spun out its consumer health care business, becoming a more focused yet broadly diversified pharmaceutical and medtech company.”
8. Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:NFLX)
Number of Hedge Fund Investors: 102
ChatGPT thinks Netflix Inc’s (NASDAQ:NFLX) original content and its global subscriber base makes the stock worth holding for the next few years.
Analysts believe the ads industry is set to experience strong growth in 2024 amid rate cuts. This could help companies like Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:NFLX) which depends on ads, albeit partially, for revenue.
In November, Bank of America’s global research team added Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:NFLX) to its list of tier-1 collection of best investment ideas.
“The US 1 list is intended to represent a collection of our best investment ideas that are drawn from the universe of Buy-rated, US-listed stocks (including ADRs), covered by BofA Global Research fundamental equity research analysts,” BofA analysts said.
Carillon Clarivest Capital Appreciation Fund made the following comment about Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) in its Q3 2023 investor letter:
“During the third quarter of 2023, an underweight to real estate and an overweight to healthcare helped performance, while an overweight to information technology and an underweight to energy detracted. Stock selection was strong within information technology and consumer staples but was weak within financials and communication services. Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX), the internet streaming subscription service company, missed expectations. That suggested the company’s crackdown on pass-word sharing has yet to deliver the sales growth analysts expect.”
7. Adobe Inc (NASDAQ:ADBE)
Number of Hedge Fund Investors: 112
ChatGPT said Adobe Inc’s (NASDAQ:ADBE) dominance in the design tools market and its prospects of Cloud subscriptions make it a stock to buy and hold to get rich in the next five years, according to ChatGPT. But there’s another, stronger growth catalyst for the stock that ChatGPT failed to mention: AI. Adobe Inc (NASDAQ:ADBE) is rigorously integrating AI features with its tools.

The general availability of our generative AI Firefly models and their integrations across Creative Cloud drove tremendous customer excitement with over 4.5 billion generations since launch in March.
The release of three new Firefly models, Firefly Image two model, Firefly Vector model, and Firefly Design model, offering highly differentiated levels of control with Effects, Photo Settings, and Generative Match. We also introduced Generative Credits as part of our Creative Cloud subscription plans. The general availability of Photoshop Generative Fill and Generative Expand which are seeing record adoption, they’re already among the most used features in the product. Advances in Adobe Illustrator with the introduction of Text to Vector beta enabling users to generate icons, scenes, subjects, patterns, gradients. Adobe Premiere Pro advances include a significant performance improvement in the timeline for faster and smoother editing, new color preferences, and improved tone mapping.

Here is what Polen Global Growth has to say about Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:ADBE) in its Q3 2023 investor letter:
“Both Alphabet and Adobe’s businesses continue to perform well. With respect to Adobe, the most recent quarter delivered more of the same with constant currency revenue growing 13%, margin expansion, and over 2% of shares outstanding repurchased for non-GAAP earnings growth of over 20%. We believe its approach to GenAI through Firefly, which guarantees safe content because it trains on Adobe Stock, will continue to be attractive to enterprises. The counter to GenAI, and something we are keeping an eye on with Alphabet and Adobe, is that it requires heavy investment. While both businesses can leverage their scale and manage costs in other areas, we expect the investment in future growth through GenAI will weigh on company-wide margins over the near term.”
6. Salesforce Inc (NYSE:CRM)

“Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:CRM), a company we’ve owned since 2019, recently added ChatGPT-like capabilities onto its existing Al module, Einstein, to support its internal sales efforts and customer-facing software. For example, Einstein GPT can help generate marketing emails tailored to specific clients by using Salesforce’s customer database and past email correspondence to learn the most effective approach for each client. Einstein GPT is also different from off-the-shelf LLMS in three important ways: It keeps personal identifiable information private and secure, compared with external tools that retain anything a user enters. It employs the latest data in Salesforce’s system, as opposed to the sometimes-stale public data that train generic models. And generative Al capabilities can be integrated with other Salesforce offerings; the company has already introduced Slack GPT and Tableau GPT, Al-equipped versions of its workplace collaboration and analytics tools.”
