The latest analysis from a leading investment bank reveals a change in hedge fund strategies, with a significant focus on several stocks showing considerable momentum. The study, which examined the portfolios of 695 funds managing positions worth $3.1 trillion, indicates that many institutional investors are increasingly targeting companies within the Russell 1000 index.
Market experts suggest that the stocks attracting the most hedge fund attention have the potential to outperform competitors in the coming months. Industry observations indicate that these picks are often followed by sustained growth, reinforcing investor confidence in their long-term performance.
Robinhood (HOOD) Attracts Ongoing Institutional Interest
The digital financial services platform Robinhood has become a popular choice among hedge funds. Recent figures show that 23 new institutional investors added this stock, bringing the total coverage to 66 funds by the end of the last quarter.
This notable increase has coincided with strong performance, with the stock gaining 34.5% in 2025—a performance that significantly exceeds the modest rise in broader market indices. Analysts are optimistic, with 12 out of 19 experts recommending a buy or a strong buy and projecting an average target price of around $70, indicating a potential upside of over 40%.
Increased Interest in Coupang (CPNG)
South Korea’s prominent e-commerce firm Coupang has also seen increased institutional support. In the latest quarter, 19 additional hedge funds began investing in the company, raising the total number of institutional holders to 64.
Throughout 2025, Coupang shares rose by approximately 7.8%, and its performance over the last 12 months shows a 30% increase. Overall market sentiment remains positive, with 12 out of 15 experts advocating a buy or a strong buy. Deutsche Bank recently upgraded its outlook on Coupang, raising its target price to $28.50—a move that suggests an expected price appreciation exceeding 20%.
Hedge Funds Monitor Tesla (TSLA) Despite Recent Dip
Despite a recent decline of 27% in 2025, the electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla still commands significant attention from hedge funds. The addition of 17 new funds in the last quarter has increased the total number of institutional investors holding Tesla stock to 101.
Over the past 12 months, Tesla has performed strongly, with an overall gain of 45%. Despite increased competition in the electric vehicle market, ongoing interest from institutional investors highlights a broad belief in the company’s long-term potential.
