Daniel Sundheim's D1 Capital made significant shifts in its technology stock portfolio last quarter, notably divesting its entire stake in Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook. The hedge fund sold off over 376,000 shares, a position valued at more than $240 million, during the first quarter. This move comes as Meta experienced a more than 13% decline in the same period, marking its third consecutive losing quarter and its largest quarterly loss since 2022. While Meta shares have seen a recent rebound, D1 Capital's exit signals a strategic re-evaluation.
Beyond Meta, D1 Capital also eliminated its holdings in Synopsys and Arista Networks. The fund reduced its position in Spotify by 14%, now holding just over 340,000 shares. However, the firm demonstrated a strong conviction in Amazon, increasing its stake by over 34%. This boosted Amazon to become D1 Capital's eighth-largest holding, now worth approximately $376.5 million. Despite Amazon's 9% drop in the first quarter, its shares have since surged, climbing over 26% in the current period.
D1 Capital also strategically expanded its investments in artificial intelligence, bolstering positions in Broadcom and Nvidia. Furthermore, the fund initiated new stakes in companies such as Alphabet, ASML, and Taiwan Semiconductor. Maintaining its position as the fund's largest holding, Instacart was valued at $845 million, with Sundheim serving on its board since 2020.
