The current stock favorites of the professionals
Handelsblatt evaluated the portfolios of the 1,000 investors with the highest investment amounts who had reported fewer than 250 positions to the SEC as of June 30, 2025. This is intended to exclude providers of particularly broadly diversified ETF funds.
The tech sector continues to dominate the portfolios as the most important industry. At 21.8%, the share rose again to its highest level since the end of 2024. The financial sector follows in second place with 14.5%. The healthcare sector and real estate shares have lost much of their importance. Both were represented in the portfolios at the end of July with just under 5% less weighting.
Many professional investors took shares in Microsoft $MSFT (+0,78 %) Amazon $AMZN (-0,02 %) , Alphabet $GOOGL (+0 %) and Nvidia $NVDA (-3,36 %) into their portfolios or increased their weighting. Tesla $TSLA (-1,21 %) also made strong gains. A quarter of institutional investors had Elon Musk's company in their portfolios at the end of July.
Of the major tech stocks, only Apple $AAPL (+0,66 %) clearly shows weaknesses. The average share of the iPhone manufacturer in the professional portfolios fell by almost 20 percent to 5.3 percent.
Smaller software companies have also moved the portfolios. Handelsblatt has calculated the fastest-growing portfolio positions among the 100 largest tech companies.
According to the report, the most hotly traded tech climber at the moment is Samsara $IOT which produces networked solutions for industrial means of production, including networking and tracking trucks. The number of shares in the Californian company in the portfolios increased sevenfold in the second quarter. The cybersecurity provider Crowdstrike $CRWD (-6,67 %) from Texas also made strong gains.
The most important investments outside of tech companies
Alongside the tech giants, the list of the most important companies is headed by Visa $V (-0,35 %) and Broadcom $AVGO (-0,56 %) followed by Johnson & Johnson $JNJ (+0,31 %) and Mastercard $MA (-0,11 %) and Eli Lilly $LLY (+0,04 %)
New among the 20 most important investments after the Mag Seven is the accounting software provider Intuit $INTU (+1,07 %).

My depot for discussion: Looking for honest feedback!
Hello community,
I would like to present my revised portfolio strategy to you today and am looking forward to your opinions and constructive feedback. I am pursuing a core-satellite approach.
The core (approx. 40%):
My foundation for long-term and stable asset accumulation. Here I rely on the MSCI World and the Nasdaq 100 in order to participate in global economic growth in a broadly diversified manner. Simple, cost-effective and proven.
The satellites (approx. 60%):
Here I pursue clear, thesis-based investments in individual stocks. These can be divided into six thematic clusters:
1. the AI infrastructure (cloud, data & security):
My biggest bet. I believe that the real winners of the AI revolution are the companies that provide the foundation.
Positions:
Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, Snowflake, Datadog.
2. the fintech revolution in emerging markets:
The disruption of traditional banking in populous and digitally savvy regions.
Positions:
MercadoLibre, Nu Holdings.
3. global champions & turnarounds:
Here I bundle global market leaders that I consider undervalued or that are on the verge of a comeback.
Positions:
Alibaba, BYD. For me, these are not speculative gambles, but counter-cyclical bets on dominance in their respective markets.
4. industrial excellence & luxury brands:
A bet on undisputed market leaders in highly profitable niches with strong moats - from armor to high-tech automation to luxury sports cars and one of the best investors of all time.
Positions: Rheinmetall, Ferrari, Berkshire Hathaway, Keyence.
5. future technologies & energy:
The thesis here is clear: more AI and more data centers require massively more energy.
Positions:
The Uranium ETF, Iris Energy, American Lithium.
6. megatrends: health & sustainability:
Investments in global market leaders that benefit from two unstoppable social developments: demographic change and the need for a circular economy.
PositionsNovo Nordisk, Tomra Systems.
My question to the Getquin community:
What is your opinion on this strategy and allocation?

Aug 13 / Let’s Talk About Cybersecurity
$FTNT (+0,33 %) — The Legacy Play in My Portfolio
Fortinet is the cybersecurity equivalent of a bouncer who not only guards the door but also built the entire club from scratch, with proprietary tools he has designed over decades. Fortinet became famous with its FortiGate firewalls, powered by its custom-made chips, which allow the company to undercut prices through ownership of the value chain.
Over time, the company has evolved and created various applications in the cybersecurity environment, and the best thing is that they can offer clients the entire package – from network security to endpoint protection – without piecing together products from multiple vendors. Simplicity – something every company values and Fortinet perfected.
You don’t need the entire package? No problem. Fortinet’s other strength lies in its flexibility. Whether you want protection for your data center, basic virtual appliances, or completely cloud-delivered FortiSASE, Fortinet has you covered and can customize its product range to your needs. The big obstacle is the crowdedness of the cybersecurity space, where every company needs to prove consistently that it can keep up the pace.
Fortinet is a great one-stop shop for cybersecurity and well-established in the industry, but competition is fierce, which you always need to monitor. I believe in the company and think that we have a nice opportunity on our hands after the recent sell off.
$S (+3 %)
— The Innovator for the Watchlist
Now we enter uncharted territory. A company I don’t own, even though I find it highly interesting. Funnily enough, it’s very much the opposite of Fortinet, which might explain its appeal: while Fortinet’s empire was built on hardware performance and a fully integrated platform, SentinelOne is a pure-play software assassin that lives in the cloud and on endpoints. Arguably the faster growing part of the cybersecurity sector, though this also comes with the major downside of uncertainty.
SentinelOne’s platform impresses with superior endpoint protection and utilizes AI to prevent, detect and respond to threats automatically. The company is a software-only play that boasts massive growth, though still unprofitable.
I don’t think the investment case for SentinelOne is as straightforward, since the company hasn’t fully established itself yet, but there is a case to be made that this could become one of the cybersecurity leaders in an AI-dominated world. While I am currently on the sidelines on this one, I could imagine an entry around $15.

GROWTH TECH: Sales growth & forward P/S ratio
The price/sales ratio (P/S) relative to sales growth is a one-dimensional view, but nevertheless provides a good initial overview:
Table = sorted in descending order by market capitalization
Which companies do you see as having the greatest potential in the next 5 years?

And a second value that I find interesting
these are $CHKP (+1,69 %) !
Check Point Software is back - and how! In an industry characterized by AI-driven dynamics, cloud shifts and geopolitical nervousness, the Israeli veteran of IT security is impressing with an explosive triad: a solid balance sheet, aggressive share buybacks and a high-growth subscription model. While competitors such as Palo Alto and CrowdStrike sacrifice their margins to expansion, Check Point manages to strike a balance between innovation and profitability. With Quantum Force, a new hardware line was established, the firewalls modernized and the customer base reactivated - 14 percent growth in license sales speaks for itself. The transformation to a subscription-based provider is particularly exciting: 43 percent of sales already come from recurring revenues and free cash flow is over one billion dollars a year. Debt? Not a thing. But almost three billion dollars in cash and a buyback program that is driving up EPS and valuation. Even a conservative multiplication results in a share price potential of 10 to 20 percent - with a view to the market position and the valuation delta to industry giants, there is even more potential. Analysts are forecasting a peak price potential for the next twelve months that is 40 percent higher than the current price level. Yes, the risks are real: SaaS transition, strong competition, integration effort. But anyone looking to add a balanced, high-margin cybersecurity investment with technical strength and a fundamental underpinning to their portfolio will now find a rare opportunity with Check Point.
Check Point's share price has risen by an impressive 1,150% since 2009 - this corresponds to an average annual price increase of around 16%. In the past two years, the upward momentum has accelerated even further. The share price could currently be on the verge of reaching a new all-time high. Since the end of January, the share price has been moving sideways between 207 and 234 dollars. The previous record high of 234 dollars was reached at the beginning of June. If the breakout into new chart territory is successful, this would result in an initial price target of USD 254 based on volatility. In the medium term, a rise to the round USD 300 mark would even be conceivable. Despite the very promising prospects, existing positions should definitely be hedged with a stop at 202 dollars
Among the four cybersecurity stocks alongside $CHKP (+1,69 %) yet $FTNT (+0,33 %) , $PANW (+1,21 %) and $CRWD (-6,67 %) Fortinet stands out in particular with an impressive 12-month performance of 72%. The performance of the three competitors was less spectacular, but remained positive. Check Point achieved a plus of 28%, with the majority of this increase being attributable to a dynamic upward movement in January. In view of the solid fundamental starting position, the next price surge could now be imminent. A look at the comparison table confirms this: Check Point is clearly ahead in terms of key figures. The profit growth forecast for the coming years is also in the double-digit percentage range. Analysts therefore currently put the share price potential at around 40 percent - with a target price of 300 dollars!
And here, too, I am prepared for a derivative entry with JF8Y3G. Of course, this is not an investment recommendation. But why shouldn't they surprise positively with the figures. It is very important to note that the following applies to both of the bills presented today: only enter after 3:30 p.m., as there are no fair prices before then.
Check Point is in some federal agencies such as the Bundestag.
Bullish on worldwide security sector
Dear community,
So first I feel like I have to inform that I'm a young engineering student who lives very modest as to hopefully make wealth in the long-term future and is very investment heavy (over 95% of my net worth is invested rn), so I do like to take risks from time to time, though I'm trying to keep it in check. I have had some interest in the $LOCK (+1,48 %) etf for quite a while now and I still feel like there is great potential for growth here. I initially invested at a average price of €8.80 in late 2024 and have a order open for coming monday as at a expected price of €8.17 roughly.
Eventhough I will really just be timing the market, I feel like the recent price drop from last week makes way for a excellent buying oppurtunity to reduce average purchasing price.
I think that with the incorporation of increasingly more comple LLM's and AI's and the strong demand from worldwide governments we will see many developments in this sector the coming years.
Though I could choose to buy individual positions such as $CRWD (-6,67 %) (Crowdstrike) and $PANW (+1,21 %) (Palo Alto Net.) could be attractive, simply adding this etf to my portfolio would reduce complexity and risks.
That being said I'm really interested in other peoples opinion on this etf and general views on the developments in the digital secturity space!
I m working as IT Auditor in a large Austrian Bank an IT Sec will be more important than ever.
Imo the next wars will be through the cyber channel
🛡 CrowdStrike in focus
18.07.2024: Panic crash due to Microsoft error → + opportunity.
19.07.2024: First entry at ~$295.
04.04.2025 & 07.04.2025: Follow-up purchases at $326 & $323.
Today: +43 % - thanks to clear thesis & market leadership.
✅ Endpoint security & XDR
✅ SaaS + AI + high customer loyalty
✅ Global growth plan
No short-term hype, but long-term infrastructure investment.



+ 1

is Crowdstrike your favorite in the cybersecurity industry?
I also had a look at Fortinet, which also appealed to me.
Palo Alto Networks is also strongly represented.
