Whale Rock Capital Management is gaining attention after another strong quarter, supported by a distinctive mix of investments. Alphabet is identified as the top holding, benefiting from dominance across the AI stack including models, applications, hardware, and energy. The Alphabet position has risen sharply over the past year and received additional support from Berkshire Hathaway through increased stake. Whale Rock also trimmed profits from several high-performing stocks, including Sandisk, Celestica, and Corning, while adding to Alphabet. Advanced Energy Industries is presented as an intriguing Q1 pick, with the most exciting element being the new buys made despite prior large gains.
"Whale Rock Capital is on quite a run Of course, Alphabet ( NASDAQ:GOOG | GOOG Price Prediction) has been the Mag Seven stock that's been the envy of the other six. Even as the shares cool off after an intriguing I/O 2026 event, questions linger as to whether the $4.7 trillion titan has what it takes to go for that top spot. I think it does, as it looks to dominate each and every layer of the AI stack from models and applications to hardware and even energy. The stock is now up 123% in the past year and has won even more investment from Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway ( NYSE:BRK.B), which added to its stake heavily last quarter."
"While the Alphabet position shines as Whale Rock's top holding, at least as of the end of the first quarter, it's the names below it that stand out as even more impressive. Whale Rock added to its Alphabet position in the latest quarter while taking profits off the table of some of the other, more-heated winners, including Sandisk ( NASDAQ:SNDK), Celestica ( NASDAQ:CLS), and Corning ( NASDAQ:GLW), some of the hottest stocks in the entire market right now, up 3,975%, 200%, and 295%, respectiely, in the past year. Indeed, the Alphabet position was quite hot, but it's the other names in the Whale Rock fund that have been blistering-hot."
"After such multi-bagger moves, I think it's only wise to take some chips off the table (no pun intended). Of course, the hot names remain in significant positions, even after the latest round of Q1 trimming. What's most exciting for investors, of course, are the buys made"
