CNBC Halftime Report Final Trades: Alphabet, Servicenow, CNX Resources, Garmin

While Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) is an AI darling of the stock market, hedge funds had their sights elsewhere in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/hedge-funds">fourth quarter of 2024</a>.
According to the latest 13F Heat Map for Technology stocks from WhaleWisdom.com, these were the five stocks that saw the most significant inflows from institutional investors:

<ul>
<li>The Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>): Sometimes, the simplest move is the smartest one. Instead of betting on a single stock, hedge funds loaded up on XLK, a tech-heavy ETF that offers exposure to industry giants like Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT( and Apple Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aapl#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) . With tech leading the market rally, this broad bet makes sense for institutions looking to ride the wave without taking on single-stock risk.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>): Cybersecurity remains a high-growth sector, and CrowdStrike is leading the charge. The company's cloud-based security platform has made it a go-to for enterprises battling ever-evolving cyber threats. Hedge funds piled in, betting on the increasing demand for AI-driven security solutions.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>): Love it or hate it, Palantir has been one of the most polarizing stocks in recent years. Hedge funds, however, seem to be firmly in the &#8220;love it&#8221; camp. The company's dominance in AI-driven data analytics, particularly in government and enterprise contracts, has kept institutional money flowing in.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>ServiceNow Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>): Digital transformation isn't slowing down, and neither is ServiceNow. Its AI-powered workflow automation platform is becoming a staple for enterprises looking to streamline operations. Hedge funds are betting big that ServiceNow remains a critical player in the software-as-a-service (SaaS) boom.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Microsoft: It's no surprise that Big Tech still commands attention. Microsoft, a leader in AI, cloud computing, and enterprise software, continues to be a hedge fund favorite. With Azure maintaining its strong growth and the company deeply entrenched in AI innovation, institutions aren't hesitating to increase their stakes.</li>
</ul>
While Nvidia has been the face of the AI revolution, hedge funds diversified their bets in the fourth quarter, favoring a mix of cybersecurity, software, and tech-heavy ETFs. 
Whether this shift signals a more balanced approach to tech investing or just a strategic hedge, one thing is clear—institutions aren't putting all their chips on a single AI stock.

5 Top Tech Stocks Hedge Funds Have Been Bullish On In Q4 (Hint: It's Not Nvidia)

Benchmark analyst Cody Acree reiterated Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) with a Buy and a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMD/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">$170&nbsp;price target</a>.
Acree recently hosted AMD&#8217;s Jean Hu, CFO, for a discussion with investors. He came away with further conviction in AMD&#8217;s strong fundamental position, its increasing competitiveness in the AI market, and its continued market share gains in both the Client and Server markets versus Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>).

The analyst noted a focus on the company&#8217;s AI ramp of its next-generation MI350 GPU with a pulled-ahead schedule of mid-year 2025 versus the prior schedule of the second half. With the transition, AMD expects first-half 2025 Data Center revenue to be flat due to softer seasonality and its Instinct revenue to be flat as customers wait for the launch of the new platform.
AMD broadly expects MI350 to be much more directly competitive with Nvidia Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) Blackwell, with MI400 likely to be technically competitive with Rubin. Nvidia&#8217;s Blackwell delays and accelerated move-up of the MI350 launch proved that AMD is closing the competitive gap.
AMD noted ASICs only make up about 20% of the total AI silicon opportunity, thereby remaining adamant about not changing its focus priority from its primary GPU roadmap.
The analyst said that the company&#8217;s Client business continues to look solid as AMD gains market share momentum in both the Desktop and Notebook markets.
At a high level, for 2025, AMD is forecasting its PC TAM to grow by a mid-single-digit percentage year-on-year. However, based on the breadth of its client CPU portfolio and strong design win momentum, the company expects to grow its Client segment revenue well ahead of the market.
While the company expects its Client business to see normal first-quarter softer seasonality, in 2025, it is benefiting from its first win at Dell Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>) in the commercial client space.
In the server market, AMD continues to benefit from the strong adoption of its Gen 4 and new Gen 5 designs.
The company is seeing its EPYC processors gaining traction thanks to Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), Dell, and Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>).
Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Amazon Web Services, Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google, Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) launched over 100 AMD general-purpose and AI instances in just the fourth quarter.
In the fourth quarter, EPYC CPU sales grew by a strong double-digit percentage annually, thanks to high-volume deployments with ServiceNow Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>), Verizon Communications Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>), Visa Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>), and others. Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) exclusively used MI300X to power their Llama 405B frontier model on meta.ai.
Microsoft leveraged MI300X to power multiple GPT-4-based Copilot services.
With over 100 customer engagements in AI, AMD expanded its ROCm software suite.
International Business Machines Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>), DigitalOcean Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOCN#NYSE">DOCN</a>), and several other AI-focused Cloud Service Providers have begun deploying AMD Instinct accelerators for new instances. IBM also announced plans to enable MI300X on their watsonx.ai and data platform for training and deploying enterprise-ready generative AI applications.
AMD began volume production of MI325X in the fourth quarter. MI325 delivers significant performance and TCO advantages compared to competitive offerings, including H100.
AMD has passed key milestones and received unconditional regulatory approvals regarding its acquisition of ZT Systems. Additionally, AMD expects to divest ZT Systems&#8217; data center infrastructure production capabilities.
While industry capacity will likely remain tight, AMD noted it has successfully secured sufficient wafer capacity to support its customers&#8217; planned ramps through the end of this year and into 2026.
Price Action: AMD stock is up 1.10% at $114.35 at the last check on Tuesday.

12 Information Technology Stocks Moving In Thursday's Pre-Market Session

Wall Street is struggling to find risk-on momentum, with major indexes stuck near the flatline at midday as investors assess the latest earnings reports from mega-cap tech stocks and weaker-than-expected U.S. economic growth in the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/43336153/us-economy-grows-below-q4-estimates-as-consumer-spending-hits-7-quarter-high"> final quarter of 2024.</a>
After Tuesday's rally — which followed a selloff triggered by DeepSeek&#8217;s impact earlier in the week — caution has taken hold, signaling the wounds from the downturn are still fresh.

Despite reporting overall stronger-than-expected earnings, Microsoft&#8217;s cloud segment, Azure, fell short of growth expectations, and the company slightly missed its revenue guidance for the ongoing quarter.
In contrast, Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) climbed 1.7% post-earnings, reaching new all-time highs.
Another major laggard was United Parcel Service Inc.

The U.S. dollar and bond yields remained stable following the Federal Reserve's decision Wednesday to keep interest rates unchanged at 4.25%-4.5%.
Among commodities, precious metals stood out, with gold rising 1.4% to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/01/43348204/gold-hits-record-high-as-central-banks-ease-stance-5-mining-stocks-rally">new all-time highs </a>and silver climbing 2.4%.

私たちの人工知能プラットフォームとしての存在意義は成長、合理化、デジタル化の新たなベクトルを求めるCEOたちにとってこれまで以上に強い。ServiceNowはその中垓をなすGenAIを活用して、あらゆる業界のすべての会社の業務プロセスを再発明するつもりだ。
ServiceNowは、AIによる自己サービスを通じて顧客体験を共同で向上させるための戦略的なコミットメントを発表した。また、同社は電気通信およびテクノロジー業界向けのデジタルおよびネットワークサービスのの先駆者であるProdaptへの戦略投資を発表した。

IBM（NYSE：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>）のCEOアビンド・クリシュナ（Arvind Krishna）氏は、企業がAIの利用において大きな転換を予報し、同技術が実際にビジネスの成果をもたらすだろうと指摘しています。この発言は、同社のAIの予約が10億ドルを超えたことに関連しています。
クリシュナ氏は、第1四半期2024決算の電話会議中、特に生産性の向上と顧客体験を伝播する点において、グローバル経済における技術の重要性が増していると強調しました。
同CEOは、AIの実装に対する企業の関心が高まっていることも強調し、今後は顧客がAIの利益を生かすために実験から本格的な展開に移行すると予想しています。IBMのAI提供はコンサルティングサービスによって主に支えられた10億ドルを超えるビジネス収入を生み出しています。
クリシュナ氏は、AIおよびハイブリッドクラウドの成長を推進するための重要なパートナーシップを強調しました。その中には、AI機能とデジタルトランスフォーメーションを強化するために、NVIDIA（NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>）や、ServiceNow Inc（NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>）との提携も含まれています。また、Adobe Inc（NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>）のExperienceプラットフォーム内に、OpenShiftとwatsonxを追加しました。
クリシュナ氏は「今四半期、業界のリーダー企業と戦略的なパートナーシップを多く進展させ、NVIDIAとのコンサルティング業務を通じて、お客様のAIによる成長を加速させることが出来た」と述べています。
IBMのwatsonxプラットフォームを中心に据えた包括的なAI戦略は、お客様がAIをスケールさせるために設計されています。このプラットフォームは、IBMおよびサードパーティのモデルの両方を組み込んだAIソリューションを構築することができます。また、クライアントがAI戦略において自社のハードウェア投資を活用する際に、会社のインフラセグメントが果たしている役割も重要です。
IBMのAI処理からAIアクセラレーターカードまでのフルスタックアプローチは、どんなプラットフォーム上でのモデル構築とトレーニングを容易にするために設計されており、IBM Zでの簡単な展開が可能です。また、AI推論をリアルタイムに行うことができる、独自の機能であるTelumチップも内蔵されています。
また、IBMはAIを中心としたオープンイノベーションエコシステムにも関心を示しており、最近ではスペイン政府や他の業界リーダー企業とも提携を結んでいます。同社は引き続き、量子コンピューティングなどの新興技術への投資を続け、ポートフォリオ最適化に焦点を当てています。
IBMの2024年第1四半期決算電話会議は、年間収益は14.46億ドルの1％増であると発表されたものの、利益率が市場予想を下回る<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/04/38416255/ibm-q1-earnings-revenue-miss-eps-beat-hashicorp-acquisition-ai-strategy-strength-and-more">決算発表に続いて行われました</a>。同社のAI戦略と強みは、このような財務業績の中でも重要な要因として見られています。
IBMのAIに対する関心は古くからで、同社はAI分野で積極的に活動してきました。同社は、オープンAIモデルの推進から、50を超えるAI企業および研究機関とのオープンAI推進イニシアチブに<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36085130/meta-ibm-and-over-50-ai-companies-join-forces-in-open-ai-advocacy-initiative">協力</a>してきました。同社のAIへのこのようなコミットメントが、第1四半期の業績および今後の見通しに反映されています。
