Einhorn Sounds Alarm on Tech Valuations, Memecoin Mania

22 January 2025

Greenlight Capital’s fourth-quarter letter reveals a cautious stance on market valuations and limited exposure to the tech sector that drove 2023’s market gains. The hedge fund, which returned 7% last year, expressed concerns about Apple’s valuation multiple expansion despite stagnant revenue growth. While maintaining a defensive posture, the firm made several strategic investments, including a new position in Peloton, betting on its loyal customer base and cost-cutting potential. The fund also invested in CNH Industrial and Centene, while adjusting its portfolio by selling defense ETFs and healthcare positions in response to political changes. Notably, Einhorn criticized the cryptocurrency market’s speculative nature, comparing it to the “fartcoin stage of the market cycle,” though the fund profited from a sophisticated crypto-related trading strategy involving MicroStrategy and related ETFs.
