Best Mutual Funds Shun Nvidia, Microsoft. They got up and went to GoDaddy.

Recent market tremors have rocked Magnificent Seven’s shares Microsoft (MSFT) And Nvidia (NVDA) from their recent spot at the peak of demand among leading money managers. A new name — GoDaddy (GDDY) – have risen to take their place at the top of the latest list of new buys by the best mutual funds.

Both Nvidia and Microsoft have turned this monthly screen on and off at different times this year. Microsoft led in July and took the crown from Nvidia, which ruled in June.

GoDaddy, an Internet domain seller and provider of related services to millions of small businesses, registered its name at the top of the list in August. Top mutual fund managers scooped up more than $2 billion worth of GDDY stock. Such demand has sent GoDaddy soaring to record highs.

GE Aviation (GE), which was featured in the IBD Stock Analysis on August 2, and a cryptocurrency powerhouse Coinbase worldwide (MINT) also made the list. These smart fund managers put $445 million into GE stock and $326 million into COIN stock.

Software, defense and artificial intelligence company Palantir Technologies (PLTR) joined the party with a capital influx of $248 million. Palantir shares have been on the list of new purchases by top funds every month except June this year.

Neither Nvidia, Microsoft, nor any of the other Magnificent Seven stocks even appeared on this month’s list. With the exception of Metaplatforms (META), all Mag 7 names remain stuck below their 10-week moving averages. Apple (AAPL) is close to recapturing that benchmark.

The Construction Industry Expands as Nvidia and Mag 7 Stocks Go Bankrupt

For most of this year, the construction sector has been heavily represented on every monthly list of new purchases by the top mutual funds. And as Nvidia, Microsoft and other AI powerhouses continue to reveal bigger cracks and disappear from this screen, 28 building stocks have secured a spot in the August report.

DR Horton is just one of ten housebuilders next door Pulte Group (PHM), Toll brothers (TOLL) And Lennar (LEN).

In the wider construction sector: air conditioning and heating company Lennox (LII) and supplier of construction products TopBuild (BLD) come to cement manufacturer Eagle materials (EXP) and others have laid a solid foundation for the question.
