Fund manager who sold Tesla, just in time, says investors are overlooking these tech bargains
Two weeks ago, Wall Street veteran Gary Black sold his remaining Tesla shares, helping clients sidestep a selloff driven by a public fallout between Chief Executive Elon Musk and President Donald Trump. Black's unease with Tesla TSLA goes back a ways. When the managing partner of The Future Fund launched the One Global ETF FFND in August 2021, he snapped up Tesla, which quickly became the biggest position. By the second quarter of 2022, he began to trim as Musk started cutting electric-vehicle prices. Why Goldman Sachs says high-flying tech stocks may be headed for a tough stretch 'It might be another Apple or Microsoft': My wife invested $100K in one stock and it exploded 1,500%. Do we sell? U.S. debt-limit deadlock is making this favorite asset more scarce My friend, 83, wants to add me to his bank account to pay his bills. What could go wrong? One of our children has legal knowledge and lives far away, the other lacks financial savvy but lives nearby. Who should we appoint as executor? 'We didn't think that was a smart move. It turned out not to be a smart move, because they didn't get any incremental volume,' Black told MarketWatch in an interview on Monday. His Tesla haircuts continued, peppered by such worries as 'hype around unsupervised autonomy,' and when he finally exited it completely at $358 per share, valuation had gotten 'excessive.' Tesla shares need to be priced 'a lot less than they are today' for Black to repurchase. 'I don't want to call this stock uninvestable because at some price we would buy it back again, but with that level of volatility it almost makes the stock uninvestable at times,' he said, adding that Musk needs to 'keep his mouth closed and focus on the business.' Black, whose nearly 30-year career includes stints as CEO of Aegon Asset Management and Janus Capital, and his firm look after about $72 million in One Global, and the Long/Short ETF FFLS, roughly $49 million. One Global has returned 6.5% this year and 15% over three years, annualized, according to Morningstar, versus its MSCI All Country World Index benchmark returns of 7.3% and 14.3%, respectively. Black is now focused on what he sees as big tech bargains, such as Nvidia NVDA. The company's stock-picking process begins with 'ten long-term circular mega trends,' such as e-commerce, 24/7 information technology and, of course, artificial intelligence. 'We like the AI road map in front of [Nvidia] and they still can't make enough of their high-end AI chips. They continue to have extremely high demand for it, and they're still capacity constrained,' he said. Tesla, even with its recent decline, is still trading at 150 times forward earnings, while Nvidia sits at around 32 times, but is growing earnings, Black said. 'If you look at price-to-earnings relative to growth, which is how we think about the world, in a simplistic way, it's still reasonably cheap.' Meta META is also a big position. 'We like the growth we're seeing in Instagram and Facebook and WhatsApp. Again, the stock has done well, but it's still a very cheap stock,' trading at about 27 times earnings, he said. Then there's AMZN, and its vastly expanded offerings. 'You can buy prescription drugs over it now. You can buy tires, you can buy cars. It's become the go-to place if you want to buy anything,' and at around 35 times forward earnings, is now far less expensive, he said. He also flags DoorDash DASH. 'People don't have the time to make their own food anymore, so they order from the restaurants they love and [DoorDash] has gotten more and more restaurants on the platform, and as a result of that, the stock has done extremely well,' he said. Like Nvidia, DoorDash is reasonably priced, trading at 54 times forward earning, he said. His short bets in the Long/Short ETF, are about either poorly positioned companies or companies facing disruption. Those include Booking Holdings BKNG, which is in a 'very competitive business,' he said. 'We don't really see the proprietary technology to allow that to continue to gain share, so we decided that was a good short.' Fintech group Sofi Technologies SOFI is another. 'They've expanded their loans. and we just worry that they've grown too fast. and that's why it's a decent short we believe.' As the S&P 500 SPX continues to push past 6,000, Black says he's still bullish on the market overall, with expectations the Fed will likely to start cutting interest rates, though not as fast as Trump would like. 'I think what has happened because of the tariffs, the odds are you are going to have a first rate cut by September now,' he said. What else worries Black? He points to concerning 'pockets' of the market currently, such as the blockbuster Circle CRCL IPO, of which they didn't take part. 'We have stocks that are trading at very high multiples that aren't related to their earnings growth. We're always wary, especially in the growth space, that you've got speculative excess, and I think there are areas where people are just getting overly exuberant about prospects. And that's always negative,' said Black. Read: 'Big Money' turns bullish on stocks. Will that lead the S&P 500 to a 'melt up'?
