Ken Griffin has the distinction of being one of history's most successful investors. The billionaire founded and leads Citadel Advisors -- the most profitable hedge fund of all time.
While not all of Griffin and Citadel's trades are immediately made public, disclosure requirements from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) mean that the hedge fund's holdings are disclosed quarterly through 13F filings. Read on for a look at Citadel's five largest stock holdings.
The top five
Citadel's technology- and analytics-focused approach to portfolio construction and history of market-crushing performance make the hedge fund's holdings a point of interest for many investors. These are the fund's five biggest stock positions as of the company's most recent public disclosure:
Charles Schwab (NYSE: SCHW) is a longtime leader in financial services and stands as Citadel's top stock holding. The stock accounted for roughly 1.6% of Citadel's total stock portfolio as of the company's last update.
Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ: QQQ) is an exchange traded fund (ETF) that tracks the Nasdaq-100 index and accounted for 1.1% of Citadel's holdings as of the most recent public update.
Edwards Lifesciences (NYSE: EW) is a medical technology specialist focused on services for patients with heart-valve disease and accounted for 1% of Citadel's stock portfolio weight.
Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) is a medical company that makes devices used to treat and manage a wide range of health issues, and its stock recently represented roughly 0.8% of Citadel's portfolio holdings.
Keurig Dr Pepper (NASDAQ: KDP) is a beverage giant that produces and markets a portfolio of globally known drinks. It recently made up roughly 0.7% of Citadel's stock holdings.
Notably, Hess had been Citadel's second-largest position and accounted for roughly 1.3% of the fund's stock holdings as of the company's last 13F filing, but the energy company was acquired by Chevron in July in a $55 billion all-stock deal. If Griffin and Citadel opt to hold on to the Chevron stock received through the buyout, the fund could show a new top-five holding with its next 13F filing.

e.l.f. Beauty, Inc. (ELF)'s Selling In Dollar General Because 'It's The Last One,' Says Jim Cramer

We recently published . e.l.f. Beauty, Inc. (NYSE:ELF) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed. e.l.f. Beauty, Inc. (NYSE:ELF) is a firm that can't seem to catch a break. After struggling in a tough cosmetics market in 2024, the firm has continued to struggle in 2025 as investors fret about its ability to weather the inflationary storm from tariffs. e.l.f. Beauty, Inc. (NYSE:ELF)'s affordable cosmetics depend on its Chinese supply chain, making the tariff concerns self-explanatory. Cramer remarked on the firm selling cosmetics in Dollar General: '[On why ELF was selling its products in Dollar General] Because it's the last one. The shorts are telling me, not that I listen to the shorts, but the shorts are saying, what's after Dollar General? Is there anything after?' Copyright: antonioguillem / 123RF Stock Photo Here are his previous thoughts about e.l.f. Beauty, Inc. (NYSE:ELF): 'What the heck just happened to e.l.f. Beauty? I mean, the last time we got results from this low-cost cosmetics and skincare brand and the stock got eviscerated today, down nearly 10%. You know, we've long championed this one. It's been a great growth stock over the last few years, largely because it offers its customers quality merchandise at incredibly affordable prices. Unfortunately, it can charge low prices because it makes most of its goods in China, which means most of e.l.f.'s products are about to become more expensive. So last night, even though e.l.f. delivered a nice top and bottom line beat, management declined to issue a full year forecast because they really have no idea how the tariff situation's… going to play out. However, the limited guidance they gave did suggest that their margins are going to take a real hit… Maybe that's why things got, well, just awry.' While we acknowledge the potential of ELF as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
