Stanley Druckenmiller closed his Alphabet position worth just over $120 million and opened new positions in Intel and Arm Holdings as bets on agentic AI

In Q1 2026, Druckenmiller's Duquesne Family Office exited Alphabet entirely (a stake worth just over $120 million as of end of 2025) and initiated new positions: over 411,000 shares of Intel (worth about $18 million as of end of quarter) and 106,700 shares of Arm Holdings (worth about $16 million as of end of quarter).

Both Intel and Arm are central processing unit (CPU) leaders. With agentic AI (AI-powered technology performing complex tasks autonomously based on initial instructions), CPUs are regaining importance for task orchestration, communication with external sources, and memory management. Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan stated the CPU-to-GPU ratio in data centers has moved from 1-to-8 toward 1-to-4, and could move toward parity or better.

Arm has decided to design and sell its own CPUs for the first time and management thinks it could ramp this business up to a $15 billion annual revenue stream over the next five years.
