We recently published a list of Billionaire Rob Citrone’s 10 Small-Cap Stock Picks with Huge Upside Potential. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Nebius Group N.V. (NASDAQ:NBIS) stands against Billionaire Rob Citrone’s other small-cap stock picks with huge upside potential.
Rob Citrone founded Discovery Capital Management in 1999. Based in Connecticut, Discovery Capital is one of the Tiger Cub hedge funds. Rob Citrone worked as a portfolio manager at Fidelity Investments and Julian Robertson’s Tiger Management before founding Discovery Capital. Citrone was also a wrestler in high school and today owns a small slice of his favorite football team, the Pittsburgh Steelers. His firm focuses on liquidity, valuation multiples, past and potential growth in picking stocks, and has a focus on technology, services, basic materials, and financial sectors. The last reported 13F filing for Q4 2024 included $1.47 billion in managed 13F securities and a top 10 holdings concentration of 44.09%.
Robert Citrone recently cut his long equity portfolio. In his January monthly letter, obtained by the Institutional Investor, the firm halved its net equity exposure to 25% from a peak of 50% just at year-end to go flat to short in developed markets. He has been expecting a stock market correction of 5% to 7%. He believes it is meaningful enough to reduce risk and potentially be short, even though it’s not a large sell-off. Citrone thinks the market is expensive in historical terms, especially relative to interest rates. Still, the majority of global investors are long corporate America, including venture, private equity, private credit, long-only equity, and/or credit long-short hedge funds, even as the US enters tariff uncertainty and no more Fed cuts are anticipated in the near term.
