Claudia Panseri, head of investments at UBS, highlighted mixed prospects for technology stocks, which have underperformed compared to European equities. While the global tech index rose 5% this year, only Microsoft and Meta Platforms from the "BATMAAN" group saw gains, leaving valuations reasonable with a forward P/E ratio around 23.
UBS has disclosed a reduction in its shareholdings of Microsoft and Alphabet as part of its Q1 2025 portfolio update, following its 13F filing with the SEC. The bank's total US portfolio was valued at approximately USD 543.97 billion at the end of March. This quarterly reporting is mandatory for institutional investors managing over USD 100 million.
Alphabet Inc. operates across six key areas, including Google search, YouTube, Nest Labs for home automation, Calico for biotechnology research, and investment services through Google Ventures and Google Capital. The company also provides Google Fiber for fiber optic internet access. Geographically, its net sales are primarily from the United States (48.7%), followed by Europe/Middle East/Africa (29.2%), Asia/Pacific (16.3%), and the Americas (5.8%).

UBS has maintained a "Neutral" rating for Alphabet A shares, setting a target price of $186 following the Google I/O developer conference. Analyst Stephen Ju noted that while generative AI is fostering innovation at Google, the effectiveness of monetizing AI search features compared to traditional search remains uncertain.
Elon Musk announced Tesla's plan to launch robotaxis in Austin by June, with vehicles geofenced and monitored remotely, lacking human drivers. He emphasized Tesla's camera-based approach as superior to Waymo's sensor-heavy model, despite facing political backlash and a recent decline in EV sales. Musk remains committed to leading Tesla for the next five years, while also advising President Trump and managing his other ventures.
The search market is shifting towards AI tools, with Alphabet enhancing its generative AI capabilities while facing antitrust lawsuits that could impact its structure. Despite losing digital ad market share, Alphabet's cloud services are growing, and analysts project a 7% annual earnings increase through 2026. Bill Ackman has invested significantly in both Alphabet and Uber Technologies, indicating strong confidence in their future performance.
Huawei has launched its in-house operating system, HarmonyOS, for personal computers, aiming to provide an alternative to Microsoft’s Windows amid rising geopolitical tensions. The OS will debut on the MateBook Fold and is set to support over 2,000 apps, including popular messaging platforms like WeChat and QQ. As part of its strategy to reduce reliance on American technology, Huawei is phasing out Windows from its PC lineup and expanding its software ecosystem to connect various devices.

Berkshire Hathaway's insurance arm, particularly GEICO, faces potential disruption from the rise of robotaxis, which could significantly reduce auto sales and alter insurance needs. While some experts predict a dramatic decline in auto insurance revenue, Berkshire's diversification may mitigate risks. Despite challenges, the company is expected to remain a solid long-term investment under new CEO Greg Abel.
