| 2025 Q4 | Feb 5, 2026 | Baron Opportunity Fund | 4.6% | 19.4% | ACLX, AMZN, ARGX, AXON, BRCM, CSGP, DUOL, EXAS, GOOGL, GTLB, HRTX, LLY, META, MSFT, NVDA, ONON, ORCL, SPOT, TSLA, TTD | AI, Cloud, growth, innovation, secular trends, semiconductors, Space, technology | AI is the most powerful technology platform shift since the internet, driving stock leadership and returns over the last three years. Baron has investments across all layers of the AI stack, with successful infrastructure investments like NVIDIA being a 10-bagger. AI is already delivering value through software development productivity improvements, customer service cost savings, and emerging applications like Tesla Robotaxis and AI-powered commerce. SpaceX is generating significant value through rapid expansion of Starlink broadband service and establishing itself as a leading launch provider with reusable technology. The company is making tremendous progress on Starship, the largest most powerful rocket ever flown, representing a significant leap forward in space exploration capabilities. Eli Lilly's portfolio of Mounjaro/Zepbound GLP-1/GIP drugs are important treatments for diabetic and non-diabetic obese patients. This drug class should become the standard of care for both diabetes and obesity and grow to at least a $150 billion category. The market is in early innings of uptake with adoption driving Lilly to nearly double revenues by 2030. Microsoft has built a $135 billion run-rate cloud business including Azure cloud infrastructure and Office 365 applications. The company remains well positioned across overlapping software, cloud computing, and AI landscapes with its vertically integrated technology stack and broad sales distribution, driving durable long-term double-digit growth. NVIDIA has been more than a 10-bagger for the Fund, with Baron being early investors over four years before the ChatGPT moment. Broadcom has been a 2.5-bagger resulting from explosive growth not multiple expansion. These investments represent successful positioning in the infrastructure layer of AI computing. Spotify continues to demonstrate double-digit user growth and industry-leading engagement levels with evident pricing power as customer retention held despite recent price hikes. The company is on a path to structurally higher gross margins aided by high-margin artist-promotions marketplace and scaling podcast offering, with potential to reach over 1 billion monthly active users. | View |
