By the end of July, however, most of those companies saw their stocks slide amid concern about the extent of AI-related gains and fears of a recession. Alphabet and Amazon’s share prices have fallen by about 12% since the end of June, while Microsoft’s are down around 7% over that period.
Many of the tech shares held by Temasek have started to recover this week and it’s unclear how it invested since June 30. The firm may have made gains depending on its purchase price, sold right before the fall or even snapped up more as they declined in an effort to buy the dip. With a net portfolio value of $389 billion as of March 31, the purchases would’ve represented around 1% of its total holdings.
The multi-billion dollar buying spree underscores Temasek’s commitment to ramping up investments in the US, which it said last month would be the largest destination for its capital with plans to invest US$30 billion over the next five years.
