Foolish take
Argan was once an under-the-radar AI play. But after gaining over 700% in five years and setting a new high last month, it is now very much on investors' radars. Argan benefits from the data center demand for power. The company has a focus on gas and renewable power plants and a backlog of over $2 billion. This means it's well-positioned to profit from the dramatic rise in electricity usage.
The Argan buy could be part of a wider move to up Navellier's exposure to the energy sector. Navellier also bought almost 85,000 more shares in Exxon Mobil (XOM +0.85%). Its Exxon position increased from $1.8 million in Q2 to $11.5 million in Q3.
Bloom Energy (BE +5.01%) shares soared in Q3, which -- along with the purchase of more shares -- took the value of its holdings from $1.1 million to $9.4 million. All in all, its holdings in Argan, Exxon Mobil, and Bloom Energy made up 3.2% of its portfolio by the end of Q3, compared with 1.1% the quarter before.
Navellier holds over 350 stocks in its portfolio, with a solid slew of AI and tech stocks. Nvidia dominates, accounting for over 10% of its AUM.
