Interestingly, retail investors seized opportunities in Q4 to buy shares in underperforming companies, evidenced by the increased holdings of Bayer (36% rise) and Siemens Energy (17% rise) after hitting significant lows. eToro Global Market Strategist Ben Laidler highlighted the trend, emphasizing the appeal of such recovery plays for bargain-hunting investors.

Laidler noted, “Retail investors clearly feel that the obesity drug train has a long way to go, with eToro users continuing to flock to the industry’s two biggest names in Q4.” He also acknowledged the strategic moves by investors to capitalize on recovery opportunities in firms that faced challenges in 2022.

On the flip side, some of the best-performing stocks of 2023 experienced a decrease in eToro holders in Q4. Notable mentions include Salesforce, Uber, and Micron Technologies, which witnessed a 12%, 12%, and 11% decline in holders, respectively. Lastly, Laidler interpreted this as a typical year-end portfolio reassessment by retail investors, potentially anticipating market shifts towards more economically cyclical and cost-effective shares in the coming year.
