Dan Loeb's Third Point hedge fund took profits on a handful of chip stocks in the third quarter, instead buying into other, marquee technology names, regulatory fillings show. While contending with these challenges in the third quarter, the billionaire fund manager sold of his holdings in the three chip stocks. Those gains have come amid the artificial intelligence boom that has driven up chip makers and other stocks tied to the technology. In the same vein, Loeb raised the size of his Microsoft stake by 46% in the third quarter. In addition to the chip makers, Leob also sold out his entire stakes in HCA Healthcare and Black Knight , among others.
