-
Peter Thiel’s Macro fund reduced its Tesla holdings by 76%, shifting focus to Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), which is considered a safer investment amidst market uncertainties.
-
Tesla’s price-to-sales ratio is around 16, and its price-to-earnings ratios are alarmingly high at 283 for trailing and 195 for forward earnings.
As of January 20, 2026, Tesla remains the largest position in Thiel’s portfolio despite recent moves suggesting a strategic pivot towards blue-chip stocks like Apple amid a tumultuous economic landscape characterized by high inflation and rising unemployment.
Investors are uncertain about market directions for 2026, given ongoing geopolitical tensions. While Tesla’s speculative nature poses more risk, Apple’s stability may yield more consistent returns in a volatile market.
