We recently published a list of Aggressive Stock Portfolio: 12 Stocks Picked by Hedge Funds. In this article, we are going to take a look at where argenx SE (NASDAQ:ARGX) stands against other aggressive stocks picked by hedge funds.
The broader market has dropped into correction territory, declining by over 10% from its peak in February and wiping $5 trillion in market value. Simultaneously, Reuters reported that the Nasdaq Composite is also undergoing a correction, reflecting a wider pullback in high-growth stocks. With unpredictable market trends, aggressive stock portfolios offer both positive and negative effects for growth investors. Investor confidence is highly dependent on trade pressures and inflation, with the Federal Reserve holding rates at 4.25-4.5% and predicting inflation to rise to 2.8%. Concurrently, trade tensions between the U.S. and China are worsening, while in India, the outflow of capital has surged. An estimated $29 billion of foreign investment has been pulled out of stocks in India since October. It is the biggest outflow in six months due to global investment volatility.
History proves that these market corrections, while having repercussions, also create some opportunities. As mentioned in Reuters, since 1929, the broader market has gone through 56 corrections, but only 22 turned into bear markets. These dips typically last 115 days and fall by 13.8%, much less than the 35.6% drops in bear markets. Gold prices went up 13% in 2025, driven by investors looking for stability, and U.S. Treasury yields have fallen as demand for safe assets increases. However, aggressive investors know that market swings can be a good time to buy growth stocks poised for a comeback.
For high-growth investors, it is challenging to maneuver this volatile market. Corrections of 7-10% are occurring more frequently now, yet major indices still find support, which indicates that market disruptions could be investment opportunities. Companies with strong market control, advantages in U.S.-based manufacturing, or innovative business models might be more efficient in these economic conditions. Similarly, sectors evolving through new tech, population shifts, or regulation shifts could offer significant gains for those staying poised in short-term ups and downs.
Sector rotation is becoming crucial in these market shifts, as Reuters reported that the ‘Magnificent Seven’ tech giants are facing challenges. The major EV company has dropped 33%, and the group is down 17% on average since February. This has shifted investors’ interest toward undervalued sectors with strong potential. Historically, aggressive stocks bounce back stronger after corrections as investors regain their risk appetite. Despite current disruptions, companies with solid base values, exposure to disruptive tech, and apt market strategies could see considerable gains as markets settle down.
