Grok 3 makes ideal stock portfolio for 2025

Artificial intelligence (AI) platforms have been enjoying the spotlight since the original release of ChatGPT in late 2022 and have started gaining increasing traction among investors for apparently outperforming a significant portion of professional managers.

By February 5, 2025, a ChatGPT-build stock portfolio outperformed the recommendations of multiple influential figures such as Robert Kiyosaki with their year-to-date (YTD) performance and, as Finbold reported on February 19, a hedge fund completely bereft of humans and relying on AI decisively beat the market.

Under the circumstances and with the release of the brand-new Grok 3, Finbold decided to consult xAI’s latest offering on which stocks might be the ideal picks for 2025.

Grok 3 builds the ideal 2025 portfolio framework

Grok was quick to assess the macroeconomic conditions prevailing this year and conclude that an ideal portfolio would seek to balance strong growth and the principles of value investing while not neglecting assets that would provide stability and bolster resilience.

The AI, therefore, selected three technology, two financial, two healthcare stocks, and one each from the industrial, utilities, and consumer defensive sectors.

Specifically, Grok estimated that Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) remains the unchallenged winner within its sectors, while Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) provides strength while not being as ‘hyped’ as the semiconductor giant. Simultaneously, Lam Research (NASDAQ: LRCX) was described as a sleeper technology giant and a good way to diversify the AI strategy.

Elsewhere, the platform described financials as an undervalued sector that boasts multiple strong picks – singling out JPMorgan (NYSE: JPM) and Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS), as they, per the model, play well in a team due to their differing focuses.

Both Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) and UnitedHealth (NYSE: UNH) were selected for relatively lagging behind despite proving their resilience and operating in a continuously critical sector. LLY shares were highlighted for their growth potential, and UNH was described as ‘ballast against volatility.’

Additionally, Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT) was chosen due to the mix of high infrastructure spending and President Donald Trump’s expected domestic focus as a strong industrial pick, while NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE) was selected as a defensive utilities giant with some growth potential.

Finally, Grok 3’s justification strongly positioned Walmart (NYSE: WMT) as a stock set to do much heavy lifting in terms of stability and resilience due to the company’s pivotal position as one of the biggest retailers in the world.

Though the AI failed to mention the fact, Walmart is also an enticing buy due to the price drop it experienced on February 20 after it unveiled its latest earnings report.
