David Einhorn, a prominent figure in the financial world, has built a reputation through his high-profile critiques of companies like Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Allied Capital, and Lehman Brothers, the latter of which collapsed shortly after his July 2007 speech.
With a net worth of $1.5 billion, the controversial billionaire manages Greenlight Capital, which has delivered a robust return of just over 42% over the past three years, outperforming the S&P 500.
Greenlight Capital's largest holding is Green Brick Partners (NYSE:GRBK), a construction company operating primarily in the southwestern United States, which comprises 28.9% of the fund's portfolio.
This investment is central to the fund's performance, with prospects for continued growth in Green Brick's share price. The fund's second-largest holding is Consol Energy (NYSE:CEIX), making these two companies pivotal to Greenlight Capital's overall return.
According to the mandatory F13 report for mutual funds managing over $100 million, Greenlight's strategic positions in Green Brick Partners and CONSOL Energy are crucial drivers of its success.
