Some stock market enthusiasts pay close attention to the investment moves of prominent figures such as Warren Buffett. Emulating Buffett’s investment strategies has historically proven profitable for many.
Another increasingly popular approach involves tracking the stocks purchased and sold by politicians. One such active trader in this arena is Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., who recently acquired five artificial intelligence (AI) stocks. The question arises: should others consider investing in these stocks as well?
Adobe
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene purchased shares of Adobe (ADBE) on February 11, 2025. She is among several members of Congress, including Rep. Chuck Fleischman, R-Tenn., Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, Rep. Rob Bresnahan, R-Pa., and Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., who have bought shares in this software company recently. Adobe is currently utilizing generative AI extensively in its digital media products. Analysts on Wall Street project a potential surge of 23% in Adobe’s stock over the next 12 months. With the stock trading 20% below its September 2024 high, it presents a potential buying opportunity for investors.Apple
On the same day, February 11, Greene also bought shares of Apple (AAPL). This investment marks her second time purchasing shares of the consumer technology giant, with her first purchase on October 31, 2024. Since then, Apple’s stock value has increased by approximately 8%. Although Apple is seen as a solid long-term investment, current attention is suggested for observation rather than immediate buying, with a focus on evidences of stronger growth correlating to its high forward price-to-earnings ratio of 33.3.Meta Platforms
Greene has shown a keen interest in Meta Platforms (META), purchasing shares on five occasions since October 2024, including the most recent purchase on February 11. The company’s platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp, continue to draw billions of users globally, attracting advertisers. While optimism surrounds Meta’s future, especially in the smart glasses market, some analysts agree with CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s comments about glasses being the "ideal form factor for an AI device."Microsoft
Though several members of Congress have sold shares of Microsoft (MSFT) earlier in 2025, Greene continues to increase her holdings in the tech stock. Microsoft trades with a premium forward earnings multiple of 31, and while its long-term performance is expected to be positive, this stock is not currently prioritized for purchase due to valuation concerns and other preferred alternatives.- Palantir Technologies
Palantir Technologies (PLTR) was a standout performer last year and has seen more than a 60% gain in 2025. Greene initiated a position in Palantir on February 11, investing between $1,000 and $15,000. Palantir’s business potential in AI and data analytics, particularly its offerings to governments and businesses, remains promising. However, concerns about valuation persist, as the stock trades over 208 times forward earnings and nearly 102 times trailing 12-month sales while expecting a revenue growth of only 30% in 2025.
