This company plays a key role in the development and use of AI.
Investors often keep an eye on what the billionaires do because these players have formed a history of success, more and more fortunes and, often, for those who invest in their funds. Should you follow the movements of these experts?
I can surprise you when I say “sometimes” instead of “always”. But it is important to consider your own investment style and your comfort with risk before diving. For example, if you are a value investor, you can be uncomfortable to invest in a young technological player who is not yet profitable. Or if you are an aggressive investor, you may not feel passionate about a slower but regular health player.
However, it is always worth considering what some of the best investors in the world do, then deciding whether this particular decision suits you.
In recent times, billionaires have flocked to a stock that has climbed 1 100% in the past three years. In fact, David Tepper, of Appaloosa Management and Dan Loeb of Third Point, have considerably increased their positions in this winning player. So they clearly believe that much more growth can be in advance. Should you follow their move? Discover.

The funds of Tepper and Loeb
Tepper is known for her property of the Carolina Panthers and her daring investment movements, including the purchase of financial actions in difficulty in 2009 which recovered and generated major gains for Appaloosa. LOEB has transformed its interest in the purchase of companies into distress and guide them thanks to the resumption of beaten returns on the market. Tepper oversees $ 6.4 billion in 13F titles, while Loeb manages $ 7.6 billion such titles.
All the exchanges of these titles must be declared to the Securities and Exchange Commission each quarter; This applies to managers of more than $ 100 million. Most recently, Tepper and Loeb reported their movements in the second quarter. This brings me to the stock they both bought hand over fist. It is none other than the giant of artificial intelligence fleas (AI) Nvidia (NVDA -2.78%)).
In the second quarter, the billionaires made the following movements:
- Tepper increased his NVIDIA detention by 483% to 1,750,000 shares, so NVIDIA now represents almost 4.3% of her portfolio. He initially bought NVIDIA shares in the first quarter of 2023.
- LOEB has raised its NVIDIA position from 93% to 2,800,000 shares, representing 5.8% of its portfolio – for the third greatest position among all its participations. He opened his Nvidia position in the first quarter of this year.
Dominance on the flea market AI
Nvidia has already given enormous growth to investors, thanks to its domination in the ia flea market. While AI has become a hot technology, the company has moved to become a major player in the field. Nvidia did it by designing its graphic processing units (GPU) taking into account the AI, and they quickly became the essential solution for AI key tasks, such as training and, more recently, the inference of models.
All of this helped Nvidia’s income and profits to go up double and triple figures in billions of dollars. And that attracted investors to the stock, which prompted him to skyrocket. Nvidia even saw its market capitalization exceeding 4 dollars this year, making it the largest company in the world.
Now, however, you may be wondering if the billionaires – or you – can be late if you buy now. Not necessarily. Even if AI has experienced enormous growth in recent years, this movement is far from over. NVIDIA recently planned that IA infrastructure expenses could reach 4 dollars by the end of the decade while large technological companies build their platforms. This should lead to enormous growth for NVIDIA because it provides them with chips and related products and services.
Feed the future of AI
It is also important to keep in mind that we are in the very first days of applying AI to real problems – and NVIDIA GPUs are essential for these AI agents to do their job. Finally, Nvidia should also feed the future stages of AI, such as the development of robotics and the use of AI in all industries.
Meanwhile, NVIDIA’s actions are negotiated 38 times in the long term profits, which seems reasonable given the growth prospects in the coming years.
So, should you follow the billionaires in NVIDIA shares? For any investor to benefit from the history of AI growth, the answer is “yes”. Nvidia has demonstrated its forces, and the company has what it takes to remain a central player in AI boom, which means that if you join the billionaires and you are buying it now, you could benefit from a new wave of explosive growth in the years to come.
