Wealthy individual divests from Nvidia and Palantir, instead investing in an unspecified artificial intelligence-related stock.
In a move that has sent ripples through the technology industry, billionaire investor Israel Englander has significantly reduced his holdings in Nvidia and Palantir, and instead, has placed his bets on Meta Platforms, Alphabet, and Amazon.
According to recent 13F filings, Meta Platforms has emerged as the clear favorite AI stock among billionaire fund managers, including Englander. His fund, which manages over $500 billion in assets, has increased its position in Meta Platforms, reflecting a strong belief in the company's growth potential.
Englander's interest in Alphabet is also noteworthy. In early 2025, he boosted his equity long position by 151%, indicating a strong interest beyond just Nvidia or Palantir. Amazon, another key holding for Englander, reflects a broader strategy in major technology companies with growth potential in AI and other innovative sectors.
Englander's decision to sell off his Nvidia shares is likely a profit-taking measure, as the stock still holds a significant position in his portfolio. The sale of Palantir shares, a big data and cybersecurity company, may be due to concerns over the company's high valuation and current price-to-earnings ratio of around 200.
Despite these moves, Englander has also increased his position in Super Micro Computer by over 800%. The company, which offers infrastructure for the expansion of AI data centers and integrates Nvidia's popular H100 GPUs, could see its revenue reach $28 billion in 2025. However, there are reports of an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice regarding Super Micro Computer, and some experts fear that the company may face supply chain issues in the future.
Analysts are cautious about Super Micro Computer, with only four recommending buying, six recommending holding, and some recommending selling. The stock offers a chance for over 32% gain with a price target of 64 USD, but it has been more than 50% down since the beginning of the year due to the mentioned issues.
On the other hand, Palantir's stock has risen over 150% since the beginning of the year, but it faces criticism due to its high valuation and current price-to-earnings ratio of around 200. The company has only been profitable since the fiscal year 2023, and analysts are cautious, with only four recommending buying, six recommending holding, and some recommending selling.
Englander's portfolio disclosure, analyzed by "The Motley Fool," shows his status at the end of the second quarter. Known for his often risky investments, but also for uncovering real bargain stocks, Englander's latest moves suggest a strategic shift in his investment strategy.
