Nvidia stock is on sale right now.
Tracking the moves of billionaire hedge fund managers is a smart move for investors. While simply following their trades isn’t a good idea, seeing what they’re doing to confirm your moves is a good gut check. Fortunately, any fund with over $100 million in assets is required to disclose its holdings 45 days after the end of a quarter through a Form 13F.
One billionaire I keep tabs on is David Tepper, and he spent most of 2025 loading up on Nvidia (NVDA +1.09%) stock. At the end of the first quarter, his fund, Appaloosa Management, owned 300,000 shares of Nvidia. As of the end of the third quarter, it now owns 1.9 million. That’s a huge number of shares to load up on throughout the year, and it is now the company’s fourth-largest holding.
Clearly, there’s something here, and I think loading up on Nvidia is a smart move for all investors heading into 2026.

The AI buildout still has a long way to go
Nvidia makes graphics processing units (GPUs), which have been the go-to computing unit since the AI buildout began in 2023. Nvidia’s technology stack is second to none, and even as more competition emerges, its chips have remained a top option.
Demand for Nvidia’s GPUs has been incredible, and its CEO Jensen Huang noted during its Q3 fiscal year 2026 (ending Oct. 26) that it’s “sold out” of cloud GPUs. So, while some investors are concerned that an AI bubble will burst, that doesn’t reflect reality.
AI hyperscalers…
