13F Season: Where Wall Street's Smart Money is Betting

Key Takeaways

  • Institutional heavyweights are betting on the AI ecosystem.
  • SpaceX is a top addition among many big money managers.
  • Cerebras is another core top holding for many top investors.

13F is a quarterly report that institutional investors managing over $100 million must disclose with the SEC. 13Fs can provide valuable insight into America’s top investors. Below are the 5 most important 13Fs to watch:

NVIDIA

NVIDIA is the largest company in the world by market cap ($5 trillion). Beyond its size, the company’s investments are worth watching because no other company on the planet has its finger on the pulse of the AI boom like NVIDIA and its iconic CEO Jensen Huang. At a 44% weighting, Intel ((INTC - Free Report) ) remains its largest position. Earlier this year, NVIDIA made a $5 billion investment in Intel common stock in return for a manufacturing and data center collaboration. Meanwhile, SpaceX ((SPCX - Free Report) ) was NVIDIA’s largest addition and comprises 30.94% of the portfolio. NVIDIA is also betting big on leading neocloud stocks like CoreWeave (CRWV) and Nebius (NBIS) (NVIDIA has partnerships with both).
