# Billionaires Ken Griffin, David Tepper, Philippe Laffont And More Load Up On Nvidia Stock As This Tech Bull Sees NVDA 'Going To $5 Trillion'

A cohort of Wall Street's most influential billionaire investors has significantly increased their holdings in **Nvidia Corp.** (NASDAQ:NVDA), signaling strong confidence in the AI chipmaker's future. The aggressive buying spree coincides with a bold prediction from a prominent tech analyst who sees the company's market capitalization soaring to $5 trillion.

## **Billionaires Load Up On Nvidia Stock**

According to the second quarter 13F filings, some of the biggest names in hedge funds loaded up on Nvidia shares.

**Ken Griffin** of Citadel Advisors acquired 6.1 million shares, boosting his firm’s position by 922%. Appaloosa's **David Tepper** increased his stake by 483% with the purchase of 1.4 million shares, while **Philippe Laffont** of Coatue Management added 2.9 million shares.

These moves are noteworthy given the managers’ track records of outperforming the S&P 500.

## **Nvidia Is ‘Going To $5 Trillion’**

Wedbush analyst Dan Ives echoes this institutional bullishness; he believes the company’s fundamentals are stronger than perceived and that demand for its AI chips remains immense.

“I think it's noise… And I think this is a stock going to $5 trillion," Ives stated, viewing the company’s financial results as a “validation point” for the ongoing AI trade.

Ives’s projection, while optimistic, is not the most bullish on Wall Street. Technology analyst **Beth Kindig** of the I/O Fund believes Nvidia will become a $10 trillion company by 2030, citing its rapid product roadmap and the "impenetrable moat" created by its CUDA software platform.

## **The Bear Case: An AI Bubble?**

However, a note of caution persists among some experts. Alex Tsepaev of B2PRIME Group acknowledged Nvidia’s near-term strength but warned of the underlying risk if the AI boom doesn’t fulfill its revolutionary promise.

“If AI turns out to be just a bubble, it can be a collapse for the whole market, and Nvidia in particular,” Tsepaev cautioned, highlighting a potential vulnerability in the chipmaker’s meteoric rise.

## **Price Action**

Shares of NVDA fell 0.25% to end at $185.04 per share on Tuesday, and further fell by 0.029% in after-hours. It has risen 33.79% year-to-date and 39.24% over the past year.

**Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings** indicate that NVDA maintains a stronger price trend in the short, medium, and long terms. However, the stock's value ranking is relatively poor. Additional performance details are available here.

The **SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust** (NYSE:SPY) and **Invesco QQQ Trust ETF** (NASDAQ:QQQ), which track the S&P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, fell on Tuesday. The SPY was down 0.37% at $669.12, while the QQQ declined 0.53% to $604.51, according to Benzinga Pro data.
