Cathie Wood’s ARK Innovation ETF has bought 93,374 Nvidia shares, marking its first NVDA purchase since August. The renewed buying came after Nvidia posted strong earnings and a solid revenue outlook for the AI sector.
Despite rising over 5% intraday, Nvidia closed down 3.2% at $180.50 as broader markets fell on weakening expectations of a December Fed rate cut.
Ark Invest Ramps Up Crypto Stock Buying
Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest kept buying the dip, adding about $10M in Coinbase shares and roughly $9M each in BitMine and Circle across its ETFs. The firm also picked up $9.75M in Bullish and $6.7M in Robinhood.
Ark has been steadily boosting its crypto exposure, now holding over $500M in Coinbase plus sizable stakes in Circle, BitMine, Bullish, and Robinhood. Wood remains strongly bullish on Bitcoin, projecting it could reach ~$1.2M by 2030.
Goldman Sachs Lifts Nvidia Target Price to USD 250
Goldman Sachs released a bullish research report, saying Nvidia’s upcoming results could come in far above market forecasts, driven by its strong advantage in AI training chips.
- EPS estimate raised by an average of 12%
- Target price increased from USD 240 to USD 250
- Sees upside potential in Nvidia’s projected USD 500 billion data center revenue for 2025–26
The report considers Nvidia’s valuation “attractive,” noting that demand for AI infrastructure continues to grow rapidly.
Peter Thiel and SoftBank Fully Exit Nvidia
In a contrasting move, billionaire investor Peter Thiel has fully exited his Nvidia position. His fund, Thiel Macro LLC, sold 100% of its NVDA shares according to the latest Q3 2025 13F filing.
SoftBank has also sold its entire $5.8 billion Nvidia stake. This exit comes despite SoftBank boosting its Nvidia exposure to nearly $3 billion earlier in the year as part of Masayoshi Son’s AI expansion strategy.
What This Means
The latest moves show a sharp divide among top investors:
- ARK and Goldman Sachs are betting on Nvidia’s continued AI leadership.
- Thiel and SoftBank are taking profits and reallocating capital amid rising market volatility.
Nvidia remains a central player in the global AI race, but the mixed positions reflect growing debate on how much more upside remains.
