Nvidia's AI Portfolio: Unpacking the Best of the Bunch

Nvidia, led by CEO Jensen Huang, owns six stocks worth $1.14 billion. The top holdings include CoreWeave, a software and cloud services provider for AI applications, and Arm Holdings, a CPU, GPU, and NPU intellectual property solutions provider. Nvidia also owns stakes in Applied Digital Corp, which offers digital infrastructure solutions and cloud services for HPC and AI. Recursion Pharmaceuticals, a biotech and pharmaceutical company using AI, and two other companies round out Nvidia's portfolio.

Nvidia, the leading manufacturer of AI chips, recently crossed a significant milestone with its market value exceeding $4 trillion, a first for any listed firm. This achievement has significantly boosted the wealth of the company's co-founder and CEO, Jensen Huang, whose net worth has surged past $140 billion. Huang's fortune now rivals those of Warren Buffett and Larry Page, placing him among the world's wealthiest individuals.

Huang's remarkable wealth increase is largely attributed to his 3.5% stake in Nvidia. As of the New York closing bell on July 10, 2025, Bloomberg pegged Huang's net worth at $143 billion, up from about $20 billion in early 2022. This rapid growth is a testament to Nvidia's dominance in the AI chip market, driven by high demand from cloud providers and automakers.

Nvidia's share price has experienced a remarkable rise, settling near $164 after a run that lifted the stock 74% since April's low and around 22% since January. This growth has been fueled by several factors, including the scarcity of high-end AI GPUs, Nvidia's control of around 80% of the market, and the high switching costs associated with its CUDA software and support contracts.

However, several challenges could potentially slow Nvidia's growth. Export curbs, particularly the United States' restrictions on top-tier chips shipping to China, could impact the company's largest single-country market. Additionally, competition from AMD, Intel, and various start-ups could erode Nvidia's market share, particularly in inference workloads.

Despite these potential challenges, Nvidia's valuation and future earnings are closely watched by analysts. The company's focus on humanoid robots and self-driving cars, as well as its upcoming Blackwell platform, could drive further growth. Investors remain optimistic about Nvidia's prospects, bidding the price up despite the high valuation.
