NVIDIA Corporation is once again proving why it remains one of the most closely watched AI stocks in the world, as billionaire hedge fund manager Israel Englander continues to hold a major position in the chip giant despite trimming shares in recent quarters.
According to the latest filings, Englander’s Millennium Management held 15.2 million NVIDIA shares at the end of Q4 2025, down 16 percent from the previous quarter. Even with the reduction, NVIDIA remains one of the fund’s most significant long-term investments — a relationship that stretches back more than 15 years.
Millennium first added NVIDIA to its portfolio in late 2010, when the company was still largely seen as a gaming hardware brand rather than the backbone of the artificial intelligence revolution. By 2014, Englander had increased that position to nearly 100 million shares, showing early confidence in NVIDIA long before AI became Wall Street’s hottest trend.
That long-term conviction now appears well justified.
In 2026, NVIDIA continues to dominate the AI semiconductor market thanks to explosive demand for advanced chips powering generative and agentic AI systems. The company’s latest Blackwell Ultra platform has become a major catalyst, with NVIDIA claiming it delivers up to 50 times better performance for agentic AI workloads compared to older Hopper-based chips.
This matters because the AI industry is rapidly shifting beyond chatbots and text generators toward autonomous AI agents capable of completing complex tasks independently. Analysts believe NVIDIA is uniquely positioned to benefit from this next phase because nearly every major AI developer relies on its hardware.
Investor confidence has also been strengthened by NVIDIA’s expanding partnerships. Its reported $110 billion alliance with Open AI, along with infrastructure deals tied to Anthropic and Elon Musk’s X AI, has created long-term revenue visibility that few rivals can match. These multi-year agreements are seen as strategic safeguards that could lock NVIDIA into AI infrastructure dominance through at least 2028.
Despite rising competition in the semiconductor sector, NVIDIA remains the benchmark AI stock for institutional investors. While some hedge funds are diversifying into smaller AI names with higher speculative upside, NVIDIA’s combination of scale, profitability, and technological leadership keeps it firmly at the center of the AI investment boom.
As AI demand accelerates worldwide, NVIDIA’s role is no longer just about powering graphics cards — it is now powering the future of artificial intelligence itself.
