NVIDIA's 13F Bombshell: A New AI Power Trio Emerges
By Leo Miller. Posted: 2/19/2026.
Key Points
- NVIDIA's public equity portfolio shifted significantly in Q4 2025, with the firm adding three stocks and selling out of four.
- Intel and Synopsys are now NVIDIA's two largest holdings, but the firms are aligning around more than just equity stakes.
- Meanwhile, NVIDIA backed away from one of its neocloud investments, maintaining its position in CoreWeave and Nebius.
- Special Report: [Sponsorship-Ad-6-Format3]
The world's most valuable company just made some headline-grabbing news. Semiconductor giant NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) released its latest 13F SEC filing, detailing the investments it made and sold during Q4 2025. As the company leading the artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure boom, investors watch NVIDIA's trades closely.
The filing not only shows which stocks NVIDIA sees value in, but also highlights strategic moves within the AI and semiconductor ecosystem. While NVIDIA announced many of these trades before the 13F was filed, investors only saw the full picture with the filing. The clearest takeaway is where NVIDIA added exposure, where it exited, and what it chose to keep unchanged.
Intel and Synopsys Become NVIDIA’s Top Holdings
Have $500? Invest in Elon's AI Masterplan (Ad)
What if you could claim a stake in what's set to be the biggest IPO ever… starting with just $500?
Everyone is talking about Elon Musk's SpaceX IPO.
Three new names appeared on NVIDIA's latest 13F filing: Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), Synopsys (NASDAQ: SNPS) and Nokia (NYSE: NOK). The company announced these investments in several press releases during 2025, but the filing is still worth examining.
Intel is now NVIDIA's largest holding. At the end of Q4, NVIDIA held over 214 million Intel shares, valued at approximately $7.9 billion — roughly 61% of its public equity portfolio. NVIDIA first disclosed the stake in September 2025 when it announced a $5 billion purchase at $23.28 per share. Since that announcement, Intel has risen nearly 50%, including a 23% jump immediately after NVIDIA's press release.
Synopsys is one of the two largest firms in the electronic design automation industry, the software essential for designing advanced chips. It also owns key intellectual property that serves as building blocks in semiconductor design. NVIDIA owned more than 4.8 million Synopsys shares, valued at over $2.2 billion at the end of Q4. Synopsys has risen more than 5% since NVIDIA disclosed its $2 billion purchase in December 2025 at $414.79 per share.
Strategic Alignment: Connecting NVDA, INTC and SNPS
NVIDIA's stakes in Intel and Synopsys aren't simply about generating returns — they appear focused on strategic alignment. With Intel, NVIDIA is expanding its reach within the x86 central processing unit (CPU) ecosystem.
Intel will build x86 CPUs that NVIDIA can integrate into both its data center and personal computing products. In the CPU market, x86 architectures compete with Arm-based architectures, led by ARM (NASDAQ: ARM), a stock from which NVIDIA sold its stake during Q4.
For NVIDIA, this move makes sense given that ARM controlled around 20% of the data center CPU market at the end of ARM's 2025 fiscal year, leaving the majority to x86, where Intel competes with Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD). Although NVIDIA also works with Arm — whose architecture is gaining share — partnering with Intel could strengthen NVIDIA's position across the broader CPU market.
Notably, Intel is one of Synopsys's largest customers. Synopsys typically benefits when semiconductor companies start new design programs, which the NVIDIA–Intel partnership appears to signal. That relationship could allow all three firms to gain if the NVIDIA–Intel pact succeeds. Separately, NVIDIA is working with Synopsys to accelerate chip design processes.
NVIDIA Sells One Neocloud, Holds Two Others
NVIDIA removed four names from its 13F portfolio in Q4 2025 that it had not previously announced. The company dropped positions in Applied Digital (NASDAQ: APLD), Arm, Recursion Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: RXRX), and WeRide (NASDAQ: WRD). At the end of Q3, those positions were worth between $17 million and $177 million.
For retail investors, the most notable move was the sale of Applied Digital. The stock fell after NVIDIA's 13F was released. Applied Digital is a "neocloud" company that provides cloud infrastructure tailored specifically for AI workloads, in contrast with giant cloud providers like Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN), which offer both traditional and AI-centric infrastructure.
What makes this move intriguing is that NVIDIA maintained positions in two other neocloud companies: CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV) and Nebius Group (NASDAQ: NBIS). That contrast suggests NVIDIA may be more confident in CoreWeave's and Nebius's outlooks than in Applied Digital's.
What the Q4 2025 Filing Signals About NVIDIA’s AI Infrastructure Priorities
In Q4 2025 NVIDIA consolidated its public equity portfolio from six positions to five, deepening ties with Intel and Synopsys while trimming smaller, noncore names like Recursion and WeRide. The sale of Applied Digital, alongside continued exposure to CoreWeave and Nebius, points to a more focused portfolio and clearer priorities within the AI infrastructure stack.
Why Are Amphenol, Royal Caribbean, and Freeport Insiders Selling?
By Leo Miller. Posted: 2/23/2026.
Key Points
- After posting strong gains, insiders are executing multi-million dollar sales in APH, RCL, and FCX.
- However, which of these sales are truly worrisome, and which are not?
- After a huge post-earnings spike, Royal Caribbean's +$150 million of insider sales raises some eyebrows.
- Special Report: [Sponsorship-Ad-6-Format3]
Amphenol (NYSE: APH), Royal Caribbean Cruises (NYSE: RCL) and Freeport McMoRan (NYSE: FCX) are three stocks with strong positions in their industries, and each has produced impressive gains recently. But amid those rallies, company insiders have been selling. Below we review those transactions and what they may signal for investors.
APH CEO Initiates Approximately $75 Million Sale After Option Exercise
Amphenol makes connectors, antennas, sensors, cables and other electronic components. The stock was exceptionally strong in 2025, delivering a total return of 96% as the company benefited from robust data center demand.
Have $500? Invest in Elon's AI Masterplan (Ad)
What if you could claim a stake in what's set to be the biggest IPO ever… starting with just $500?
Everyone is talking about Elon Musk's SpaceX IPO.
The company reported a 52% revenue increase in 2025 — by far its highest level on record. Its Communications Solutions segment, which includes data center sales, saw revenue nearly double during the year. Shares have continued to perform well in 2026, up more than 10%.
After Amphenol's latest earnings report, CEO Adam Norwitt sold nearly $76 million of shares. Importantly, these sales were not reported as part of a predetermined 10b5-1 plan, which suggests they were discretionary rather than scheduled.
The sales followed Norwitt's exercise and sale of more than 600,000 stock options. He exercised near $22.37 per option and sold near $147.26, realizing roughly a $125 gain per option. Given the large profits on those options, the decision to sell is unsurprising.
Norwitt still holds nearly 2.8 million Amphenol shares, so his stake in the company remains substantial. Taken together, his sales do not appear to be an unusual red flag for investors.
After RCL's Spike, Multiple Insiders Execute Large Sales
Royal Caribbean has returned roughly 30% over the past 52 weeks, about twice the S&P 500's gain. Shares jumped after the company's latest earnings report, rising nearly 19% on the news.
Revenue and adjusted earnings per share were roughly in line with or slightly below expectations. What stood out was guidance: RCL forecast double-digit revenue growth, versus analysts' high-single-digit projections, and provided adjusted EPS guidance that comfortably exceeded estimates.
Despite that upbeat outlook, a number of Royal Caribbean insiders have sold shares since the report. Collectively, insiders sold more than $168 million of stock during February.
Sellers included the company CEO, the CEO of the international division, and the CFO. In total seven individuals sold shares, and it does not appear these sales took place under 10b5-1 plans. One of the CEOs and the CFO each reduced their holdings by more than 50%, while the other CEO cut theirs by over 25%.
Because the sales were large and involved multiple senior executives rather than a single outlier, they are difficult to interpret as anything but a bearish signal. Still, insider transactions are only one input and should be weighed alongside other factors when evaluating a stock.
FCX Rallies After Grasberg Update, Insiders Sell in February
Freeport-McMoRan is one of the world's largest copper mining companies. The stock plunged in September 2025 after a mudslide at Freeport's Grasberg mine in Indonesia that resulted in numerous fatalities and a shutdown of the facility. The company plans a phased restart in Q2 2026, targeting about 85% of total production in the second half of the year.
Despite that catastrophe, Freeport shares have rallied strongly since late September 2025, up more than 75%. Rising copper prices have been an important driver, with copper futures climbing over 20% during the same period.
Amid the rally, several insiders have been selling. Company filings show insiders sold just under $34 million of shares in February, and none of those sales were disclosed as occurring under 10b5-1 plans.
Insiders reduced positions by amounts ranging from roughly 10% to more than 40%. The largest percentage reductions came from Freeport's CFO and its Chief Accounting Officer — two executives deeply familiar with the company's financial reporting and capital allocation choices.
These insider sales at Freeport are a meaningful bearish indicator and merit continued monitoring.
Keep an Eye on RCL's Insider Activity
The insider sales at Royal Caribbean raise the most questions among the three. While the company's guidance points to strength, management may have believed the market overreacted to the report, driving the stock above levels supported by fundamentals. Given the size and breadth of the insider sales, RCL's activity warrants closer scrutiny going forward.
