NVIDIA's 13F Bombshell: A New AI Power Trio Emerges

Authored by Leo Miller. Publication Date: 2/19/2026.

NVIDIA “13F” filing graphic on a circuit board with rising chart, signaling institutional holdings disclosure.

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 headline-grabbing news. Semiconductor giant NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) released its latest 13F SEC filing, disclosing the stocks it held, added and sold during Q4 2025. As the firm leading the artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure boom, NVIDIA's trades are watched closely by investors.

The filing not only shows which stocks NVIDIA now values, but also highlights strategic moves across the AI and semiconductor ecosystem. While NVIDIA announced many of these transactions earlier in 2025, the 13F reveals additional details. The clearest takeaways are where NVIDIA increased exposure, where it exited, and what it chose to keep unchanged.

Intel and Synopsys Become NVIDIA's Top Holdings

Three new names appeared on NVIDIA's latest 13F: Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), Synopsys (NASDAQ: SNPS) and Nokia (NYSE: NOK). NVIDIA announced these investments in press releases throughout 2025, but the 13F provides the full holdings snapshot.

Intel is now NVIDIA's largest public equity holding. At the end of Q4, NVIDIA held more than 214 million Intel shares, valued at roughly $7.9 billion — about 61% of NVIDIA's public equity portfolio. NVIDIA first disclosed the Intel stake in September 2025, when it announced a $5 billion purchase at $23.28 per share. Since that announcement, Intel shares have risen significantly — up nearly 50% overall, including a 23% jump immediately following NVIDIA's press release.

Synopsys is one of the two dominant companies in electronic design automation (EDA), the software used to design advanced chips. Synopsys also owns essential intellectual property used as "building blocks" in semiconductor design. NVIDIA held more than 4.8 million Synopsys shares valued at over $2.2 billion at the end of Q4. Synopsys has gained more than 5% since NVIDIA announced 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 appear driven as much by strategic alignment as by potential returns. With Intel, NVIDIA is expanding its footprint in the x86 central processing unit (CPU) ecosystem.

Intel will produce x86 CPUs that NVIDIA can integrate into both data center and personal computing products. In the CPU market, x86 architectures compete with Arm-based processors, led by ARM (NASDAQ: ARM), a company NVIDIA sold its stake in during Q4.

Arm reported it controlled around 20% of the data center CPU market at the end of its 2025 fiscal year, leaving most of the market to x86, where Intel competes with Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD). While NVIDIA continues to work with Arm as its architecture gains share, the Intel investment strengthens NVIDIA's position across the broader CPU landscape.

There's another layer to the strategy: Intel is among Synopsys's largest customers. Synopsys typically benefits when semiconductor companies launch new chip-design programs — exactly the kind of activity the NVIDIA–Intel partnership implies. That creates a potentially mutually reinforcing relationship among NVIDIA, Intel and Synopsys, especially if their collaboration leads to more design work. NVIDIA is also working directly with Synopsys to accelerate chip design workflows.

NVIDIA Sells One Neocloud, Holds Two Others

NVIDIA removed four names from its portfolio in Q4 2025 that it had not previously disclosed: Applied Digital (NASDAQ: APLD), Arm, Recursion Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: RXRX), and WeRide (NASDAQ: WRD). At the end of Q3, those positions ranged in value from about $17 million to $177 million, according to prior filings tracked by MarketBeat.

The most notable of these exits for retail investors is Applied Digital. Its shares fell after NVIDIA's 13F disclosed the sale. Applied Digital is a neocloud provider offering cloud infrastructure optimized for AI workloads — a more specialized offering compared with hyperscalers like Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN), which provide both general-purpose and AI-centric infrastructure.

What makes the Applied Digital sale notable is that NVIDIA kept stakes in two other neocloud companies: CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV) and Nebius Group (NASDAQ: NBIS). That contrast suggests NVIDIA has greater confidence in CoreWeave and Nebius's prospects relative to Applied Digital.

What the Q4 2025 Filing Signals About NVIDIA's AI Infrastructure Priorities

In Q4 2025, NVIDIA streamlined its public equity portfolio and doubled down on strategic partnerships. The company deepened relationships with Intel and Synopsys while exiting smaller, less central names like Recursion and WeRide. The sale of Applied Digital — coupled with continued stakes in CoreWeave and Nebius — further underscores a more focused approach to backing AI infrastructure providers. Taken together, the 13F paints a picture of a company aligning its public holdings to support a clearer set of priorities across the AI infrastructure stack.

Why Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile Are Beating the Market in 2026

Authored by Leo Miller. Publication Date: 2/13/2026.

Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T logos beside a cell tower, symbolizing strong 2026 telecom gains.

Key Points

  • While telecom earnings cycles can feature clear winners and losers, this wasn't the case in Q4.
  • The United States' Big Three telecom companies all impressed investors, for one reason or another.
  • Still, Verizon delivered a standout performance, massively beating expectations on wireless customer additions.
  • Special Report: [Sponsorship-Ad-6-Format3]

For U.S. telecom giants, 2026 has gotten off to a strong start. As shown below, Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ), AT&T (NYSE: T), and T-Mobile US (NASDAQ: TMUS) are all handily outperforming the S&P 500 Index.

Total returns for 2026 through Feb. 12 close:

  • Verizon: 23%
  • AT&T: 18%
  • T-Mobile US: 6%
  • S&P 500: 0%

This strength isn't explained by broader sector gains. The Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSEARCA: XLC), a proxy for the sector, has a -3% total return in 2026. Instead, strong earnings reports and forward guidance from these three companies have driven much of the outperformance.

Verizon Sees Best Post-Earnings Gain in Recent Memory

Verizon stole the show in telecom with its latest earnings report, released on Jan. 30. Shares jumped nearly 12% that day — Verizon's largest post-earnings gain in at least ten years. Revenue rose 2%, and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.09 slightly beat expectations, but those modest beats weren't the main catalyst.

The company added 616,000 net postpaid wireless subscribers, its highest level in five years. Those additions matter because they translate into recurring revenue over many periods.

The result far exceeded the 417,000 net adds analysts had forecast. Verizon also raised its outlook, expecting 750,000 to 1,000,000 net additions in 2026 — roughly two to three times its 2025 level.

Analysts remain mixed on Verizon; the consensus price target implies about 1% downside. However, every price target tracked after the earnings release moved higher, suggesting analysts believe the company is on the right track. Verizon's 5.5% dividend yield also materially boosts its return profile.

AT&T's Fiber–Postpaid Convergence Plan Keeps Winning

AT&T impressed with its Q4 2025 earnings, released on Jan. 28. The stock rose 4.6% that day and gained another 4% over the following two days. Revenue growth of 3.6% topped estimates, and adjusted EPS of $0.52 was roughly 13% above expectations. The company's 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $2.25 to $2.35 also beat forecasts.

Net postpaid wireless additions of 421,000 were essentially in line with expectations, but AT&T's convergence strategy remains a strength. About 42% of AT&T's fiber home internet customers are also postpaid wireless customers, up from 40% at the end of 2024 — a sign of increasing customer stickiness.

The consensus price target of $29.88 implies roughly 4% upside, but the two targets issued after the report average $32.50, suggesting potential upside nearer 12%. AT&T's 3.8% dividend yield is another attractive element for income-minded investors.

Analysts Eye +15% Upside After TMUS's Q4 2025

T-Mobile saw a roughly 5% jump on the day of its Feb. 11 earnings release, and gained another 2.5% the following day. Revenue growth near 18% beat estimates, but net postpaid additions of 962,000 and adjusted EPS of $1.88 fell short of expectations.

That said, T-Mobile raised its long-term outlook, which offset the quarterly weakness. For 2027 the company now expects service revenue of $81 billion at the midpoint — more than 7% higher than prior estimates — and the midpoint of adjusted free cash flow was increased to $20 billion, an uplift of over 8%.

Shares have declined modestly over the past year, creating a gap between the stock price and analyst targets. The consensus target near $256 implies about 19% upside; targets updated after the report are roughly at the same level. T-Mobile's 1.9% dividend yield is lower than its peers but still provides a meaningful income component.

VZ, T and TMUS All Walk Away as Winners After Q4

Although each company impressed for different reasons, all three U.S. telecom giants gave investors reason for optimism in their latest earnings. Looking ahead, Verizon's turnaround under its new CEO is especially compelling, while AT&T's convergence strategy and T-Mobile's upgraded long-term targets offer distinct catalysts for future gains.
