Four times a year, investors get a golden opportunity: the chance to check out the experts’ latest investment moves. How does this happen? Managers of securities in excess of $100 million must file their most recent trades on Form 13F with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These forms are available to the public, allowing us to take a look — and potentially get investment inspiration.
Last quarter, billionaire Don Loeb made a surprise move, selling shares of several artificial intelligence (AI) leaders — but adding to his position in a key AI stock, which has risen nearly 453,000% since its initial public offering. Obviously, Loeb thinks this winning player has a lot of room to run, even after such extraordinary achievements. Let’s take a closer look at the big AI moves of this investment.

First, though, it’s important to consider the general market environment when the lob makes these moves. That’s the fourth quarter of last year, and early in the period, AI stocks, the players driving the stock market’s gains, continued to rise — but by the middle of the quarter, concerns arose about AI stocks’ high valuations and the possibility of a bubble forming. And that resulted in a decline in many of these stocks in November.
Loeb, who oversees $7.2 billion in 13F securities at Point III, invests heavily in technology stocks, with those players in three of the five top positions in his fund. Technology stocks have also been among his biggest investment areas in the past year.
Now, let’s look at the moves Loeb made in the fourth quarter.
Loeb locked his position Meta platforms(NASDAQ: META )a stock he has held since the third quarter of 2023. In the third quarter of last year, it accounted for 1.8% of the portfolio.
Billionaires cut themselves short Amazon(NASDAQ: AMZN ) 22% retention. It’s still a big position, though, ranking No. 3 in the portfolio with a weight of 6.8%. He has held the stock since the second quarter of 2023.
Loeb reduced his position Microsoft(NASDAQ: MSFT ) by 15%. This stock also remains a significant stock with a weight of 6.1%. It is the fourth largest property and has been part of the portfolio since the fourth quarter of 2022.
The investment giant added to it Nvidia(NASDAQ: NVDA ) Location, it is only less than 4%. It now represents more than 7% of the portfolio and is Loeb’s second largest holding. He has owned the stock since the first quarter of last year.
We don’t know the exact reasons behind Loeb’s moves, but it’s clear that he believes Nvidia can go even further, even after its huge gains since its 1999 IPO, and is well-positioned to take advantage of the current and future phases of AI growth.
It’s important to note that, as the infrastructure build phase unfolds, Nvidia should continue to see explosive demand. That spending, which the company predicts could reach $4 trillion by the end of the decade, will power the ramp-up of data centers, and a key element here is the AI chip. And this is exciting news for Nvidia, which, as the AI chip leader, sells the world’s most powerful graphics processing units (GPUs).
And this market giant should also benefit as these data centers unlock capacity, as customers will need the best and latest chips to power AI applications to real-world problems. For example, GPUs are needed for analysis, or the “thinking” process that the model uses to do its job.
At the same time, Loeb hasn’t given up on Amazon and Microsoft, the leading cloud providers that should be generating long-term growth as customers flock to them for their AI projects. In these cloud providers, customers can find Nvidia products as well as a wide range of other AI products and services.
As for Meta, the stock rose about 140% while it was in Loeb’s portfolio, and although it may have room to run, some investors are worried about the company’s aggressive spending on AI.
In any case, Loeb’s moves in the quarter show an ongoing commitment to the AI story, and if the billionaire is right, many AI stocks still have plenty of room to run over time.
