Nvidia Corp.’s NVDA recent volatility may have given some investors sleepless nights, but a big-ticket hedge fund manager dismissed these worries on Tuesday.
A Multifaceted Market Landscape: Speaking at the International Futures Industry conference in Boca Raton, Florida, Ken Griffin, the founder and CEO of multinational hedge fund Citadel, depicted the current stock market as a multilayered narrative.
Reflecting on the market dynamics, Griffin delved into the dichotomy of high-flying tech stocks leading the charge in AI innovation and the more traditionally valued sectors across the market.
Griffin advocated for a diversified investment strategy in response to this unique market environment.
“It’s a moment where one can either chase the vigor of revolutionary companies shaping the future or opt for sectors demonstrating a more conservative risk-reward profile in line with historical averages,” he elaborated.
AI Investment Exuberance: While expressing uncertainty about the potential bubble in AI-focused stocks, Griffin lauded Nvidia’s current standing, remarking, “The Nvidia team appears to be at the pinnacle of their performance… They’ve executed exceptionally well.”
He underscored Nvidia’s pivotal role in the AI landscape, emphasizing the company’s adeptness in leveraging this transformative trend.
Griffin also highlighted the evolving accessibility of large-language models, pointing to Anthropic, an AI startup supported by Google and Amazon, as a significant competitor to OpenAI.
“The barriers to developing a cutting-edge model seem lower now compared to nine or twelve months ago,” he observed.
“The future contenders in the AI space remain uncertain,” Griffin conceded. “The positioning of AMD in its competition with Nvidia, and Intel’s trajectory, are unknowns. However, currently, Nvidia enjoys a favorable position,” he concluded.
Nvidia experienced a 1.51% uptick to $933.04 in premarket trading on Wednesday, according to Benzinga Pro data.
