Institutional investors are losing confidence in NVDA
On June 27, Wells Fargo announced adjustments to its Signature Picks equity portfolio, reducing its overweight position in Nvidia from 6.8% to 5%, citing “risk purposes.”
Additionally, seasoned tech investor Paul Wick of Seligman Investments has reduced his holdings in Nvidia, expressing doubts about the company’s future earnings growth.
Speaking at a UBS Group event in Singapore, Wick mentioned that his enthusiasm for Nvidia had diminished over the past one to two weeks. However, he did not specify the extent of his NVDA stake reduction.
Strong insider activity, coupled with the sales of institutional shareholders, might indicate a potential downturn in the NVDA stock price in the future.
