Portfolio Pulse from Ananya Gairola
Nvidia Corporation (NVDA) has become the most popular stock among retail investors, surpassing Tesla Inc. (TSLA), with over $1 billion in purchases over a ten-day period compared to Tesla's under $500 million. Nvidia's stock has surged 60% year-to-date, while Tesla has declined by 18%. This shift reflects a broader change in retail sentiment, with Nvidia now seen as a bellwether of retail investment trends. Despite Nvidia's high stock price, its strong earnings growth from H100 GPU chips sales, praised by Tesla's CEO, has contributed to its popularity. Meanwhile, Tesla's retail investor interest has waned due to recent challenges and stock performance.
