NVIDIA Corp

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) CEO Satya Nadella was once OpenAI's biggest champion, having invested <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42664762/after-investing-nearly-14-billion-in-openai-microsoft-reportedly-moves-to-reduce-its-dependence-on-chatgpt-parent">about $14 billion</a> in the ChatGPT-parent. However, Nadella is now reportedly broadening the company's AI playbook.
What Happened: Earlier this year, in January, Chinese startup DeepSeek surprised the world with its low-cost R1 model. This open-source platform reportedly offered ChatGPT-level performance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/01/43243584/deepseek-r1-vs-openai-what-consumers-need-to-know-about-ais-latest-challenger">but at a fraction of the cost</a>.
The model delivered computing results for $36 that would otherwise cost $1,000 via OpenAI. Naturally, it rattled investors and led to Nvidia Corporation's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43876025/nvidia-ceo-attributed-the-deepseek-led-sell-off-to-investor-misconception-on-ai-spending-obviously-that-paradigm-is-wrong">market cap dropping nearly $600 billion</a>.
Following this, Nadella quickly convened Microsoft's top AI executives on Teams to assess the threat.&nbsp;

"OpenAI has been so far ahead that no one's really come close," the Microsoft CEO <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2025-05-15/microsoft-ceo-satya-nadella-on-his-ai-efforts-and-openai-partnership">told</a> Bloomberg Businessweek. "DeepSeek, and R1 in particular, was the first model I've seen post some points."
Interesting, Nadella didn't try to outpace DeepSeek, but embraced the model on Azure and offered it to Microsoft's customers. "Get it out," he recalled telling his team.
The CEO is now of the opinion that OpenAI is just one player. He has pivoted to offering a range of models, including Microsoft's own and third-party options like Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), OpenAI and players like Cohere, Mistral, Stability AI and DeepSeek.&nbsp;
Although this isn't true in cases like Gemini, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google, the report added.

Nadella is also pushing for cost-efficient AI, with in-house models like MAI-2 that are cheaper to run than OpenAI's ChatGPT.
As per the report, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/39062331/former-openai-board-member-who-tried-to-oust-sam-altman-says-ceo-was-fired-from-y-combinator-and-ano">temporary ousting from the AI startup</a> in 2023 damaged its relationship with Microsoft. This is why, the Nadella-led company has been building its own AI models to avoid overreliance on OpenAI.
"The relationship with OpenAI has to date been pretty amazing," Mustafa Suleyman, the head of Microsoft's consumer Copilot efforts, told the publication. "But this is a 50-year-old company that needs to be in an amazing place in 2030, 2035 and 2040."
Why It's Important: Earlier this month, it was reported that ChatGPT-parent is planning to reduce the amount of revenue it shares with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45244190/microsoft-faces-fresh-revenue-hit-as-openai-plans-to-reduce-payouts-by-2030-report">Microsoft by at least 50% by 2030</a>.
The two companies are also reportedly amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45340216/openais-ipo-ambitions-hang-in-the-balance-as-microsoft-negotiates-equity-report">high-stakes negotiations</a>, in which one major point of contention is the equity Nadella's company will get in the new OpenAI structure in return for its multibillion-dollar investment.
Price Action: In the pre-market session on Friday, Microsoft shares have dropped by 0.044%, reaching $452.93, according to data from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Based on Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Microsoft has earned an impressive growth score of 91.54%.<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound"> Click here to compare its performance with other major stocks such as</a> Alphabet and Meta.

Satya Nadella Once Bet Big On ChatGPT-Maker OpenAI — Now He's Reportedly Embracing Rivals Like DeepSeek And Building Cheaper AI Models To Future-Proof Microsoft

U.S. stock futures advanced on Friday after a mixed close on Thursday. Futures of major benchmark indices were trading higher in premarket.
The S&amp;P 500 index recorded its fourth day of gains on Thursday after turning positive for the year at the beginning of the week.
Jerome Powell, Federal Reserve Chair, indicated Thursday that the Fed is r<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45439079/powell-signals-fed-may-shift-its-inflation-strategy-after-5-year-economic-shake-up">eassessing its inflation and employment strategies</a>, suggesting potential shifts in policy following a comprehensive review scheduled for 2025. 
"Participants have indicated that they thought it would be appropriate to reconsider the language around [labor market] shortfalls," Powell said, referring to how the Fed talks about employment in its official strategy.
Nasdaq dropped after continued positive momentum from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45462404/trump-unveils-over-200-billion-worth-of-deals-with-uae-including-major-etihad-airways-commitment">partnerships with the Middle East</a> during the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum. 
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.40% and the two-year bond was at 4.93%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 91.8% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its June meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research said in his QuickTakes note that Fed Chair Powell &#8220;poked a stick&#8221; at the White House following his speech on Thursday.
Yardeni pointed out that Powell implied that the bond yields might stay elevated as a result of more frequent &#8220;supply shocks,&#8221; like tariffs.
&#8220;Higher real rates may also reflect the possibility that inflation could be more volatile going forward than in the inter-crisis period of the 2010s,&#8221; Powell said in prepared remarks for the Thomas Laubach Research Conference in Washington, D.C.
Yardeni said, &#8220;Sounds like Powell is expecting more frequent bouts of stagflation, which was associated with supply shocks in the past.&#8221;
&#8220;The stock and bond markets didn&#8217;t react much to the speech partly because today&#8217;s batch of indicators were mostly ambiguous about the near-term prospects for stagflation,&#8221; he added.
As the PPI declined in April, Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates said, &#8220;The PPI demonstrated that despite recent trade chaos, wholesale prices are falling from lackluster economic activity and surplus goods that have been &#8216;dumped&#8217; in the U.S.&#8221;
Meanwhile, commenting on the declining PPI, Jamie Cox, the managing partner at Harris Financial Group, added, &#8220;If you are in the stagflation camp, these data aren't confirming your thesis. While growth is slowing, disinflation remains intact.&#8221;
Speaking about the S&amp;P 500 earnings so far, Navellier said, &#8220;Now that 90% of the companies in the S&amp;P 500 have announced their first quarter results, earnings are running at an 11.2% annual pace, which represents the seventh straight quarter of improving earnings growth.&#8221;

Pre-Market Outlook

S&P 500 Settles Higher For Fourth Session Amid Surge In Tech Stocks: Investor Sentiment Slips, But Fear Index Stays In 'Greed' Zone

&#8216;The Big Short&#8217; famed investor Michael Burry, who accurately predicted the 2008 housing market crash, has turned bearish on most equities while doubling his stake in cosmetics giant Estée Lauder Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EL#NYSE">EL</a>) during the first quarter, according to 13F regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday.
What Happened: Burry&#8217;s Scion Asset Management increased its position in Estée Lauder to 200,000 shares from 100,000 shares at the end of the fourth quarter, despite EL stock being down 13.94% this year. The move comes as the beauty company pursues its &#8220;Beauty Reimagined&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45179419/estee-lauders-beauty-gains-cant-offset-global-headwinds-says-analyst">recovery strategy amid global headwinds</a>.
EL stock closed at $63.67 on Thursday, down 0.69% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock rose 3.85% to $66.12, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
The 13F report revealed significant portfolio adjustments, including Scion taking a substantial bearish position on artificial intelligence leader NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) through 900,000 put options. NVIDIA shares have retreated from their January all-time high of $153.13 amid macroeconomic concerns and worries about tariff impacts.

Why It Matters: Burry also completely liquidated his positions in Chinese tech companies, including Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), Baidu Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>), JD.com Inc.

This exit coincides with President Donald Trump&#8216;s April announcement of hefty import tariffs targeting China, though both nations recently agreed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44946516/goldman-sachs-ceo-says-trumps-90-day-tariff-pause-increased-the-level-of-uncertainty-triggered-market-repricing">suspend reciprocal levies for 90 days</a>.
The hedge fund manager also exited healthcare positions in HCA Healthcare Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HCA#NYSE">HCA</a>), Oscar Health Inc.

'The Big Short' Fame Michael Burry Doubled Estée Lauder Stake Despite Slump, Bet Against Nvidia And Dumps China Stocks Amid Trade War Jitters In Q1

Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) is reportedly expanding its research footprint in China with a new Shanghai-based R&amp;D center, signaling a strategic push to retain AI dominance in the region amid tightening U.S. export restrictions.
What Happened: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang met with Shanghai Mayor Gong Zheng last month to discuss plans for the new facility, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/c886a4c0-da75-4ea7-8230-6ffd18815fa4">reported</a> the Financial Times, citing two people with knowledge of the matter.
Nvidia is already leasing new office space in Shanghai to house current staff and accommodate the expansion.
While the company said that no GPU designs will be sent to China, the R&amp;D center will focus on optimizing existing products, verifying chip designs and exploring use cases like autonomous driving, the report noted.

"We are not sending any GPU designs to China to be modified to comply with export controls," Nvidia told the publication.
Why It's Important: The move underscores <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44963176/chinese-tech-firms-led-by-alibaba-hoard-nvidia-ai-chips-amid-us-sanctions">Nvidia's delicate balancing act</a>—maintaining a presence in one of its largest overseas markets while adhering to U.S. export controls.
China accounted for roughly 14% of Nvidia's revenue in 2023, or about $17 billion. Huang has said the market could be worth as much as $50 billion.
Huang previously warned that limiting access to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45243129/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-says-losing-access-to-chinas-potential-50-billion-ai-market-would-be-a-tremendous-loss">China's AI market could harm</a> not only Nvidia's business but also U.S. jobs and technological progress.
His remarks followed reports that Nvidia had notified major Chinese customers — including Alibaba Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), ByteDance and Tencent Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>) — that it is developing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45182565/nvidia-designing-new-ai-chips-for-alibaba-bytedance-tencent-after-warning-us-export-ban-on-h20-could-cost-the-company-55-billion-report">modified version of AI chips</a> to meet U.S. export restrictions.
Price Action: Nvidia shares slipped 0.096% to $134.70 in after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Nvidia currently holds a growth score of 95.06%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it stacks up against top tech firms like</a> AMD, Qualcomm, Alibaba and Tencent.

Jensen Huang-Led Nvidia Plans New Shanghai Research Hub To Stay Competitive In China As US Export Curbs Threaten AI Chip Sales: Report

Options activities show a sudden burst in bearish sentiment in the markets, particularly among large-cap tech stocks, following $33 million worth of put options being purchased.
What Happened: On Thursday, popular newsletter The Kobeissi Letter shared a chart on X, showing rising put option volumes among the &#8220;Magnificent 7&#8221; stocks, which comprise high-performing and influential U.S.-listed equities.
According to the X post, put volumes started to surge around 2 p.m. ET, ultimately reaching $33 million in total purchases before the closing bell. It marked the first time this week that bearish contracts outpaced bullish calls across the group.

&#8220;Options activity continues to be very telling,&#8221; the post says, highlighting how the late-day rotation into puts could reflect increased caution after a strong year-to-date run for most of the Magnificent 7, which have a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/12/42378468/if-you-like-big-tech-youll-love-this-etf-that-lets-you-invest-in-microsoft-nvidia-and-appl">combined market cap</a> of over $16.3 trillion.

Why It Matters: These stocks have added $3.57 to their market caps since <a href="https://benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45414023/magnificent-seven-add-36-trillion-since-april-lows-is-this-rally-just-beginning">their April lows</a>, with $1.2 trillion in gains coming within just two days of the trade de-escalations with China early this week. 
The group witnessed steep pullbacks following President Donald Trump&#8217;s Liberation Day tariffs, owing to their global scale and operations. Even after the pause was announced, the <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44916598/tariff-pause-fizzles-mag-7-stocks-slide-back-to-pre-pause-lows">stocks slipped back</a> to their pre-pause lows last month, as turbulent market conditions and uncertainties continued to persist.
While most stocks in this group still remain in the red year-to-date, they&#8217;ve recovered significantly over the past week, with the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#BATS">MAGS</a>), which tracks this grouping, rallying 21.90% over the past month.
The rising put option volumes could be in response to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45435170/jim-cramer-says-this-will-hurt-apple-president-trump-making-it-tough">fresh set of uncertainties</a> surrounding trade and tariffs by the current U.S. Administration. For instance, on Thursday, it was revealed that Trump is pressuring Apple CEO Tim Cook to stop iPhone production in India and bring manufacturing back to the United States instead.

Wall Street Getting Nervous? Magnificent 7 Giants Face $33M Bet Against Them As Market Turbulence Looms

On Thursday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) warned that President Donald Trump's support for exporting sensitive U.S. artificial intelligence chip <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45390422/trump-unveils-historic-and-transformative-600-billion-saudi-deal-predicts-markets-will-go-a-lot-higher">technology to Persian Gulf allies</a> could benefit China.
What Happened: On the Senate floor, Schumer criticized Trump for greenlighting high-stakes deals allowing advanced U.S. chips to be sold to Saudi Arabia and the UAE, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5302029-schumer-trump-saudi-ai-chip-deals/">reported</a> The Hill.
"This deal could very well be dangerous because we have no clarity on how the Saudis and Emiratis will prevent the Chinese Communist Party, the Chinese government, the Chinese manufacturing establishment from getting their hands on these chips," Schumer said.
He warned that "inevitably, when foreign countries end up with American-made chips, the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party, sooner or later gets hold of these American chips and their secrets in them."

Several U.S. tech firms — including Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) and Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) — have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45424189/nvidia-amazon-tesla-palantir-among-top-beneficiaries-of-1-trillion-saudi-arabia-ai-push-analyst-says">announced major AI chip agreements</a> with Gulf-backed entities during Trump's Middle East trip.
Nvidia alone plans to deliver 18,000 Blackwell chips to a Saudi sovereign wealth fund-backed company.
Why It's Important: Over the years, the U.S. government has imposed tight export restrictions on advanced chips over fears they could be used for military or surveillance purposes by adversaries like China.
Schumer said these new deals undermine those efforts and could shift cutting-edge manufacturing abroad.
"What's this about bringing jobs and high-end technology back to the country?" Schumer asked. "All of a sudden it's OK to give it to other countries? Especially other countries whose security might not be as tight as ours?"
Previously, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang cautioned that restricting access to China&#8217;s AI market <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45243129/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-says-losing-access-to-chinas-potential-50-billion-ai-market-would-be-a-tremendous-loss">could negatively impact</a> not only the company but also American jobs and technological innovation.
His statement came after a report indicated that Nvidia has informed major Chinese clients — including Alibaba Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), ByteDance and Tencent Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>) — that it is working on a new variant of H20 AI chip models <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45182565/nvidia-designing-new-ai-chips-for-alibaba-bytedance-tencent-after-warning-us-export-ban-on-h20-could-cost-the-company-55-billion-report">tailored to comply</a> with U.S. export regulations.

Chuck Schumer Blasts Trump For Backing AI Chip Sales To Saudi Arabia, UAE: 'This Deal Could Very Well Be Dangerous'

Intel Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) volume of processors it plans to produce for external customers using its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chip-stocks" rel="noreferrer noopener">upcoming manufacturing technology</a> is insignificant, Reuters reported on Tuesday, citing CFO David Zinsner at JP Morgan&#8217;s Global Technology, Media and Communications conference.
The chipmaker struggled to progress with its 18A and latest 14A chip manufacturing technologies.
Zinsner told Reuters that the Intel foundry is on track to break even in 2027 and would require external customers to generate low to mid-single digit billions in revenue to accomplish that.

Intel stock plunged over 31% in the last 12 months. It failed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/04/45008023/intel-weighs-taiwan-semiconductor-partnership-to-boost-chip-game" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">capitalize on the</a> shift to artificial intelligence accelerators, similar to Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>). 
Intel fired its chief Pat Gelsinger in 2024 after his turnaround plan to take on Taiwan Semiconductor failed to impress the board. Intel struggled as rivals Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) and Nvidia captured market share in data centers, AI, and GPUs.
Intel reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/earnings-beats/25/04/45016595/intel-shares-slide-as-tariff-jitters-cloud-outlook-analysts-see-more-challenges-despite-new-ceo-initiatives" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter revenue</a> of $12.7 billion, down 11% sequentially and 1% year-on-year, although it beat consensus of $12.2 billion. At the midpoint, the company guided to second-quarter revenue of $11.8 billion, significantly missing the consensus estimate of $12.8 billion.
Wall Street analysts cut their price targets on Intel after its first-quarter results, citing the beat as being driven by &#8220;customers purchasing ahead of potential tariffs,&#8221; which could impact demand in the second quarter. They also mentioned management concerns over an increasingly uncertain economic landscape.
Price Actions: On Thursday, INTC stock closed at $21.55.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is Berkshire&#8217;s Portfolio Sending A Message</h2>
According to its first quarter <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1350694/000117266125001828/xslForm13F_X02/primary_doc.xml">13F filin</a>g, the world's largest hedge fund slashed its top holding — the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) — by nearly 60%, dumping 4.9 million shares. The fund still holds over 3.3 million SPY shares, but the dramatic trim slashed its portfolio weighting from 22.1% to just 8.7%.
It didn't stop there. Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) all got haircuts, with share reductions of 18.7%, 31.5%, and 16% respectively. These aren't minor trims — they're deliberate signals. 
Dalio may no longer be Bridgewater's CEO, but his macro fingerprints still linger in the firm's playbook.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gold In, Tech Out?</h2>
If there's a pivot in the air, it's sparkling — Bridgewater added a fresh position in SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>), which now ranks in its top ten holdings. Combined with fresh buying in Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABAF#NYSE">BABAF</a>) and a double-down in emerging markets via the iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEMG#NYSE">IEMG</a>), the shift feels tactical — away from frothy U.S. equities, toward value, hedges, and international exposure.
Interestingly, while SPY took a hit, its ETF cousins iShares Core S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVV#NYSE">IVV</a>) and IEMG saw inflows. It's not a total U.S. equity exodus — it's a reallocation. And that's a warning worth watching.
For holders of SPY, IVV, and VOO, the message is mixed. While SPY got snipped, IVV was topped up. Bridgewater's moves suggest caution, not panic — but if Dalio's reading tea leaves, he's seeing clouds.

President Trump Says Think AI Project With UAE Will Be Special, Nvidia's Huang Was Here

President Donald Trump announced a sweeping $1.2 trillion economic agreement with Qatar on Wednesday, capping what he called a &#8220;historic&#8221; trip with a series of massive deals spanning aviation, defense, energy and technology. That comes on top of $600 billion investment commitment secured in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/05/45405067/saudi-arabia-bets-big-on-ai-teams-up-with-aws-and-nvidia">Saudi Arabia a day earlier. </a>
Central to the announcements was a record-breaking $96 billion order from Qatar Airways for Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and GE Aerospace (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>). 
"We just had a tremendous order of Boeing. This is Boeing, and this is General Electric," Trump said during a roundtable with U.S. business leaders in Qatar. 
"General Electric, I hear, makes the best large airplane engine in the world—by not even a contest."
The deal includes up to 210 Boeing 787 Dreamliner and 777X aircraft, all powered by GE Aerospace engines. According to a White House fact sheet, the agreement will support 154,000 U.S. jobs annually, totaling over 1 million jobs during production and delivery. 
Larry Culp, CEO of GE Aerospace, called it a historic commitment: "We&#8217;re thrilled about the commitment that Qar Airways has made to both Boeing and GE Aerospace&#8230; with the largest widebody order really in our company&#8217;s history."
"All of these aircraft will be built in the United States, creating a significant number of jobs&#8230; This is the largest widebody aircraft order in Boeing&#8217;s history," Boeing executive Kelly Maloney added.
Shares of GE Aerospace opened 0.7% higher reaching fresh record highs, while Boeing rose 1.9%. 
The White House noted that Qatar's deals extend beyond aerospace, with major commitments in defense, energy, infrastructure, quantum computing, and AI.
Trump also praised Raytheon Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>) and General Atomics for securing deals worth $3 billion in advanced drone and counter-drone systems. The agreements will bolster Qatar's military capabilities while supporting U.S. manufacturing jobs in defense.
In energy, U.S. firm McDermott is working on $8.5 billion in LNG infrastructure projects with QatarEnergy. 
Parsons Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSN#NYSE">PSN</a>) secured 30 contracts valued at up to $97 billion, and Quantinuum launched a $1 billion joint venture in quantum technology with Qatari partner Al Rabban Capital.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Manufacturing, AI and Jobs: A "New Golden Age"</h3>
Trump said the investment wave is ushering in what he called a "new Golden Age" for U.S. manufacturing. He claimed tech giants including Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and chipmakers were boosting American operations.
He highlighted Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang's reported $600 billion investment and a separate $200 billion chip plant in Arizona, calling it the largest in the world.
"Apple's already in for $500 billion&#8230; but now I hear they're building all over India," Trump said, revealing he pressured CEO Tim Cook to boost U.S. production.
"We want you to build here."
President Donald Trump claimed the United States has the potential to attract up to $10 trillion in investments, citing pledges from Gulf allies, foreign governments, defense deals and technology expansions. 
"We have a country that now has… at least $10 trillion of investment and potential investment," Trump said, comparing it to the previous administration's total of "half a trillion."

In-Depth Analysis: NVIDIA Versus Competitors In Semiconductors &amp; Semiconductor Equipment Industry

The Trump administration forged a preliminary deal with the United Arab Emirates involving importing 500,000 of Nvidia Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ai-chips" rel="noreferrer noopener">advanced AI chips</a> annually.
The deal was at least through 2027 but could be in place until 2030, Reuters reported on Wednesday, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter.
Under the deal, 20% of the chips, or 100,000 of them per year, will serve UAE&#8217;s tech firm G42, while the rest would be split among U.S. companies, including Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)&nbsp;and Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) that might also seek to build data centers in the UAE.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">NVIDIA Stock Prediction For 2025</h2>
Equity research analysts on and off Wall Street typically use earnings growth and fundamental research as a form of valuation and forecasting. But many in trading turn to technical analysis as a way to form predictive models for share price trajectory.
Some investors look to trends to help forecast where they believe a stock could trade at a certain point in the future. Looking at NVIDIA, an investor could make an assessment about a stock's long term prospects using a moving average and trend line. If they believe a stock will remain above the moving average, which many believe is a bullish signal, they can extrapolate that trend into the future using a trend line. For NVIDIA, the 200-day moving average sits at $125.33, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, which is below the current price of $133.04. For more on charts and trend lines, <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">see a description here.</a>
Traders believe that when a stock is above its moving average, it is a generally bullish signal, and when it crosses below, it is a more negative signal. Investors could use trend lines to make an educated guess about where a stock could trade at a later date if conditions remain stable.
Price Actions: NVDA stock is down 1.40% at $133.45 at the last check on Thursday.

Nvidia Scores Big As Trump Brokers Major AI Export Pact With UAE and US Tech Giants

Back in 2009, Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) was a modest $5 billion chipmaker, overshadowed by Intel Corp's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) $90 billion dominance.
Fast forward 16 years and Nvidia's market cap has skyrocketed to $3.3 trillion &#8211; making it 35 times more valuable than Intel's $95 billion. This extraordinary surge reflects Nvidia's transformation from a niche graphics card producer to the beating heart of the AI revolution.
Its GPUs now power everything from data centers to autonomous vehicles, fueling investor enthusiasm and a massive re-rating.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Valuation Dynamics: Growth Premium Vs. Legacy Drag</h2>
Nvidia's current P/E ratio of <a href="https://fullratio.com/stocks/nasdaq-nvda/pe-ratio">45.6</a>, though high by traditional standards, actually sits below its 10-year average of 52.6, signaling that investors still see room for growth. 
Its forward P/E of 31.4 and PEG ratio under two reinforce this bullish outlook.
Meanwhile, Intel struggles with a negative earnings yield and a sky-high forward P/E of 80, reflecting challenges in regaining its footing. 
Intel's dated product lineup and execution issues contrast sharply with Nvidia's innovation-led momentum.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Looking Ahead: Earnings, Expectations, And The Future Of Chips</h2>
With Nvidia's first quarter earnings due May 28, the market is watching closely for signs of sustained growth amid a recent 20% monthly pullback. 
For Intel, the road ahead looks steeper as it struggles to catch up in AI and advanced manufacturing.
Ultimately, the 35x valuation gap isn't just about current profits &#8211; it's a market verdict on which company is shaping the future of computing. For now, Nvidia continues to lead the charge.

Top 10 Trending Stocks On WallStreetBets As Of May 15, 2025 (Via Swaggy Stocks)

CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer sounded the alarm for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) on Thursday, warning that the tech giant &#8220;will hurt&#8221; as President Donald Trump ramps up pressure on CEO Tim Cook to halt iPhone production in India and bring manufacturing back to the United States.
What Happened: In a post on X, Cramer highlighted the challenges Apple faces in India due to Trump&#8217;s trade policies, stating, &#8220;President Trump making it tough for Apple in India…&#8221;
Adding that it would be &#8220;Tiresome but will hurt….&#8221; the iPhone maker.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">President Trump making it tough for Apple in India&#8230; But who else is selling all tech? Which firm downgraded tech? I hope this isn&#39;t just another billionaire&#39;s comment (this time the Mets owner?). Tiresome but will hurt&#8230;.
&mdash; Jim Cramer (@jimcramer) <a href="https://twitter.com/jimcramer/status/1922948424296472815?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 15, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Cramer's comments come amid broader concerns about the tech sector, with <a href="https://www.truist.com/wealth/insights/market-navigator/mn-6">Truist downgrading tech stocks</a> due to overperformance by companies like Apple, Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), and Google&#8217;s parent Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>). 
The pressure on Apple intensified as Trump directly told Cook, &#8220;I don't want you building over there. I want you building here in the United States,&#8221; according to a <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/15/trump-told-tim-cook-he-doesnt-want-apple-building-iphones-in-india.html">report</a> from CNBC. 
Trump's directive aligns with his broader push to bolster U.S. manufacturing, a cornerstone of his trade agenda. 
His administration has imposed steep tariffs on imports, including a 26% tariff on Indian imports, which is currently on hold for 90 days as of April 2025.
These tariffs have already forced Apple to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44706383/apple-airlifts-iphones-from-india-and-china-in-72-hour-race-to-beat-trumps-tariffs-as-stock-sinks-amid-us-china-trade-panic">airlift 600 tons of iPhones</a>—approximately 1.5 million units—from India to the U.S. to mitigate rising costs.

Why It Matters: This comes after Apple announced its plans to import <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45014074/apple-plans-iphone-shift-from-china-to-india-amid-tariff-pressures-geopolitical-risks">most U.S. iPhones from India</a> by 2026, doubling India output to over 80M units. 
"I had a little problem with Tim Cook yesterday," Trump said. "I said to him, ‘my friend, I treated you very good. You're coming here with $500 billion, but now I hear you're building all over India.' I don't want you building in India.&#8221;
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43912631/apple-forced-to-kiss-the-ring-expert-questions-whether-trump-pushed-the-iphone-maker-for-500-billion-investment">$500 billion investment</a> by Apple in the U.S. was announced in February, with a timeline of four years. Apple aims to double the U.S. Advanced Manufacturing Fund, including silicon production in Arizona, and intends to start a manufacturing academy in Michigan. &#8211;
Price Action: Shares of Apple fell 0.28% on Wednesday and declined 1.01% in pre-market trading on Thursday. The stock was down 2.93% on a year-to-date basis and up 11.92% over a year.

Its momentum ranking was moderate at the 61.99th percentile, whereas its value ranking was poor at the 8.02th percentile; the details of other metrics are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">available here</a>.
