Englander bought 808,973 shares from Applovin and increases his position by 114%. Applovin is now one of the 20 largest positions in its hedge fund with the exception of options.

NVIDIA specializes in accelerated computing, a discipline that combines specialized hardware and software to speed up difficult data center workload, such as artificial intelligence (AI). Although the company is best known for graphic processing units (GPUs), chips is often called AI rapiders, Nvidia is particularly formidable because it participates in so many parts of the AI economy.
Susquehanna Estimations Nvidia has a market share of 84% in AI accelerators, but the company is a supplement to its GPUs with adjacent hardware such as central processing units and network platforms. In reality, Morningstar Estimates NVIDIA has more than 50% market share in network equipment used for generative AI workloads and expects the company to retain its leadership through at least 2028.
NVIDIA reported impressive financial results in the third quarter of the tax 2025, which ended in October and defeated estimates at the top and business results. Turnover increased by 94% to $ 35 billion and the net income Non-Gaap rose by 103% to $ 0.81 per watered share, which marked the sixth consecutive quarter in which the company reported the profit growth of triple figures.
NVIDIA has an important catalyst in the recent launch of his Blackwell GPU, which handles AI training to four times faster and AI conclusion up to 30 times faster than his previous Hopper GPU. CEO Jensen Huang told shareholders last year: “The Blackwell architecture platform will probably be the most successful product in our history and even in the entire computer history.”
Wall Street expects that the adjusted income of Nvidia will increase by 39% per year by Fiscal 2027, which ends in January 2027. This ensures that the current appreciation of 53 times adapted income looks reasonable, which raises the question: why does Englander have Sold the shares in the fourth quarter in the fourth quarter? I suspect he just moves money to tackle other opportunities. I doubt that he has lost confidence in Nvidia when the share is still the fourth largest company in his hedge fund, apart from options contracts.
Applovin offers advertising technical software that helps the market for mobile developers to put on the market and to make money with their applications. The company also offers tools that serve the same goal for Publishers of Connected TV (CTV), and it has recently introduced an e-commerce marketing product with which brands can reach consumers via mobile advertisements.
Applovin has distinguished itself with Axon, a machine learning algorithm that is focused on advertising in a very effective way. A few years ago it started gamest studios to train Axon, and launched a more advanced version called Axon 2.0 in 2023. Improved recommendation options led to an increase in spending on advertisers, who translated into strong financial performance in the past quarter .
Applovin reported financial results in the fourth quarter that crushed the estimates of Wall Street on the upper and company rules. Turnover increased by 44% to $ 1.4 billion and GAAP income rose by 253% to $ 0.49 per watered share. “During the quarter, our advertising company continued to stimulate increased performance for our mobile gaming partners, combined with positive early results for e-commerce advertisers during the holidays,” said CFO Matt Stumpf.
It is important that Applovin has also announced plans to sell its game development studios for $ 900 million. That will benefit the company in two ways. Firstly, sales from his apps fell in the most recent quarter, so the rejection will eliminate the weakest part of the company. Secondly, it will streamline the operations by allowing Applovin to concentrate exclusively on his advertising technical software, including the emerging e-commerce product.
Wall Street estimates that Applovin’s income will increase by 42% per year until 2026. That makes the current appreciation of 112 times that income looks relatively expensive. But among 30 analysts who follow Applovin, the median target price is $ 538 per share. That means 5% an increase in the current share price of $ 510. Nevertheless, investors who buy shares today have to keep their positions small in view of the increased appreciation.
