Peter Thiel Shifts Tech Investments: Exits Nvidia and Tesla for Apple and Microsoft
Billionaire investor Peter Thiel made a significant portfolio adjustment in Q3 2025, liquidating his entire Nvidia position and reducing Tesla holdings. The proceeds were reallocated to Apple and Microsoft stock, signaling a strategic pivot toward established tech giants with robust growth trajectories.
Microsoft's $470 share price reflects analyst optimism, with price targets reaching $650-$675 on the strength of its AI and cloud computing divisions. The company posted $77.7 billion in Q1 2026 revenue, an 18% year-over-year increase, with earnings anticipated January 28.
Apple achieved record $416 billion fiscal 2025 revenue as its services segment expanded. The iPhone Maker now leads global smartphone shipments with 20% market share, overtaking Samsung for the first time. Its stock rose 7% in Q4 2025 while Microsoft declined 7% during the same period.
Thiel's moves coincided with Nvidia's flat performance and Tesla's marginal 1% gain post-divestment. The investor's pared-down portfolio now concentrates on two tech titans positioned at the intersection of consumer adoption and enterprise innovation.
