In a striking move in the tech investment world SoftBank Group of Japan announced the sale of its entire stake in Nvidia valued at approximately $5.83 billion raising questions in global markets about whether this signals a saturation of AI-related stock prices and potential overvaluation of tech companies.
SoftBank was one of Nvidia's earliest investors, starting to acquire shares in 2017 and benefited from the massive increase in Nvidia’s market value in recent years due to the AI boom and advanced graphics processing units (GPUs).
However after Nvidia’s stock surged by over 350% since 2023 the Japanese company decided to exit its investment realizing significant profits in what is considered one of its largest deals in a decade.
