Here are other AI stocks vulnerable to profit taking as Druckenmiller sells some Nvidia

Billionaire investors have begun cashing in on their Nvidia bets as the stock rockets toward new highs. But the chipmaking darling is far from the only artificial intelligence stock that’s run too far too fast. Stanley Druckenmiller told CNBC’s ” Squawk Box ” on Tuesday that he trimmed his Nvidia stake in late March, saying that the stock’s become a “little overhyped” in the short term. Elsewhere, Altimeter’s Brad Gerstner eased his stake in the chipmaker and other winning technology stocks, he told CNBC’s ” Halftime Report .” “We did cut that and a lot of other positions in late March,” Druckenmiller said. “I just need a break. We’ve had a hell of a run. A lot of what we recognized has become recognized by the marketplace now.” The legendary hedge fund manager is still bullish on AI long-term.
