Nvidia Returns, Palantir Remains As Top Funds Bank On This Stock





After going AWOL last month, artificial intelligence giant Nvidia ( NVDA) bounced back onto the latest list of new buys by the best mutual funds, alongside fellow Magnificent Seven member Alphabet ( GOOGL). Riding the enduring AI wave, Palantir Technologies ( PLTR), Broadcom ( AVGO), AppLovin ( APP) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing ( TSM) also etched their names on the list.

But the best mutual funds bet the biggest "dinero" on Spanish bank Banco Santander ( SAN). These savvy money managers scooped up an eye-catching $14.76 billion worth of shares in the global financial juggernaut. Fellow money center stock JPMorgan Chase ( JPM) also made the list, but did not join Santander, Nvidia and Alphabet among the eight companies that raked in at least $1 billion in the latest report.
