Nvidia’s latest wobble in the market is not just about a bad day for a hot stock. It is a stress test of the entire artificial intelligence trade, as investors suddenly confront the idea that Google’s homegrown chips might chip away at Nvidia’s dominance faster than expected. The selloff reflects real competitive risk, but it…
Bill Ackman is preparing to bring a new Pershing Square vehicle to public markets, targeting a $5 billion initial public offering for a U.S. listed closed-end fund that would give everyday investors access to his concentrated style of stock picking.
