Billionaire investor George Soros has made significant shifts in his investment portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2025, focusing heavily on artificial intelligence semiconductor stocks while reducing his exposure to certain software companies. Soros Fund Management allocated approximately $137 million into four major chip manufacturers: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), Nvidia, Broadcom, and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).
In a noteworthy move, the fund increased its stake in TSMC by 157%, acquiring 213,766 additional shares. TSMC reported a robust Q4 revenue of $33.73 billion, reflecting a 25.5% year-over-year growth, and its earnings per share (EPS) surged by 35% to reach $3.14. Alongside this, Soros added 117,973 shares of Nvidia, elevating his investment in the company by 21.5%, which amounted to around $22 million as of mid-February. Soros also entered new positions in Broadcom and AMD amid a strong performance by the semiconductor sector, evidenced by a 60% increase in the semiconductor ETF SOXX over the past year.
Additionally, Soros expanded his technology portfolio with a notable acquisition of 161,298 shares in Microsoft, constituting a substantial 158% increase. The investor also picked up 66,503 shares of Apple, while Amazon continues to be the largest holding in his portfolio, with a 6% increase over the period.
On the cryptocurrency front, Soros opened a new position in Coinbase (COIN) as the crypto market faced a significant decline, suggesting his commitment to maintaining exposure to the volatile crypto sector through this publicly traded platform.
Conversely, Soros made strategic cuts to his positions in several software stocks, reducing his stake in Alphabet Inc. by 2.9% after a notable stock price increase of 31.7% in the same quarter. This included a drastic 65% cut to his holding in Snowflake and a reduction in Datadog, alongside a complete exit from Intuit. The overall performance of the software sector has been weak recently, with the sector ETF IGV down 23% year-to-date in 2026, making these sell-offs seem timely.
Meanwhile, internal movements at Alphabet also drew attention, as John Kent Walker, Alphabet’s President of Global Affairs and Chief Legal Officer, sold 47,574 shares of GOOGL for approximately $14.34 million. The transaction, conducted through the Arete Trust, reduced his total holdings by 78.25%. This sale followed Alphabet’s strong Q4 performance, where the company reported an EPS of $2.82—beating expectations of $2.59—and a revenue of $113.83 billion, marking an 18% increase year-over-year.
Analysts currently maintain a consensus “Buy” rating on GOOGL, with an average price target of $343.90. The stock was trading around $303.56, situated between a 52-week range of $142.66 to $350.15. Notably, Alphabet’s Gemini AI model has recently achieved a score of 77.1% on the ARC-AGI-2 benchmark, bolstering optimism surrounding the company’s advancements in AI technology, alongside new partnerships with Sea Ltd and Apple.
In summary, Soros’s strategic investments highlight a strong belief in the future of AI technology and its applications, while cautioning against an overheated software market.
