Griffin's Citadel Fund Rates NVIDIA Buy, Tesla Sell Amid AI Trade Bets

Kenneth Griffin's Citadel fund is known for its strict criteria when evaluating stocks. According to the fund's playbook, NVIDIA (NVDA) is a buy at $221.88 due to strong earnings growth and clean risk/reward profile. In contrast, Tesla (TSLA) is a sell at $325.76 because of its high valuation and poor operating margins.

Meta Platforms (META) falls somewhere in between, with Griffin's fund holding onto the stock at $593.82 due to its attractive valuation and dominance in the AI space. However, the fund will wait for Meta to prove that its massive capex bill is producing incremental returns before increasing its conviction.
