Tesla Loses Appeal as Gerber Sees More Upside Elsewhere
Prominent investor Ross Gerber, CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth & Investment Management, has been a longtime backer of Tesla (TSLA). However, following the latest stock market correction, Gerber has reassessed his portfolio and is shifting his focus to other high-potential assets.
Instead of doubling down on Tesla, Gerber is betting on Nvidia (NVDA), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), and Meta Platforms (META)—three stocks that he believes offer strong valuation and growth potential. Additionally, he has made a surprising move by selling off most of his Bitcoin (BTC) holdings in favor of gold, citing concerns about market volatility and uncertainty surrounding the Trump administration.
Why Ross Gerber is Bullish on Nvidia (NVDA)
Despite Nvidia’s recent 30% pullback from its all-time highs, Gerber sees the dip as an opportunity.
📉 Valuation Looks Attractive: Nvidia, a leader in artificial intelligence (AI) and semiconductor technology, has faced a sharp sell-off due to tariff concerns and investor fears about profit margins. However, Gerber believes these fears are overblown.
📈 Earnings Growth Potential: Nvidia’s forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio has dropped to 20x earnings, which, given its projected 75% earnings growth in 2025, makes it a bargain, according to Gerber.
💰 Stock Buybacks Signal Confidence: The company is actively buying back shares, reinforcing management’s confidence in Nvidia’s long-term prospects.
“You could actually buy Nvidia at 20x earnings, and their expected earnings are projected to go up 75% this year,” Gerber noted.
JPMorgan (JPM): A Strong Play in the Banking Sector
Another stock Gerber is bullish on is JPMorgan Chase (JPM), the largest bank in the United States.
💼 Banks Set for a Strong Year: With reduced regulatory pressures under the current administration, financial institutions like JPMorgan are poised for growth.
📊 Attractive Valuation: JPMorgan trades at a forward P/E of 11.2x, which is a 45% discount compared to the broader S&P 500 index.
“Banks will have a pretty good year with less regulation, and banks are cheap,” Gerber said.
Given rising interest rates and continued economic strength, JPMorgan remains a key player in the financial sector.
Meta Platforms (META) and Other High-Potential Stocks
In addition to Nvidia and JPMorgan, Gerber added Meta Platforms (META) to his portfolio.
📢 Meta’s Dominance in AI and Advertising: Despite regulatory challenges, Meta remains a dominant force in social media, AI, and digital advertising.
💡 Other Stocks Gerber Likes:
- GE Vernova (GEV) – A renewable energy spin-off from General Electric.
- TKO Group (TKO) – The company behind UFC and WWE, benefiting from global sports entertainment trends.
- Disney (DIS) – A recovery play, as the entertainment giant restructures under new leadership.
Bitcoin vs. Gold: Why Gerber is Exiting Crypto
In a surprising move, Gerber sold most of his Bitcoin holdings and shifted into gold.
💰 Bitcoin’s Volatility is a Concern: While Bitcoin has seen strong gains post-election, Gerber believes its extreme price swings make it unreliable for long-term investment.
📉 Taking Profits After a Surge: “For my fund, we raised our allocation to 4% and then we made good money on it. But I’ve learned my lesson over the years trading Bitcoin—it’s just too volatile,” he said.
🔶 Gold as a Safe-Haven Asset: With ongoing political and economic uncertainty, Gerber sees gold as a more stable investment. He believes that concerns surrounding the Trump administration will drive investors toward risk-off assets like gold.
“Uncertainty around the Trump administration should be a tailwind for gold,” he explained.
Investment Outlook: What’s Next?
As market volatility remains high, Gerber’s strategic pivot highlights the importance of:
✅ Identifying undervalued stocks with strong earnings potential (Nvidia, JPMorgan, Meta).
✅ Balancing risk and reward by shifting into stable, defensive assets like gold.
✅ Avoiding excessive exposure to volatile investments, as seen with Gerber’s move away from Bitcoin.
With continued macroeconomic uncertainty, investors will be watching whether Gerber’s repositioning pays off in the months ahead.
