Trump discloses big buys of shares in Boeing and Nvidia as the companies look set to gain from his China trip

President Donald Trump has filed a disclosure showing massive buying and selling of U.S. stocks, index funds and other securities, including a purchase of at least $1 million in shares of Boeing and Nvidia as those companies expect to score new business during his trip to China.

The 113-page disclosure indicated that Trump bought Boeing shares BA -4.17% and Nvidia shares
NVDA +3.46% on Feb. 10, and the amount purchased in each case was between $1 million and $5 million. Disclosure forms typically allow government officials to list a range rather than an exact amount.

Trump revamps stock portfolio, adding Nvidia and other AI names

Investing.com -- President Donald Trump’s latest OGE Form 278-T disclosure reveals a significant paring of his larger technology holdings during the first quarter of 2026. Large-scale sales of Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN), Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META), and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) were recorded in the peak-valuation tier of $5 million to $25 million.

Despite these heavy liquidations, the filings show the President maintained active exposure by executing smaller purchases in each of these three companies. For instance, several acquisitions of Meta Platforms stock occurred throughout early 2026, ranging from $1,001 to $500,000, while Amazon and Microsoft buys ranged from $1,001 to $5 million.

While trimming some legacy positions, Trump established new multi-million dollar positions in the $1 million to $5 million range. High-profile entries in this bracket included semiconductor leaders NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA), Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:AVGO), Synopsys Inc (NASDAQ:SNPS), Cadence Design Systems Inc (NASDAQ:CDNS), and Texas Instruments Incorporated (NASDAQ:TXN).

The disclosure also highlights substantial million-dollar entries into Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) and enterprise software leaders such as Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL), ServiceNow Inc (NYSE:NOW), Adobe Systems Incorporated (NASDAQ:ADBE), and Workday Inc (NASDAQ:WDAY). The software acquisitions come as the sector has seen steep discounts driven by AI-related concerns and limited visibility.
