Nvidia reduced its stake in British chip firm Arm Holdings by about 44% and exited its holdings in Serve Robotics and SoundHound AI in the fourth quarter, a regulatory filing showed on Friday.
The artificial intelligence chip giant also reported a position of 1.7 million shares in China’s self-driving startup WeRide Inc, sending its shares up 88%.
WeRide uses Nvidia‘s advanced graphics processors and AI software to power its vehicles and had a market valuation of $4.71 billion as of the last closing. Nvidia was an early investor in WeRide.
Nvidia‘s stake disclosures are closely monitored by investors as they can influence the stock prices of companies it invests in or divests from while providing insights into the growth strategy of the dominant artificial intelligence chipmaker.

Santa Clara, California-based Nvidia cut its stake in Arm by 43.8% to 1.1 million shares, valuing its remaining stock at about $181 million as of Thursday’s close.
