Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and SoftBank&#8217;s Masayoshi Son recently shared a few laughs and some bittersweet memories at the AI Summit in Tokyo. At the center of their banter? SoftBank&#8217;s former role as Nvidia&#8217;s largest shareholder – and how they decided to let that golden opportunity slip away.

</ul>
In 2019, SoftBank (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) sold all of its Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) shares, which comprised about 4.9% of the company. It seemed like a solid move back then: they had invested around $700 million and ended up making $3.3 billion from the sale. But now, Son admits the decision wasn&#8217;t exactly a home run. Today, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/06/39489510/the-150-billion-opportunity-softbank-lost-by-selling-nvidia-shares-too-soon">those shares would be worth over $150 billion</a>.
During their talk, Huang jokingly said, &#8220;We can cry together,&#8221; hugging Son on stage as they remembered what might have been. Son, not missing a beat, added that he had to &#8220;tearfully&#8221; sell those shares. Huang even shared that Son once offered him financial backing to buy Nvidia outright – something he now wishes he'd taken. &#8220;That was a great idea,&#8221; Huang said, with a hint of regret.

Huang praised Son for being a visionary who has consistently backed winning innovators like Bill Gates, Jerry Yang and Steve Jobs. Son has a talent for recognizing big opportunities and helping establish major tech moments, from bringing Gates and Jobs to Japan to making Alibaba&#8217;s success possible in China. Yet, even with all those successes, the missed Nvidia chance still stings.
Today, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA">Nvidia is worth $3.6 trillion</a> and is the world&#8217;s most valuable company, ahead of tech giants like Apple and Microsoft. Its value has skyrocketed thanks to the AI boom, with its chips playing a crucial role in powering AI technologies across the globe. Nvidia&#8217;s stock has surged 2,768% in the last five years, putting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41882908/640416">Jensen Huang&#8217;s net worth</a> at a staggering $127 billion.

SoftBank, meanwhile, remains heavily invested in the future of AI. Son has made it clear that he&#8217;s not done yet. He recently mentioned that his true purpose might be to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41181374/softbanks-masayoshi-son-predicts-artificial-superintelligence-within-a-decade-after-testing-openais">bring about artificial superintelligence (ASI) – </a>a form of AI that could be 10,000 times smarter than humans. His belief in the power of AI and its ability to solve global problems, from diseases to natural disasters, keeps driving him forward.
Despite the missed opportunity with Nvidia, SoftBank is moving ahead at full throttle.

Trump&#8217;s tax agenda, which includes potential expansions to the&nbsp;2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, could lower corporate tax rates further, directly boosting Wells Fargo&#8217;s earnings.

Mastercard Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>) shares on Monday hit a new 52-week high of $534.02 amid overall market strength amid after Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41772701/trumps-historic-return-7-ways-his-second-term-could-impact-the-us-economy">presidential election win</a>. Also, Piper Sandler reiterated Mastercard with an Overweight and raised its price target from $565 to $575.
The new 52-week high in MA stock comes as investors anticipate favorable economic policies that could drive consumer spending, a key revenue driver for the payments giant.
Additionally, released on Friday, U.S. retail sales in October <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/retail-sales/24/11/42008180/october-retail-sales-top-expectations-as-us-consumers-increase-tech-spending">exceeded expectations</a>, marking the fastest annual growth since July 2024, as consumers displayed strong spending resilience ahead of the presidential election. 
Trump's proposed tax cuts, aimed at both corporations and individuals, are expected to increase disposable income and business investment, potentially leading to a surge in transaction volumes. 
Mastercard, which earns revenue from processing payments on its global network, stands to benefit directly from increased consumer and business activity.

What Else: Additionally, Trump's deregulation agenda may create opportunities for Mastercard to expand its financial technology offerings. 
A rollback of some financial compliance requirements could enable Mastercard to innovate more freely, particularly in emerging payment technologies like blockchain and digital wallets, while making it easier to form partnerships with fintech companies.
Trump's focus on infrastructure investment could also support Mastercard's commercial payments segment. As businesses take on projects tied to federal spending, Mastercard could see increased use of its business-to-business payment platforms, driving growth in a less saturated market.
Potential inflationary pressures from Trump's policies could also benefit Mastercard. Inflation often leads to higher transaction values, which would increase the fees Mastercard collects.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy MA Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Mastercard&#8217;s case, it is in the Financials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, MA has a 52-week high of $534.02 and a 52-week low of $395.54.

In its third-quarter trading update, the company reported 336 million euros ($353.91 million) in operating capital generation and raised its full-year 2024 guidance to 1.2 billion euros,<a href="https://www.aegon.com/newsroom/news/press-releases/2024/trading-update-3q-2024" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> up from 1.1 billion euros</a>.
Capital ratios for its main units remain solid, well above operating levels. A new 150 million euro share buyback program was announced, expected to be completed by mid-2025, which includes neutralizing shares issued for compensation plans.

Cash capital at the holding level stood at 1.5 billion euros as of Sept. 30, with plans to reach 1 billion euros by 2026.
The company completed a program to purchase institutionally owned universal life policies, though terminated policies hurt the US RBC ratio by 16% points.
However, a recovery of 8% points is expected in the fourth quarter. Despite strong momentum in Asset Management and the UK Workplace platform, the U.S. Strategic Assets faced volatility, and the UK Adviser platform continues to struggle amid challenging market conditions.
Aegon's next strategic phase aims for operating capital generation of around EUR1.2 billion from its units and free cash flow of approximately 800 million euros by 2025.
The company also plans to increase its dividend per share to about 0.40, contingent on approvals and market conditions. Gross financial leverage is expected to remain around 5 billion euro.
Aegon will provide an update on its strategy and targets at its Capital Markets Day on Dec. 10, 2025.
Price Action: Aegon shares are trading higher by 1.89% to $6.46 at last check Friday.
