In Q2 2026, David Tepper's Appaloosa Management reduced holdings in memory chip makers like Micron and exited SanDisk, reallocating capital into AI-related stocks such as Amazon, Taiwan Semiconductor, NVIDIA, and a new position in CoreWeave. Notably, Tepper also increased stakes in independent power producers Vistra and NRG Energy, highlighting a strategic move into the energy sector that supports AI data centers. This shift reflects a rotation from volatile chipmakers to more stable AI infrastructure and utility companies, which may offer more consistent returns amid changing market dynamics. The move underscores Tepper's forward-looking approach to the AI theme, focusing on layers beyond just chip manufacturing.
