Billionaire David Tepper Has 40% of His Fund in Just 3 AI Stocks. Are They Still Buys?
Amazon, Micron, and TSMC are Tepper's top holdings.
Overview
Billionaire hedge fund manager David Tepper of Appaloosa Management is considered one of the world's top investors, and he's not afraid to make big bets. In fact, at the end of the second quarter, 40% of his portfolio was in just three artificial intelligence (AI) stocks: Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Micron (NASDAQ: MU), and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM). Let's look at why all three still look like buys right now.
Amazon is Tepper's largest holding, representing more than 15% of his portfolio, and he added to his shares in Q2. It's easy to see why he would like the stock.
Details
Amazon is the market leader in both e-commerce and cloud computing. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is its largest business by profitability and its fastest-growing. AWS growth has been accelerating, and Amazon is investing heavily in AI infrastructure to sustain the momentum. It gets a quick two- to three-year payback on its chip and networking investments, while locking in deals for five or more years. Its economics should improve even more as it starts to use more of its own chips. With a $496 billion backlog and the company projecting that AWS could become a $1 trillion revenue business, Amazon has a long runway of growth ahead in the cloud computing space.
