Tepper Sells Entire SanDisk Stake and Shifts Appaloosa Into AI Infrastructure

The move signals a tactical rotation into AI compute, cloud platforms, chip and interconnect suppliers plus power generators to prepare for rising data‑center demand.

Overview

  • Appaloosa’s second‑quarter 13F shows the fund fully exited its 281,250‑share SanDisk holding and trimmed Micron while keeping a large Micron stake.
  • Proceeds were redeployed into concentrated AI bets, with Amazon rising to about 5 million shares and new or larger positions in Nvidia, TSMC, Broadcom and CoreWeave.
  • The filing also discloses smaller new stakes including SpaceX and added exposure to power generators Vistra and NRG to back growing electricity needs for large data centers.
  • Appaloosa reported a 32% return in the first half of 2026 that the filing attributes in part to earlier memory gains, which helps explain why Tepper locked profits after SanDisk’s large rally.
  • These holdings come from a quarter‑end 13F snapshot that does not show trades after June 30 or any derivatives and therefore may not reflect the fund’s current positions.
