About David Tepper

**David Tepper / Appaloosa Management**

David Tepper is the founder and president of Appaloosa Management, a New Jersey-based hedge fund known for thematic growth positioning across equities. As of the Q1 2026 13F filing, submitted May 15, 2026, the firm reported a portfolio valued at approximately $5.9 billion, distributed across 31 disclosed equity positions. The breadth of the portfolio reflects a relatively concentrated structure compared to multi-hundred-position institutional peers.

The latest filing shows the portfolio anchored by five positions that collectively represent 48.3% of total disclosed value. Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) holds the largest allocation at 15.2%, followed by Micron Technology Inc. (MU) at 9.5%, Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) at 8.4%, Uber Technologies Inc. (UBER) at 7.7%, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSM) at 7.6%. The largest reported sector classification is "Unclassified," accounting for 43.8% of the portfolio, with the remaining exposure distributed across identifiable technology-adjacent categories. The top holdings are concentrated in semiconductor, cloud commerce, and platform technology names.

Quarter-over-quarter activity in Q1 2026 reflected significant restructuring of the portfolio. Appaloosa disclosed 9 full exits and initiated 2 new positions during the period. The firm increased 6 existing holdings while reducing exposure across 23 positions — a ratio that reflects broad-based trimming relative to selective additions. The net effect was a substantially higher turnover quarter, with reductions outnumbering increases by nearly four to one.

Sector tilt registers at 29.7, reflecting a moderately skewed allocation rather than broad diversification across industries. Despite a trailing twelve-month turnover reading of 100, position persistence stands at 92%, suggesting that most existing holdings were retained quarter-over-quarter while overall churn metrics remain elevated.

Recent allocation changes include reductions in inflation-sensitive positions (IAU, MPLX), with increased weight in defensive and long-duration assets. This shift in positioning is consistent with reduced near-term inflation concern as implied by observable portfolio weights. Allocation to gold, commodities, and international-linked assets implies a relative dollar-weakness signal from observable portfolio positioning.

Why this matters
Why a new position matters

Opening a new position can suggest the manager sees value or a thesis worth committing capital to. It does not necessarily mean they are bullish on the broader market — concentrated managers add positions infrequently while quants may rotate constantly.

Why this matters
Why an increase matters

Adding to an existing position may indicate higher conviction, scaling into a thesis, or rebalancing toward a target weight. It does not necessarily mean the position is undervalued at the current price.

Why this matters
Why a reduction matters

Trimming a position may suggest portfolio rebalancing, profit-taking, or risk management. It does not necessarily mean the manager has turned bearish on the underlying company.

Why this matters
Why a full exit matters

Fully exiting a position can suggest that the manager's thesis has played out, was wrong, or that capital is being redeployed elsewhere. It does not mean the company is broken — exits are often as much about portfolio fit as about the security itself.
