About
Founder of Appaloosa Management. Known for distressed-debt and contrarian equity calls.
Appaloosa Management increased exposure to mega-cap technology and infrastructure stocks in Q2 2026, adding $292 million to AMZN (680,000 shares), $339 million to TSM (322,500 shares), and $130 million to META (238,500 shares), while also establishing a new $490 million position in IBIT. The portfolio simultaneously trimmed exposure to semiconductor and international equities, reducing MU by 690,000 shares despite a $563 million remaining position and exiting BABA entirely with a $243 million reduction. Additionally, the manager exited a $295 million ETHB position entirely while maintaining modest increases in NVDA, GOOGL, UBER, and energy infrastructure via VST and NRG, suggesting a rotation toward large-cap AI beneficiaries and digital assets alongside energy infrastructure plays. Because 13F filings are delayed by up to 45 days, this should not be treated as real-time investment advice. Always do your own research.

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.

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.
