Key Points

• Amazon has reported accelerated growth in cloud computing, projecting Amazon Web Services (AWS) could reach $1 trillion in revenue, with a $496 billion backlog.

• Micron Technology is benefiting from a memory supercycle, with high demand for high-bandwidth memory driving revenue growth and gross margin expansion.

• Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has increased its share in hedge fund manager David Tepper’s portfolio by 24%, benefiting from the AI infrastructure surge.

Billionaire hedge fund manager David Tepper of Appaloosa Management holds significant stakes in three tech companies as of the end of Q2: Amazon, Micron, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing. Amazon constitutes over 15% of his portfolio, with AWS growth poised to continue amid strong investments in AI infrastructure. Micron accounts for over 14% of his holdings and is capitalizing on increased demand for high-bandwidth memory amid a sustained memory supercycle.

TSMC, representing over 10% of Tepper’s portfolio, has gained traction by dominating advanced chip manufacturing, correlating closely with rising demand for AI technologies. Tepper’s strategic increases reflect confidence in these companies as key players in the growing AI landscape.
