Billionaire David Tepper Sold Micron and Sandisk, and Is Hedging Against 1 of Their Largest Customers
Key PointsTepper's hedge fund, Appaloosa Management, has produced phenomenal returns so far in 2026.
David Tepper, a renowned hedge fund manager, recently sold shares of Micron Technology and SanDisk, two of the hottest stocks in the market. Tepper, who manages Appaloosa Management, also purchased put options on Apple, a major customer of both companies. This move suggests Tepper sees potential risks in the memory-chip industry and the market's overvaluation of Apple's stock.
Micron and SanDisk have experienced significant growth due to the increasing demand for memory chips in the artificial intelligence data center sector, but they also face the risk of a supply glut and weakened demand leading to falling prices. Tepper may believe in the cyclical nature of the memory-chip market and the profit potential, despite the cyclical trends.
However, he may also think that Apple's valuation is too high, given its lack of aggressive capital expenditure for data center operations.
