Recent 13-F disclosures show David Tepper, the founder of Appaloosa Management, took a large position in Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU), adding about 1 million shares. It is now his fourth-largest holding.
Memory and storage stocks are in a supercycle of demand, and Micron is a growth stock masquerading as a super cheap value stock, trading at just 8 times forward earnings. Micron stock is up 85% year to date.
A different disclosure form shows Ken Griffin, the billionaire owner of Citadel Advisors, added nearly 11 million shares of Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and 12 million shares of Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) at the end of last year. Both of these Magnificent Seven stocks were trading at discounted valuations at the end of last year, and both have generated market-beating returns year to date.
One that might surprise you
While these big-name stocks may not surprise you, here's one that might -- Versant Media Group (NASDAQ: VSNT). Recent 13-F filings show Billionaire David Einhorn, founder of Greenlight Capital, took a new position in this stock, which went public in January after spinning off from Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA).
Versant owns MS Now, CNBC, USA Network, and other properties like GolfNow and Fandango.
"While the legacy cable business faces ongoing cord-cutting, over 60% of its programming is tied to live news and events, which we believe is more resistant to subscriber losses than other entertainment categories. Additionally, the company's non-Pay TV revenue are growing and now represent nearly 20% of total revenues," Greenlight management wrote in the Q1 investor letter.
Versant stock is down 10% since its launch, but has surged 48% over the past month.
