In 2019, David Tepper converted his hedge fund, Appaloosa Management, into a family office as he became the owner of the Carolina Panthers NFL football team. Tepper is known as a distressed-debt expert, and he focuses on investing in stocks and debt of distressed companies, exchange warrants, options, futures notes, and junk bonds. As of the third quarter of 2022, the billionaire managed a portfolio worth $1.36 billion, with investments in the consumer discretionary, communications, information technology, healthcare, utilities and telecommunications, and energy sectors. 

In October last year, Appaloosa Management’s David Tepper said he was slightly bearish on the stock market, given the uncertainty surrounding interest rates and inflation. He told CNBC’s Halftime Report on October 22, 2021: 

“I just don’t know how interest rates are going to behave next year… I don’t think there’s any great asset classes right now… I don’t love stocks. I don’t love bonds. I don’t love junk bonds.”

In 2021, Appaloosa Management said that it has been “probably too conservative” but has done relatively well because of its bets on commodities and oil. In Q3 2022, some of the best long-term stocks to buy according to David Tepper include Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG), Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META), and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN). 

Our Methodology 

We selected the 10 stocks which have been part of the Appaloosa’s Q3 2022 portfolio for at least two years or more. Insider Monkey’s database of 920 elite hedge funds tracked as of the end of the third quarter of 2022 was used to assess the hedge fund sentiment around the securities.

These hydrocarbons are critical for modern life and have few, if any, ready substitutes. Commodity prices do not greatly affect the company’s toll road fees. Enterprise is priced at less than nine times distributable cash flows and pays a 7.5% cash distribution.”

9. Energy Transfer LP (NYSE:ET)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 33

Appaloosa’s Holding Period: 6 Years

Energy Transfer LP (NYSE:ET) is headquartered in Dallas, Texas, and the company provides natural gas transportation pipelines and natural gas storage facilities in the United States.

On October 19, Morgan Stanley analyst Robert Kad raised the price target on Energy Transfer LP (NYSE:ET) to $17 from $15 and kept an Overweight rating on the shares. Midstream earnings season is set to begin and the analyst forecasts lesser material earnings beats than in Q3, but “nonetheless largely in-line results.”

Energy Transfer reported strong 1Q results with revenue of $17B surpassing expectations for $11.8B with adjusted earnings before income, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) hitting $5.04B ahead of consensus of $2.77B. The company raised full year adjusted EBITDA guidance to $12.9-13.3B from $10.6-11.0B previously, with the increase largely related to the benefits realized from Winter Storm Uri. The company paid down $3.7B in debt during the quarter, using strong cash flow to reduce leverage. The company also announced the issuance of $900M in 6.5% Series H perpetual preferreds with the company using the proceeds to repay debt and for general purposes.”

8. EQT Corporation (NYSE:EQT)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 57

Appaloosa’s Holding Period: 2 Years

Here is what ClearBridge Investments Mid Cap Strategy  has to say about EQT Corporation (NYSE:EQT) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

“We also added natural gas company EQT (NYSE:EQT) in the energy sector. As one of the lowest-cost domestic producers, EQT stands to benefit from its position as a leading supplier of natural gas to a world suffering from critically low energy reserves. The Russian invasion of Ukraine and threats to hold natural gas exports hostage have spurred a surge in European energy prices, generating long-term agreements by European countries to purchase U.S. natural gas.

This strong demand and elevated prices have helped EQT strengthen its balance sheet and position it to take advantage as opportunities emerge for natural gas to plug the gaps in the global energy transition from fossil fuels to renewables.”

7. Antero Resources Corporation (NYSE:AR)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 65

Appaloosa’s Holding Period: 2 Years

Antero Resources Corporation (NYSE:AR) is a Colorado-based company that acquires, develops, and operates natural gas, natural gas liquids, and oil properties in the United States.

While the EPS missed market consensus, the revenue of $2.06 billion climbed 285.9% year-over-year and beat Wall Street estimates by $80 million. The company also announced a $1 billion increase in its share repurchase authorization.

On November 18, UBS analyst Jerry Liu reiterated a Buy recommendation on Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) but lowered the price target on the shares to $135 from $140 following its September quarter results. The company is one of several names that represent a “value play” at 9-times expected forward earnings, but investors should understand that growth will slow in the December quarter before improving next year, the analyst wrote in a research note.

According to Insider Monkey’s third quarter database, Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) was part of 105 hedge fund portfolios, compared to 106 in the prior quarter.

Longleaf Partners made the following comment about Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

“Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA), the largest e-commerce and cloud services provider in China, was the top detractor for the quarter in the face of China and Hong Kong macro concerns. The biggest value driver for Alibaba is domestic consumption, which has been softening in recent months in the face of property sector weaknesses, continuing pressure from the government’s zero-COVID policy and a significant spike in youth unemployment rates (reaching almost 20% in the quarter). We have begun to see some progress, with policies announced to make more financing available to developers to finish uncompleted units. Additionally, COVID containment measures are beginning to ease with Hong Kong recently announcing an end to all quarantine requirements for international arrivals. While we recognize that top-line growth may be constrained in the near term, we believe Alibaba is still well positioned to grow its bottom line at a double-digit rate in coming quarters by reducing costs and reducing spend on strategic initiatives. Our management partners are going on offense through smart capital allocation and increased the buyback authorization in the quarter to $25 billion dollars.”

AI, Tariffs, Nuclear Power: One Undervalued Stock Connects ALL the Dots (Before It Explodes!)

Artificial intelligence is the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime. The time to invest in groundbreaking AI is now, and this stock is a steal!

AI is eating the world—and the machines behind it are ravenous.

Each ChatGPT query, each model update, each robotic breakthrough consumes massive amounts of energy. In fact, AI is already pushing global power grids to the brink.

Wall Street is pouring hundreds of billions into artificial intelligence—training smarter chatbots, automating industries, and building the digital future. But there’s one urgent question few are asking:

Where will all of that energy come from?

AI is the most electricity-hungry technology ever invented. Each data center powering large language models like ChatGPT consumes as much energy as a small city. And it’s about to get worse.

Even Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, issued a stark warning:

“The future of AI depends on an energy breakthrough.”

Elon Musk was even more blunt:

“AI will run out of electricity by next year.”

As the world chases faster, smarter machines, a hidden crisis is emerging behind the scenes. Power grids are strained. Electricity prices are rising. Utilities are scrambling to expand capacity.

And that’s where the real opportunity lies…

One little-known company—almost entirely overlooked by most AI investors—could be the ultimate backdoor play. It’s not a chipmaker. It’s not a cloud platform. But it might be the most important AI stock in the US owns critical energy infrastructure assets positioned to feed the coming AI energy spike.

As demand from AI data centers explodes, this company is gearing up to profit from the most valuable commodity in the digital age: electricity.

The “Toll Booth” Operator of the AI Energy Boom

  • It owns critical nuclear energy infrastructure assets, positioning it at the heart of America’s next-generation power strategy.
  • It’s one of the only global companies capable of executing large-scale, complex EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) projects across oil, gas, renewable fuels, and industrial infrastructure.
  • It plays a pivotal role in U.S. LNG exportation—a sector about to explode under President Trump’s renewed “America First” energy doctrine.

Trump has made it clear: Europe and U.S. allies must buy American LNG.

And our company sits in the toll booth—collecting fees on every drop exported.

But that’s not all…

As Trump’s proposed tariffs push American manufacturers to bring their operations back home, this company will be first in line to rebuild, retrofit, and reengineer those facilities.

AI. Energy. Tariffs. Onshoring. This One Company Ties It All Together.

While the world is distracted by flashy AI tickers, a few smart investors are quietly scooping up shares of the one company powering it all from behind the scenes.

AI needs energy. Energy needs infrastructure.

And infrastructure needs a builder with experience, scale, and execution.

This company has its finger in every pie—and Wall Street is just starting to notice.

Wall Street is noticing this company also because it is quietly riding all of these tailwinds—without the sky-high valuation.

While most energy and utility firms are buried under mountains of debt and coughing up hefty interest payments just to appease bondholders…

This company is completely debt-free.

In fact, it’s sitting on a war chest of cash—equal to nearly one-third of its entire market cap.

It also owns a huge equity stake in another red-hot AI play, giving investors indirect exposure to multiple AI growth engines without paying a premium.

And here’s what the smart money has started whispering…

The Hedge Fund Secret That’s Starting to Leak Out

This stock is so off-the-radar, so absurdly undervalued, that some of the most secretive hedge fund managers in the world have begun pitching it at closed-door investment summits.

They’re sharing it quietly, away from the cameras, to rooms full of ultra-wealthy clients.

Why? Because excluding cash and investments, this company is trading at less than 7 times earnings.

And that’s for a business tied to:

  • The AI infrastructure supercycle
  • The onshoring boom driven by Trump-era tariffs
  • A surge in U.S. LNG exports
  • And a unique footprint in nuclear energy—the future of clean, reliable power

You simply won’t find another AI and energy stock this cheap… with this much upside.

This isn’t a hype stock. It’s not riding on hope.

It’s delivering real cash flows, owns critical infrastructure, and holds stakes in other major growth stories.

This is your chance to get in before the rockets take off!

Disruption is the New Name of the Game: Let’s face it, complacency breeds stagnation.

AI is the ultimate disruptor, and it’s shaking the foundations of traditional industries.

The companies that embrace AI will thrive, while the dinosaurs clinging to outdated methods will be left in the dust.

As an investor, you want to be on the side of the winners, and AI is the winning ticket.

The Talent Pool is Overflowing: The world’s brightest minds are flocking to AI.

From computer scientists to mathematicians, the next generation of innovators is pouring its energy into this field.

This influx of talent guarantees a constant stream of groundbreaking ideas and rapid advancements.

By investing in AI, you’re essentially backing the future.

The future is powered by artificial intelligence, and the time to invest is NOW.

Don’t be a spectator in this technological revolution.
