Billionaire David Tepper Takes Contrarian Bets on UnitedHealth and Intel
Hedge fund titan David Tepper, known for his $7 billion windfall during the 2008 financial crisis, is doubling down on his contrarian strategy. Recent SEC filings reveal Appaloosa Management's new stakes in UnitedHealth and Intel—both facing significant market headwinds.
Tepper's philosophy remains unchanged: identify undervalued assets with strong fundamentals, regardless of market sentiment. His Bank of America and Citigroup plays in 2008 proved this approach can deliver monumental returns when others flee.
UnitedHealth grapples with regulatory scrutiny while Intel battles chip sector volatility. Yet Tepper sees opportunity where others see risk—a pattern that's defined his three-decade career managing $21 billion in personal wealth.
