Micron stock (NASDAQ: MU) is the top pick among leading AI equities, according to billionaire investor David Tepper. The billionaire stressed that the AI industry is not a bubble and the next-gen technology will rule the world in the next decade. Therefore, an investment before the tech goes mainstream can deliver tenfold returns for long-term traders.

MU opened Friday’s bell at $766 and pulled back after reaching its 52-week high of $818. It dipped nearly 3.5% on Thursday as the stock shed close to 28 points in the indices. Despite the downturn, Micron stock is up nearly 150% year-to-date and is among the top-performing AI equities in the market.

Billionaire David Tepper highlighted that Micron stock remains in a dominant position due to its relentless supply of high-bandwidth memory (HBM). David Tepper’s hedge fund, Appaloosa Management, has also increased its stake in MU, turning it into one of its largest portfolio holdings. He pointed out three theories that make Micron stand out from its competitors.

The three strong points for Micron stock, according to billionaire David Tepper, are:

Since Micron remains strong in these three segments, its stock prospects have a chance to surge in value next. An entry position below the $800 mark would be a better investment. Holding on to MU for the next five to 10 years could make investors’ portfolios swell. The enthusiasm in the AI sector is yet to cool down, and the market is closely watching all the moves.

“AI isn’t a bubble that’s going to burst anytime soon – the underlying fundamentals are robust. Demand for semiconductors is beating expectations (Micron stock), and key drivers like data centers and infrastructure remain intact. The AI story has further to go, and investors should make the most of it while these opportunities still exist,” saidMorningstar’s Chief Equity Strategist, Michael Field.
