Billionaire investor David Tepper&#8216;s Appaloosa Management reduced its stake in Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) by 5% in the third quarter, despite his recent public enthusiasm for Chinese investments, according to regulatory filings released Thursday.
What Happened: The reduction comes just months after Tepper declared that he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/24/09/41050711/stocks-rise-as-china-signals-more-stimulus-billionaire-david-tepper-bets-big-on-everythi">would buy &#8220;everything&#8221; China-related</a> amid Beijing&#8217;s stimulus efforts. Despite the trim, Alibaba remains Appaloosa&#8217;s largest holding, representing 15.75% of its $6.7 billion equity portfolio.
The hedge fund&#8217;s third-quarter moves reveal a complex strategy toward Chinese investments. While reducing positions in the iShares China Large-Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXI#NYSE">FXI</a>), KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KWEB#NYSE">KWEB</a>), and Baidu Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>), Tepper more than doubled his stake in PDD Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>) and increased positions in JD.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) and KE Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEKE#NYSE">BEKE</a>).
The filing also revealed significant reductions in major U.S. technology holdings. Appaloosa sold 275,000 shares of Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), representing an 8.59% reduction while cutting its Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) position by 211,356 shares, or 21.89%. The fund also reduced its stake in Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) by 310,000 shares, a 49.6% decrease, and trimmed its position in Alphabet Inc Class C (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>).

Why It Matters: Overall, Tepper&#8217;s exposure to Chinese stocks and ETFs increased to 38% of his equity portfolio in the third quarter, up from 26% in the previous quarter. This positions him, alongside Scion Asset Management&#8216;s Michael Burry, as one of the few prominent hedge fund managers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41248334/big-short-investor-michael-burrys-china-bet-pays-off-as-top-picks-surge-nearly-60-in-2-months">maintaining significant Chinese market exposure</a>. 
These portfolio adjustments come as Chinese stocks face headwinds from disappointing fiscal policies and persistent economic challenges, including weak consumer spending and an unstable property market. Market observers note that geopolitical tensions and potential tariff increases add further <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/41902202/trumps-china-hawks-rumored-for-top-roles-yuan-hits-3-month-low">uncertainty to the investment landscape</a>.
The details of these transactions were disclosed in a Form 13F filing, a quarterly report required by the Securities and Exchange Commission for institutional investment managers overseeing more than $100 million in qualifying securities.

Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), deemed the Donald Trump-led Republican triumph the &#8220;biggest&#8221; bullish catalyst for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) over the last four years.
What Happened: In an interview with CNBC on Thursday, Saylor said that the &#8220;red wave&#8221; has been &#8220;incredibly auspicious&#8221; for Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency industry.
The Bitcoin bull anticipated a friendlier SEC at the helm amid speculations of current chair Gary Gensler stepping aside.
&#8220;It&#8217;s very good for the cryptocurrency industry. We&#8217;re going to see a lot more pro-Bitcoin policies. We are going to see a digital assets framework. We are going to see an end to the war on crypto.,&#8221; Saylor predicted.

With the election uncertainty behind, Saylor also ruled out any major bearish events for Bitcoin in the foreseeable future.

MicroStrategy&#8217;s shares hit a record high earlier this week, pushing the firm&#8217;s market valuation to $72.26 billion, a $50 billion increase since September 6.

Elon Musk&#8216;s SpaceX has been increasing its launch cadence, enabling 17 launches in the last 31 days, and exceeding its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36860379/one-month-into-2024-spacex-is-already-falling-short-of-its-own-launch-targets-temporary-setback-or-c">monthly launch targets</a>.
What Happened: SpaceX&#8217;s Falcon 9 rocket launched 24 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Florida on Thursday, marking its 17th launch in 31 days.

SpaceX launched almost every other day in the last 31 days, exceeding its target set at the start of the year of 12 launches every month. 
However, the Musk-led space giant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39612042/elon-musks-spacex-launches-67-missions-in-first-half-of-2024-trailing-own-targets">fell short of its launch targets</a> in the first half of 2024, completing just 67 missions, not including its Starship test flights. The company is now trying to reach its launch target for the whole year by amping up launches in the remaining months.
Why It Matters: SpaceX has already exceeded 100 launches this year, outrunning its 96 launches in 2023. 
SpaceX VP of Launch Kiko Dontchev said earlier this month that the company will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41767169/spacex-completes-400th-successful-falcon-launch-to-date-but-will-miss-target-of-144-launches-in-2024">not make its goal of 144 launches this year</a> but is still targeting 30 more launches, or one launch every two days, for the rest of the year.
SpaceX is currently using its Falcon launch vehicles for the payload carrying missions.

Wing, a drone business backed by Google-parent Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), and Apian, a British technology start-up, have launched a drone service for NHS blood sample deliveries in London.
What Happened:&nbsp;This new drone service, operating between Guy's and St Thomas' hospitals, reduces delivery time for blood samples from 30 minutes by van or motorbike to just 2 minutes, <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/article/dbd69ffe-252c-4d79-8f1f-ae9474f5b955">reported</a> The Times.
The drones are used to transport critical samples from patients at risk of bleeding disorders, helping to speed up decisions for surgeries and ensuring quick access to lab analysis.
Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai took to X, formerly Twitter, and said, "Reducing blood sample delivery from 30 min to 2 min means faster results and quicker care for patients in critical need. Important use case for drone technology."

Why It Matters:&nbsp;This initiative comes after Alphabet reported a 15% year-over-year increase in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41611263/alphabet-q3-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-google-cloud-up-35-momentum-across-the-compan">third-quarter revenue</a>, highlighting the company&#8217;s extraordinary momentum.
The drone project also aligns with Alphabet&#8217;s previous ventures into drone delivery services, such as its partnership with DoorDash in the U.S. to deliver food items.
Apian, which identifies itself as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/04/38088421/doordash-partners-with-googles-wing-for-drone-delivery-pilot-in-the-us-to-fly-food-to-your-front-doo">&#8220;healthcare logistics&#8221; business</a>, aims to become the &#8220;Deliveroo of medical transport&#8221;,&nbsp;creating a platform to match&nbsp;clinicians with urgent transport requests&nbsp;and commercial drone companies.
The company&nbsp;was founded in 2020 by&nbsp;Dr. Christopher Law, Dr. Hammad Jeilani, and&nbsp;Alexander Trewby, formerly of Google&nbsp;Health.
Price Action: As of the latest data, Alphabet's Class A shares declined 0.24% in after-hours trading to $175.15, while Class C shares slipped 0.20% to $177. In the regular session on Thursday, Class A and Class C shares closed at $175.58 and $177.35, respectively, according to<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Benzinga Pro data</a>.

President-elect Donald Trump met Argentina President&nbsp;Javier Milei at his Mar-a-Lago resort Thursday. This was his first meeting with a world leader since winning the elections last week.
What Happened: Milei congratulated Trump on his election victory, lending support to the shared ideas of liberty and economic prosperity, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-15/argentine-president-milei-praises-trump-at-mar-a-lago-event?srnd=homepage-europe">Bloomberg</a> reported. 
"Today, the winds of freedom are blowing much stronger,"&nbsp;he said in Spanish at the America First Policy Institute event.&nbsp;&#8220;I am exhilarated to be able to share with the new U.S. administration the same level of freedom, and I'm convinced that together we will restore it to the place it deserves.
Milei, who assumed office a year ago, also praised tech mogul Elon Musk, who was in the audience, for promoting free speech through X. 
Trump, in turn, acknowledged Milei&#8217;s speech, stating, &#8220;Your speech was beautiful, but the job you've done is incredible.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Milei has earned praise from Trump for his economic policies. During an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40329146/trump-praises-pro-bitcoin-argentina-president-javier-mileis-maga-like-economic-policies-in">interview</a> with Musk In August, the president-elect highlighted Argentina&#8217;s prosperity under Milei&#8217;s leadership, drawing parallels to his own &#8220;Make America Great Again&#8221; policy.
There has been significant bonhomie between Musk and Milei as well. The two met warmly in September <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40994028/elon-musk-dons-his-maga-hat-to-meet-pro-bitcoin-president-javier-milei-duo-discuss-argenti">on the sidelines</a> of Argentina&#8217;s national speech to the United Nations General Assembly.
Prior to that, Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/09/40679115/elon-musk-praises-pro-bitcoin-president-javier-mileis-efforts-in-restoring-argentina-to-greatness-am">expressed his admiration</a> for Milei&#8217;s efforts in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/09/40679115/elon-musk-praises-pro-bitcoin-president-javier-mileis-efforts-in-restoring-argentina-to-greatness-am">restoring Argentina&#8217;s stature</a>.
Milei secured victory in the November elections after promising large cuts in public spending to address Argentina&#8217;s fiscal deficit and increasing inflation. His libertarian stance is also reflected in his support for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), making him one of the very few heads of state to openly endorse the asset.
However, the president has also faced criticism for his austerity measures, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40825073/pro-bitcoin-president-javier-milei-triumphs-as-pension-spending-hike-stalled-in-argentinas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">with many taking to the streets </a>to oppose his attempts to halt the increase in pension spending.

Pro-Bitcoin Argentina President Javier Milei Becomes First Foreign Leader To Meet Trump: 'Winds Of Freedom Are Blowing Much Stronger'

NKGen Biotech (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nkgn-stock-quote/">NKGN</a>) stock is rocketing higher on Thursday as the clinical-stage biotechnology company prepares to <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/nkgen-biotech-present-positive-snk01-120500650.html">present new biomarker data on SNK01</a>.



This is the company&rsquo;s treatment candidate for Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease. It&rsquo;s going to provide this data to those attending the Alzheimer&rsquo;s Association International Conference. This is set to take place from July 28 through Aug. 1.



The focus of the presentation will be on SNK01&rsquo;s ability to reduce &alpha;-synuclein in Alzheimer&rsquo;s patients. That&rsquo;s important as &alpha;-synuclein has been tied to worse cognitive function for Alzheimer&rsquo;s patients.



NKGen Biotech will hold its press conference on July 30. It will start at 7:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The event will end at 4:15 p.m. Eastern Time that same day. Hosting the event is company chairman and CEO Paul Song.



<h2>How This Affects NKGN Stock</h2>



NKGN stock is already up 17.7% as of Thursday morning alongside excitement for the upcoming presentation. This brings with it heavy trading with more than 33 million shares changing hands. That&rsquo;s already well above its daily average trading volume of about 1.5 million shares.



It&rsquo;s also possible that NKGN stock will see another rally alongside its presentation. That means investors will want to check back in on it when July 30 rolls around.

Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/isrg-stock-quote/">ISRG</a>) stock is on the move Thursday after the company&rsquo;s shares were given a <a href="https://www.streetinsider.com/Analyst+PT+Change/Intuitive+Surgical+%28ISRG%29+PT+Raised+to+%24490+at+Barclays/23476587.html">price target increase</a> by Barclays analysts.



Barclays analyst Matt Miksic increased the firm&rsquo;s price target for ISRG stock from $430 per share to $490 per share. That&rsquo;s a potential upside of 17.5% over its prior closing price. It&rsquo;s also above the <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/ISRG/forecast/">analysts&rsquo; consensus price prediction</a> of $426.53 per share.



The Barclays analyst reiterated the firm&rsquo;s &ldquo;overweight&rdquo; rating for ISRG stock alongside that price target increase. For comparison, the analysts&rsquo; consensus rating for Intuitive Surgical shares is moderate buy based on 19 opinions.



<h2>More Analyst Coverage of ISRG Stock</h2>



&nbsp;J.P. Morgan analysts also recently weighed in on Intuitive Surgical. Here&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.medtechdive.com/news/jj-abbott-intuitive-medtech-earnings-q2/721427/">what they said</a> in a statement collected by MedTechDive. 




&ldquo;We think, if anything, the environment has improved modestly in China barring competitive headwinds, and while bariatric surgery should continue to remain pressured, given the low to mid-single digit % of procedures, we aren&rsquo;t overly concerned.&rdquo;




ISRG stock is down 2.5% as of Thursday afternoon. This comes with some 1.7 million shares traded, as compared to its daily average of about 1.3 million shares.
