The technology-focused investor significantly cut back his fund's stakes in the big three <a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/stock-market/market-sectors/information-technology/cloud-stocks/">cloud providers</a> <strong>Amazon</strong>, <strong>Alphabet</strong>, and <strong>Microsoft</strong>, while completely exiting his position in <strong>Oracle</strong>.</p><p>Meanwhile, he was buying a pair of semiconductor infrastructure enablers. He boosted his stake in <strong>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.</strong> <span class="ticker" data-id="205813">(NYSE: TSM)</span>, which is his top holding, while adding a new position in <strong>ASML Holding</strong> <span class="ticker" data-id="206259">(NASDAQ: ASML)</span>. The moves are interesting, as Laffont is shifting focus from the companies buying and using the tech to the companies that facilitate it.</p><p>I'm still a huge fan of the big cloud providers, with Amazon and Alphabet being two of my favorite stocks. Both have nice cost advantages given their chip businesses, while they also have strong, growing businesses outside of their cloud divisions. Meanwhile, Microsoft's software and cloud units are both performing well, and the stock looks undervalued for the opportunity in front of it. As such, I certainly wouldn't be dumping these stocks.</p><p><a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/05/24/this-billionaire-dumped-his-cloud-stocks-for-these/?source=iedfolrf0000001">Continue reading</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Google Just Shared Bad News for Nvidia, and Even Worse News For CoreWeave and Nebius</h1> <p>newsfeedback@fool.com (Adam Levy) — Sun, 24 May 2026 17:00:00 -0400</p> <p><strong>Alphabet</strong> <span class="ticker" data-id="288965">(NASDAQ: GOOG)</span> <span class="ticker" data-id="203768">(NASDAQ: GOOGL)</span> CEO Sundar Pichai shared some interesting news during the company's first-quarter earnings call.
