Billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller Dumped Every Share of Alphabet. He Bought AI Memory Stocks Up 581% to 3,467% Instead

Stanley Druckenmiller's Duquesne Family Office exited its entire Alphabet position in Q1 2026 and redeployed the capital into three AI hardware names: SanDisk, Micron Technology, and Seagate Technology. The move signals a defensive rotation toward 'picks-and-shovels' beneficiaries of AI infrastructure spending rather than direct AI platform exposure. The filing is notable for positioning insight but is unlikely to have a broad market impact.
