Q2 is a clean pivot: Third Point exited the mainstream US semi bet (NVDA, AVGO, KLAC, LRCX, SMH, META) and rotated into (a) media/consumer with WBD as the new #1, (b) infrastructure rails (NSC, UNP, CRH), (c) rebuilt AI application-layer through Alphabet A +486%. TSM +67% is the sole retained semi bet — a supply-chain pass rather than fabless-chip conviction.
