US President Donald Trump publicly praised Palantir’s war-fighting capabilities after bearish bets from investor Michael Burry and a challenge from Anthropic, sending Palantir’s shares higher briefly; the stock’s path remains pressured despite ongoing multibillion-dollar government contracts with DHS and ICE, underscoring Palantir’s prominence in U.S. defense and immigration operations.
Big Short investor Michael Burry says he’s still betting against Palantir, maintaining long-dated put options (June 17, 2027 $50 puts and Dec 19, 2026 $100 puts) since fall 2025, unchanged by a Trump Truth Social endorsement that briefly lifted the stock. He argues Palantir’s fundamental value is well under $50 despite rallies, even as the stock trades near $127 amid government contracts and ongoing defense work.
Palantir (PLTR) slid roughly 12% after Michael Burry questioned its AI strategy and Anthropic’s rise, but a leading investor argues Palantir’s growing defense/government footprint and rising U.S. commercial revenue justify a 30–40% upside over the next 12 months, with a bullish Wall Street consensus.
Investor Michael Burry said Anthropic is outpacing Palantir, pointing to Anthropic’s rapid ARR growth (from $9B to $30B) and its easy-to-integrate, plug-and-play AI tools as reasons businesses are flocking to Claude, which helped send Palantir shares lower after his comments. Burry, who has a shorts position on Palantir, argues the AI market is shifting toward private-sector AI solutions, diminishing Palantir’s government-heavy edge. Ramp data cited by Burry suggests Anthropic is capturing a growing share of enterprise spending and impacting multiple sectors, highlighting a broader AI-driven rebalancing in software.
Palantir Technologies’ shares slid about 6% intraday after investor Michael Burry warned of a rising threat from Anthropic in the AI space, signaling growing investor concern about AI-driven competition affecting Palantir’s prospects.
Palantir (PLTR) stock fell about 5% after Michael Burry questioned Palantir's AI moat and suggested Anthropic is closing in; despite solid growth and strong demand for AI platforms, the stock's lofty forward multiple (~115x) and signs of weak international traction keep near-term upside in check, with Benchmark's Yi Fu Lee rating Palantir a Hold and the Street consensus targeting ~$195 (about 36% upside), underscoring valuation discipline and execution risk.
Ackman argues that high-quality stocks are trading at attractive discounts and flags Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as potential 10x upside; Michael Burry agrees with the bullish view as both bet on a market bargain amid volatility and evolving post-crisis policy dynamics.
Hedge fund investor Michael Burry questions when the aggressive AI data-center buildout will end, criticizing hyperscalers such as Oracle, Alphabet (Google), Meta, Microsoft, Amazon and Nvidia for expansive capex and potential cash-flow strain. He warns of possible earnings restatements and depreciation masking costs, and likens current AI hype to past bubbles like the 1920s radio boom and the dot-com era.
Famed investor Michael Burry warned that a Bitcoin selloff could intensify into a self-reinforcing “death spiral,” potentially harming corporate holders, miners, and crypto stocks, per Bloomberg via his Substack post.
Michael Burry has bought GameStop not for its core business but for the leadership of Ryan Cohen, drawing a Buffett-like comparison and suggesting the potential for GameStop to resemble Berkshire Hathaway in the long run. Cohen owns about 9% of the company and has steered GameStop toward digital commerce, collectibles, and a Bitcoin investment, helping it outperform the market, yet the Berkshire analogy remains unproven and investors are advised to approach any GameStop bets with caution and a speculative mindset.
GameStop surged after CEO Ryan Cohen outlined a bold plan to grow the company from about $11B to over $100B, potentially via a large consumer/retail acquisition that Cohen acknowledged could be genius or a mistake. Investor Michael Burry urged a Berkshire Hathaway–style use of cash for a strong, cash-generating buyer, while the board tied Cohen’s pay to performance. With roughly $9B in liquidity and strategic store closures to fund higher-margin products, GameStop is taking bigger risks even as TipRanks’ AI rates it Neutral with a $25 target.
Michael Burry warns a reversal in the Japanese yen could weigh on U.S. stocks if capital flows swing back toward Japan as rates diverge, a dynamic echoed by a Wall Street Journal note that the NY Fed contacted counterparties on yen/USD. Morgan Stanley’s Michael Wilson also sees USDJPY fair value around 145, with a potential move toward 140, highlighting yen strength and rate differentials as ongoing tactical risks for equity markets.
Michael Burry stated on a Substack post that he owns GameStop and has been buying recently, signaling a long-term thesis and possible value near tangible book value. The disclosure sparked a rally as GME traded around $24.15 (up ~4%), with heavy volume and a surge in short-dated call options (strikes near $20–$25) as traders bet on more upside and link the move to meme-stock dynamics tied to Ryan Cohen.
Michael Burry revealed on Substack that he has been buying GameStop (GME), targeting a value around 1x tangible book value/1x net asset value and signaling a multi-year hold rather than a quick squeeze. He emphasizes governance and capital allocation under Ryan Cohen and is willing to wait years to see the story play out. The move comes as GameStop has rebuilt its balance sheet—liquid assets, cash, and even Bitcoin—creating a cushion that points to a renewed focus on valuation and cash generation rather than meme-driven hype.
Michael Burry argues in a Substack debate that the AI boom is unsustainable, warning that trillions spent by hyperscalers on chips and data centers will yield few durable gains and that AI could become commoditized; he uses Buffett's Hochschild-Kohn escalator tale to illustrate wasteful spending, singles out Nvidia and Palantir as overvalued poster children, notes Alphabet's slipping lead, and predicts a long downturn with weaker tech demand and employment.
