Burry bets Nvidia short as AI funding spiral draws Enron parallels

Michael Burry has intensified his Nvidia short, arguing that the AI boom is supported by complex financing schemes that mask liabilities and could collapse as debt-fueled demand fades. He labeled Nvidia’s $500 billion funding move a “Wall Street stunt” with “shades of Enron,” warning that off-balance-sheet liabilities and circular credits—backstopping customers, lending to buyers, and private equity schemes—could unravel, echoing Bloomberg analyses that the company’s vast valuation hinges on such contracts.

Burry Bets Against Micron as China Memory Makers Expand

Famed investor Michael Burry has boosted his Micron short and expanded bets on semiconductors, arguing that rising Chinese memory supply from players like CXMT and YMTC could damp memory pricing. Micron has benefited from tight memory markets, but the growing Chinese output and doubts about AI hardware demand durations raise questions about how long the current rally can last.

Burry Bets Bearish on Nebius, Reveals Large NBIS Short

Prominent investor Michael Burry disclosed a sizable short against Nebius Group NV (NBIS) at $212 per share on Aug. 7, citing execution risks, long-term lease commitments, and questions about customer demand durability; Nebius has been expanding its AI cloud operations, reporting Q1 revenue of $399 million and an annualized run-rate around $1.92 billion with about 45% EBITDA margin, but the size of Burry's bet relative to his portfolio was not disclosed as NBIS stock has shown volatility amid the sector's rapid growth in AI infrastructure.

Burry doubles down on Nvidia and Palantir shorts while loading up Molina Healthcare

Hedge fund investor Michael Burry is expanding bearish bets on Nvidia and Palantir while increasing his stake in Molina Healthcare, which has fallen about 54% from its March 2024 high. In a Cassandra Unchained update, he said he added to large short positions in Nvidia, Palantir, Oracle and Caterpillar and boosted his Molina position, arguing Molina is undervalued long term. He also added Palantir puts and Nvidia puts expiring in 2026–27, choosing options over direct stock shorts and broadening his bets against AI/semiconductor names.

Eisman Pushes Back on Burry's AI Market-Top Call: Premature, Nvidia Rally Could Persist

Two veteran investors clash on the AI rally: Michael Burry says Nvidia and other AI names may be near a top, while Steve Eisman argues it's premature and a price war among AI players (OpenAI/Anthropic) would be the trigger needed to unwind, pointing to solid macro data and heavy spending as reasons the rally could continue for now, with markets pricing only a modest bust probability this year.

Burry Warns AI Stock Rally May End in a Sharp Reversal

Michael Burry remains bearish on AI stocks, maintaining short positions in Nvidia and other AI-linked names and warns that a period of low volatility and renewed risk appetite could push markets to a dangerous top, potentially setting up a 1987-style reversal. He suggests watching semis (SOXX) and momentum leadership for a turn, noting that persistent earnings growth could undermine his bearish case.

Palantir AI Rally Fuels Bearish Bets as ARK Sells and Burry Doubles Down

Palantir posted a strong Q2 with revenue up 93% to $1.94 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.41, boosting the stock about 29% and lifting 2026 revenue guidance. ARK Invest trimmed Palantir holdings by 39,233 shares (about $6.38 million in value), while Michael Burry doubled down on his bearish stance, saying he wishes he had shorted nearly $1 trillion of Palantir and confirming ongoing short positions. Morningstar praised growth and margins but warned the stock’s valuation leaves little room for error as Palantir remains in focus for AI-driven growth.

Burry Bets Against AMAT, Sparking Fresh Scrutiny on Applied Materials

Michael Burry has reportedly taken a short position in Applied Materials (AMAT), signaling heightened bearish sentiment toward chip-related stocks amid warnings of a potential 1987-style market crash. While the move adds near-term volatility to semiconductor equipment names, long-term demand for AI-driven wafer-fab tooling could support AMAT's fundamentals as investors weigh macro risk against the sector’s secular growth.

Burry warns of 1987-style crash while keeping Nvidia shorts

Hedge fund investor Michael Burry warned in a Substack note that the S&P 500’s record highs could precede a sharp market drop reminiscent of 1987, while continuing to hold short positions in Nvidia and several other names (including the iShares Semiconductor ETF, Micron, Caterpillar, Palantir, Tesla and Applied Materials). Nvidia is the only short currently in the red, and he says he would close out positions if any trade moves against him. Burry remains skeptical of the AI hype, arguing the AI infrastructure boom could buckle as funding conditions tighten.

Burry Warns of Near-Term Market Top, Sees 1987-Style Crash Ahead Despite Fresh Highs

Michael Burry says the market may be near a major top and could crash like 1987, even as the S&P 500 hits new highs. He remains bearish, holding SOXX puts and a short position, and says the key indicators are momentum and semiconductor names after July’s weakness. He notes the four-day, 5% rally to a fresh high is rare (seen at peaks in 1999, 2000, and 2020) and warns that record highs alone won’t change his stance, with volatility dynamics and leveraged funds potentially driving a reversal. He also mentions ongoing work on his ‘Heretic’s Guide’ analyzing hyperscalers.

Burry warns of a 1987-style top ahead of new market highs

Hedge fund investor Michael Burry says the market could be near a major top and potentially suffer a 1987-style crash even as the S&P 500 hits a fresh close and the Nasdaq climbs, driven by strong earnings and lower oil prices. He argues the rally is feeding a self-reinforcing cycle via falling volatility and levered strategies, and he remains short in SOXX, Micron, Nvidia, Caterpillar, Palantir, Tesla and Applied Materials, though he would cut losses if those trades move decisively against him; the article notes his skepticism about the AI boom despite the broader market gains.

Cuban and Burry warn AI boom could imperil retirement portfolios

Billionaires Mark Cuban and Michael Burry warn the Nvidia-led AI surge is dangerously concentrated and could unravel with a surprise shock, risking retirement accounts heavily exposed to AI-rich equities. They cite Nvidia’s rising debt insurance costs and a lofty Shiller P/E as signs of stretched valuations, echoed by Jeremy Grantham’s bubble warning and Goldman Sachs’ projection of a 10–20% equity drawdown in the next 12–24 months. The piece advocates diversification beyond tech, including gold (even Gold IRAs), private real estate platforms like Mogul and Lightstone DIRECT, and art via Masterworks, to shield long‑term retirement funds from a potential downturn.

Palantir’s Growth Highs Clash with a 26% 2026 Drop: Is the Rebound Beginning?

Palantir posted an 84.7% YoY revenue increase and raised FY2026 guidance to about $7.65–7.66B, yet its stock is down ~26% this year as AI software rotations and a lofty valuation (around 148x trailing earnings) keep the rebound debate alive; despite today’s 7% bounce alongside peers like CRM and MSFT, investors await Q2 results to see if a beat-and-raise can sustain momentum or if the multiple reset resumes, especially with a well-known short on the name.

Burry Expands Bearish Bets in Semiconductor Rally

Hedge fund investor Michael Burry increased his bearish bets on major chip stocks, selling short additional Micron shares at $933.86 and adding to his Nvidia short at $210.28, while expanding a large short position in the iShares Semiconductor ETF. He argues the semiconductor rally has run too far as AI spending and valuations come into question. His bets against Tesla and Palantir remain open, with Tesla positions shrinking as the stock falls, and he also boosted long exposure to Flutter and DraftKings.
