Burry Expands Chip Shorts, Targets MU, NVDA and AMAT

Investor Michael Burry disclosed a new Micron short, adding to his existing bets against Nvidia, Applied Materials and the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) as he argues the AI‑chip rally looks stretched and a cyclical downturn—potentially around 30%—could unfold. He noted Micron’s 242% YTD surge and its stretch above the 200‑day moving average not seen since 1984, while bullish AI Capex and demand loom in the background. The market will hinge on Micron’s upcoming guidance and evolving AI hardware spending.

Burry Questions SpaceX and Anthropic's $1 Trillion Valuations

Michael Burry questions whether SpaceX and Anthropic can justify trillion-dollar valuations, arguing hype and the race for AI compute power may not last as compute becomes commoditized. SpaceX’s S-1 shows $18.7B revenue and a $4.9B net loss last year, while aiming for a roughly $2T public-market valuation; Anthropic has been valued around $965B, but Burry says there’s no guarantee it will ever be worth that much. He also critiques the current demand signals, including “tokenmaxxing.”

AI-mania vs. fundamentals: Burry cautions echoes of the dot-com peak

Michael Burry argues today’s AI-driven stock rally mirrors the late-1990s dot-com peak, with prices rising even as economic data falter. He points to the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index’s rapid 2026 gains and says the market is moving on a simple “up and up” thesis. Fellow investor Paul Tudor Jones also warns of a potential dramatic correction if valuations stay stretched, though he sees the rally possibly lasting another year or two.

Palantir’s 85% Growth Hits a Valuation Wall as Burry Bets on a Collapse

Palantir posted an 85% year‑over‑year revenue jump to $1.63 billion in Q1—the fastest growth since going public—driven by surging AI demand, but the stock slid on concerns the company is now priced for perfection at a multibillion-dollar valuation; billionaire short-seller Michael Burry reportedly bets against PLTR while CEO Alex Karp defends Palantir’s “scarce” AI platform and warns that competitors’ demos overstate capabilities. Analysts remain cautiously optimistic with a Moderate Buy consensus and an average target around $187, signaling substantial upside if momentum holds.

Michael Burry says he will sell at least part of his GameStop stake after the retailer unveiled a $56 billion bid to acquire eBay. While he backs Ryan Cohen’s vision, he argues the price is too high and GameStop would be better off pursuing other targets (like Wayfair) to meaningfully compete with Amazon, warning that the deal’s debt load could hamper competitiveness.
