Michael Burry, the legendary investor who famously foresaw the 2008 housing market collapse, revealed several portfolio adjustments on Friday through a post on his paid Substack channel.
The investor disclosed purchases of Chinese tech giants JD.com and Alibaba. JD represents what Burry termed a “significant add,” comprising slightly more than 6% of his holdings, while Alibaba entered as a fresh position at comparable weighting. According to Burry, the recent downturn in these stocks presented him with “an attractive entry point.”
Alibaba Group Holding Limited, BABA
Shares of JD.com traded on U.S. exchanges climbed more than 2% Friday after the announcement. Alibaba stock showed modest weakness, trading at $127.60 during afternoon hours.
Burry’s GameStop holdings expanded as well, which he characterized as “already a decent sized position.” Additionally, he acquired shares of payment processing firm Fiserv, expressing faith in the company’s “new leadership.”
Nvidia Short Bet Expands
The investor amplified his negative outlook on Nvidia through the acquisition of January 2027 Strike 115 put contracts at 3.30. Burry noted elevated implied volatility levels and mentioned considering an outright short sale but opted for puts due to their capped risk profile.
“I am short at about 3% of notional value,” Burry stated. He verified that his earlier January 2027 Strike 100 Nvidia puts remain active in his portfolio.
Earlier in February, Burry publicly raised concerns about whether major technology companies could maintain their massive data center capital expenditures without damaging profitability.
Despite Burry’s persistent negative positioning, Nvidia stock advanced roughly 2.5% Friday.
Palantir Remains a Major Short Target
Burry revealed he has maintained a bearish position on Palantir since autumn 2025, rolling the trades forward multiple times. His current exposure includes June 2027 Strike 50 puts alongside December 2026 Strike 100 puts.
“I am not selling these today,” he stated definitively.
His remarks followed President Trump’s endorsement of Palantir via Truth Social, where he highlighted the firm’s “great warfighting capabilities.” The presidential praise temporarily stabilized the stock during Friday’s session.
Nevertheless, Palantir headed toward a roughly 13% weekly decline and has fallen approximately 28% year-to-date in 2026. Friday’s trading saw shares around $127, significantly exceeding Burry’s fundamental valuation of under $50 per share.
Palantir CEO Alex Karp previously dismissed Burry’s positions as “super weird” and “bats— crazy” following Scion Asset Management’s disclosure of bearish bets against both Palantir and Nvidia in the prior year.
Meanwhile, Palantir continues winning additional government agreements and deepening its Pentagon collaboration under Trump’s second administration.
