Michael Burry, the legendary investor who famously anticipated the 2008 housing market collapse, revealed several portfolio adjustments on Friday through a Substack announcement available to paying subscribers.
According to Burry’s disclosure, he initiated positions in Chinese tech giants JD.com and Alibaba. He characterized JD as a “significant add” representing slightly over 6% of his total portfolio, while Alibaba entered as a fresh holding at comparable allocation. The investor pointed to recent market downturns in these stocks as creating “an attractive entry point.”
Alibaba Group Holding Limited, BABA
Shares of JD.com trading in the United States climbed more than 2% on Friday after Burry’s announcement became public. Meanwhile, Alibaba stock edged slightly lower to $127.60 during afternoon market hours.
Burry additionally expanded his existing GameStop holdings, which he noted was “already a decent sized position.” The investor also established a position in Fiserv, a payment technology firm, expressing confidence in the direction of the company’s “new leadership.”
Nvidia Short Position Expanded
Burry amplified his pessimistic wager on Nvidia through the purchase of January 2027 Strike 115 put options at a price of 3.30. The investor noted that implied volatility remains elevated and mentioned he weighed directly shorting the shares but ultimately chose puts due to their capped risk profile.
“I am short at about 3% of notional value,” Burry stated. He further confirmed his retention of previously purchased Nvidia January 2027 Strike 100 puts.
Earlier in February, Burry openly challenged whether major technology corporations could maintain their substantial data center investments without negatively impacting profitability.
Despite Burry’s ongoing bearish positioning, Nvidia stock climbed approximately 2.5% on Friday.
Palantir Puts Retained as Burry Declares Stock “Wildly Overvalued”
Burry disclosed that he has maintained a bearish position against Palantir since autumn 2025, rolling the contracts forward multiple times. His current holdings include June 2027 Strike 50 puts alongside December 2026 Strike 100 puts.
“I am not selling these today,” he emphasized.
His remarks followed a Truth Social post from President Trump commending Palantir, describing the company as possessing “great warfighting capabilities.” The presidential endorsement provided temporary support, lifting shares from their session lows.
Nevertheless, Palantir remained headed toward approximately 13% losses for the week and has declined roughly 28% year-to-date in 2026. The stock changed hands near $127 per share on Friday, significantly exceeding Burry’s fundamental valuation of below $50.
Palantir CEO Alex Karp previously characterized Burry’s bearish positions as “super weird” and “bats— crazy” following Scion Asset Management’s disclosure of short bets against both Palantir and Nvidia in the prior year.
Palantir has continued winning additional government contracts and deepening its Pentagon collaboration throughout Trump’s second presidential term.
