Michael Burry, the hedge fund manager who famously forecasted the 2008 housing market collapse, revealed his latest investment decisions on Friday through a post shared with his paid Substack audience.
The investor disclosed new positions in Chinese technology companies JD.com and Alibaba. According to Burry, JD represents a “significant add” comprising slightly more than 6% of his total portfolio, while Alibaba entered his holdings at a comparable allocation. The investor characterized the recent market downturn in these stocks as providing “an attractive entry point” for accumulation.
Alibaba Group Holding Limited, BABA
Shares of JD.com listed in the United States climbed more than 2% on Friday after Burry’s disclosure became public. Meanwhile, Alibaba stock traded slightly lower at $127.60 during afternoon market hours.
Burry also revealed an expansion of his GameStop holdings, noting it was “already a decent sized position” before the addition. The investor simultaneously established a position in payment processing firm Fiserv, citing his confidence in the company’s “new leadership” team.
Nvidia Short Position Grows as Burry Questions AI Spending
The prominent investor expanded his negative outlook on Nvidia through the purchase of January 2027 Strike 115 put options at a premium of 3.30. He noted elevated implied volatility levels and acknowledged considering an outright short sale but ultimately favored the risk-limited profile of put options.
“I am short at about 3% of notional value,” Burry disclosed in his update. He further confirmed maintaining his previous Nvidia January 2027 Strike 100 put contracts.
Earlier in February, Burry publicly raised concerns about whether major technology companies could maintain their substantial data center capital expenditures without negatively impacting profitability.
Despite the renowned investor’s continued pessimistic positioning, Nvidia shares advanced roughly 2.5% on Friday.
Palantir Remains in Crosshairs as Burry Questions Valuation
Burry revealed he has maintained short positions 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 stated definitively.
His remarks followed President Trump’s endorsement of Palantir via Truth Social, where the Commander-in-Chief highlighted the firm’s “great warfighting capabilities.” The presidential praise provided temporary support, helping shares recover from session lows.
Nevertheless, Palantir remained poised for approximately a 13% weekly decline and has fallen roughly 28% year-to-date in 2026. The stock exchanged hands near $127 per share on Friday, substantially exceeding Burry’s assessment of intrinsic value at under $50.
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 previous year.
The data analytics company has continued winning additional government contracts and deepening its Pentagon relationships throughout Trump’s second presidential term.
