Michael Burry, the investor famous for forecasting the 2008 housing market collapse, revealed several portfolio adjustments on Friday through a Substack post accessible to paying subscribers.
The hedge fund manager disclosed acquisitions of JD.com and Alibaba shares. Burry characterized JD as a “significant add,” representing slightly over 6% of his total portfolio. Alibaba entered his holdings as a fresh position at comparable weighting. The investor attributed his timing to recent price weakness, which presented “an attractive entry point.”
Alibaba Group Holding Limited, BABA
Shares of JD.com listed in the United States climbed more than 2% on Friday after the announcement. Alibaba stock traded marginally lower at $127.60 during afternoon market hours.
Burry disclosed additions to his existing GameStop stake, noting it was “already a decent sized position.” He simultaneously purchased shares of payment technology firm Fiserv, expressing confidence in the organization’s “new leadership.”
Nvidia Short Position Expands
The investor expanded his pessimistic wager against Nvidia through the purchase of January 2027 Strike 115 put options at $3.30 per contract. He noted elevated implied volatility levels and acknowledged considering an outright short position but ultimately favored the capped risk profile of put options.
“I am short at about 3% of notional value,” Burry stated. He verified that he maintains his previous Nvidia January 2027 Strike 100 put contracts.
Earlier in February, Burry openly challenged whether major technology companies could maintain their substantial data center capital expenditures without negatively impacting profitability.
Nvidia stock advanced approximately 2.5% on Friday regardless of Burry’s persistent bearish outlook.
Palantir Position Maintained Despite Trump Endorsement
Burry revealed he has wagered against Palantir since autumn 2025 and has adjusted the position multiple times. His current holdings include June 2027 Strike 50 puts and December 2026 Strike 100 puts.
“I am not selling these today,” he declared.
His disclosure followed President Trump’s endorsement of Palantir via Truth Social, where he lauded the company for its “great warfighting capabilities.” The presidential statement temporarily pulled the stock higher from its session lows.
Palantir remained headed toward a weekly decline of roughly 13% and has fallen approximately 28% in 2026. The shares exchanged hands near $127 on Friday, significantly exceeding Burry’s valuation estimate of below $50.
Alex Karp, Palantir’s CEO, previously characterized 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.
Palantir continues winning additional government contracts and broadening its Pentagon collaboration during President Trump’s second administration.
