Michael Burry, the prominent investor who famously forecasted the 2008 housing market collapse, revealed several portfolio adjustments on Friday through a post shared with his paid Substack subscribers.

The investor disclosed acquisitions of shares in Chinese technology companies JD.com and Alibaba. Burry characterized JD as a “significant add,” representing just over 6% of his total portfolio holdings. Alibaba entered as a fresh position at a comparable allocation. According to Burry, the recent downward pressure on these stocks created “an attractive entry point” for investment.

Shares of JD.com trading in the United States climbed more than 2% on Friday after the information became public. Alibaba’s stock showed modest weakness, trading at $127.60 during afternoon session.

The hedge fund manager also expanded his existing GameStop stake, noting it was “already a decent sized position” in his fund. Additionally, Burry purchased shares of Fiserv, a payment technology enterprise, expressing faith in the organization’s “new leadership” direction.

Nvidia Short Position Expands

Burry amplified his negative wager on Nvidia through the acquisition of January 2027 Strike 115 put options purchased at 3.30. The investor noted that implied volatility remains elevated and while he contemplated establishing an outright short position, he favored the risk-defined nature of put options.

“I am short at about 3% of notional value,” Burry disclosed in his update. He further confirmed his continued ownership of previously acquired Nvidia January 2027 Strike 100 puts.

Earlier in February, Burry openly challenged whether major technology companies could maintain their substantial data center capital expenditures without negatively impacting profitability.

Despite Burry’s ongoing pessimistic outlook, Nvidia shares advanced roughly 2.5% on Friday.

Palantir Position Maintained as Burry Questions Valuation

Burry revealed he has maintained bearish positions against Palantir since autumn 2025, having adjusted the trade 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 emphatically.

His remarks followed President Trump’s endorsement of Palantir via Truth Social, where the president highlighted the firm’s “great warfighting capabilities.” The presidential acknowledgment provided temporary support, helping the stock recover from session lows.

Despite this boost, Palantir remained on course for approximately a 13% weekly decline and has dropped roughly 28% during 2026. Trading around $127 per share on Friday, the stock substantially exceeded Burry’s assessment of its 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 prior year.

The data analytics company has continued winning additional government contracts and deepening its Pentagon relationships throughout Trump’s second presidential term.
