Michael Burry, the hedge fund manager who gained fame for his accurate forecast of the 2008 housing market collapse, revealed multiple portfolio adjustments on Friday through a post on his paid Substack platform.
The investor disclosed purchases of JD.com and Alibaba equity positions. Burry characterized JD as a “significant add” representing slightly over 6% of his portfolio allocation, while Alibaba entered as a fresh holding at comparable weighting. He noted that the recent decline in these stocks provided him with “an attractive entry point.”
Alibaba Group Holding Limited, BABA
Shares of JD.com trading on U.S. exchanges climbed more than 2% on Friday after the announcement. Alibaba stock traded slightly lower at $127.60 during afternoon market hours.
Burry also expanded his GameStop stake, noting it was “already a decent sized position.” Additionally, he acquired shares of payment processing firm Fiserv, expressing confidence in the company’s “new leadership.”
Nvidia Short Position Gets Bigger
The investor amplified his negative outlook on Nvidia through the purchase of January 2027 Strike 115 put options at a premium of 3.30. He observed that implied volatility remains elevated and while he contemplated establishing a direct short position, he opted for puts due to their capped risk profile.
“I am short at about 3% of notional value,” Burry stated. He additionally verified that he maintains his previous Nvidia January 2027 Strike 100 put contracts.
Earlier this year in February, Burry raised questions about whether major technology companies could maintain their substantial data center capital expenditure without negatively impacting profitability.
Nvidia stock advanced roughly 2.5% on Friday, unfazed by Burry’s ongoing bearish positioning.
Palantir Remains in Burry’s Crosshairs as ‘Wildly Overvalued’
Burry revealed he has maintained a short position 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.
His remarks followed a Truth Social post from President Trump commending Palantir, describing it as a company with “great warfighting capabilities.” The presidential endorsement provided temporary support to the stock during intraday trading.
Palantir remained on course for approximately a 13% weekly decline and has fallen roughly 28% year-to-date in 2026. The shares changed hands near $127 on Friday, substantially exceeding Burry’s valuation estimate of under $50 per share.
Palantir CEO Alex Karp previously characterized Burry’s positions as “super weird” and “bats— crazy” following Scion Asset Management’s regulatory disclosure of bearish stakes against both Palantir and Nvidia last year.
The data analytics company has continued winning additional government contracts and deepening its Pentagon collaboration throughout Trump’s second presidential term.
