Michael Burry continues to bet against the AI stock wave, at a time when the market seems to be challenging this bet entirely.
Burry recently disclosed bearish positions in Oracle and Nebius, and it appears he is betting against the semiconductor sector via the SOXX fund, with a short position in Micron as well.
What’s interesting to me isn’t just that Burry is betting against these companies—it’s that he’s doing so despite the strong upward momentum in the AI sector.
Personally, I don’t think a stock rise in a single day means Burry is wrong, or that his bet will necessarily succeed. In the end, the real wager here is bigger: will the growth and future earnings of AI companies justify the high valuations the market assigns to them, or has the current excitement outrun the fundamentals?
Burry believes there is significant exaggeration in spending and investing in AI infrastructure, and he specifically warns about commitments and debt, along with execution risks at some companies.
From my perspective, this is one of the most compelling battles in the market right now: are we looking at a true technological revolution that deserves these valuations, or is this a speculative wave that will ultimately need to correct?
Most importantly: I don’t think the outcome of this bet will be decided by the movement of a stock in one day, but by the numbers and earnings over the years to come.
