• Michael Burry Says Stocks Could Peak Within 9 Months — and He’s Betting Against the Nasdaq and Chip Stocks

  Michael Burry has consolidated his bearish exposure into puts on the Nasdaq-100 and the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SMH), keeping longer-dated puts on Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) and Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) and closing other bearish positions. His forecast points to a possible market peak within nine months, but the report lacks the portfolio weights, premiums or exposure figures needed to show whether his overall bet grew. The semiconductor ETF is up more than 67% year to date, and Nvidia, Taiwan Semiconductor and AMD together make up 34.5% of its holdings. The article also notes that time decay can erode an option even when the direction is right, and that these puts expire in April and June 2027, possibly before a late-window peak.

• Michael Burry Is Betting Against These 4 AI Stocks. Is He Right?

  Michael Burry, known for correctly predicting the 2008 mortgage crisis, is betting against Nvidia, Palantir, Tesla and Micron through put options. He argues Nvidia's chips are not being depreciated properly and their usable life will be shorter than expected, and he criticises its circular financing, such as its deal with CoreWeave, which Nvidia has rejected. Burry calls Palantir wildly overvalued, with its stock at 171 times trailing earnings and 84 times trailing sales, while Tesla, with a P/E of 359 and net income down 60% last year, is also a target. On Micron, he worries the memory cycle will turn down, even though its stock is up 220% year to date and trades at 12 times trailing sales. The author agrees Palantir looks overvalued, would not make Nvidia a central holding, and sees Micron as a stock to approach with caution.

• NVDA Logs Best Day In Over A Month: Burry Spotlights Partnership Blitz — Analyst Calls Full-Stack Strategy 'Underappreciated'

  Nvidia shares closed nearly 3% higher at $221.97 on Wednesday, their best day in over a month, as Michael Burry highlighted a wave of partnership announcements from GTC Berlin. Analyst Gene Munster argued investors still underappreciate Nvidia's full-stack AI strategy, while CEO Jensen Huang said the DSX Pod could cut the time from equipment arrival to token production from four to five months to about one month. Huang also cited nearly $10 billion invested in Europe over the past year, more than 12,000 partnerships in the region, and Vera Rubin performance 30 times Blackwell's in large language model processing. The keynote included no new financial metrics or guidance, and Munster pointed instead to SpaceX's $35-40B December-quarter capex guide as a read-through for Nvidia's earnings. The stock, up 19% year to date, slipped about 1.6% in overnight trading.

• Michael Burry Is Bearish on Palantir, Which Is Up 19% Over the Past Year, but His Oracle Short Just Got a Boost From a 53% Stock Drop. Is His AI Bubble Bet Still Worth Following?

  Michael Burry, who made his fortune betting against the U.S. housing market before the 2008 crisis, remains bearish on AI overinvestment even after disbanding Scion Capital. He holds put options on Nvidia, Palantir and Oracle, but so far only the Oracle bet has paid off, while Nvidia and Palantir have not fallen as he expected. Burry argues the market is in denial and propped up by borrowed money, and says this denial phase lasted six to nine months before previous crashes. He has also criticized Nvidia’s chip depreciation math, while buying MercadoLibre and Deckers Outdoor. The author concludes that AI investors should still follow this bear case to maintain an objective view.

• Michael Burry Says Anthropic’s IPO Filing Changes Nothing About His AI Bear Case — Flags Financial Risks Beyond The Tech

  Michael Burry said Anthropic's IPO filing has not changed his bearish view of the AI trade, since better technology does not resolve his concerns about financing, infrastructure spending and growth. He cited leverage in the financing structure, the inability to plug in the latest chips, memory capacity shifting to HBM, and compression from smaller open-weight models, as well as financing timelines that do not match the investments they fund. He said the prospectus did not reflect developer-market changes from the end of Q2 and during Q3, or a pullback in tokenmaxxing, citing a report that Meta's Claude Code users fell from 60,000 to 30,000. Anthropic filed for a Nasdaq listing under the ticker ANT, reporting $16.3 billion in first-half 2026 revenue and an $80.7 billion net loss, largely from a non-cash accounting adjustment tied to convertible financing, while its operating loss narrowed to about $693 million. Burry earlier said Anthropic's valuation could buy 78 profitable S&P 500 companies.

• Michael Burry Is Short This AI Darling. Should You Be Worried?

  Michael Burry is betting against Micron (MU), even though the stock trades at 5.4 times this year's expected earnings and about 4.6 times one-year forward earnings, versus a forward P/E of around 19 for the S&P 500. In the fiscal fourth quarter ended Sept. 3, Micron posted non-GAAP EPS of $33.42, above the $31.61 analyst estimate, with adjusted EPS up 1,003% year over year and sales up 379% to $54.2 billion. Burry argues that the current memory shortage, driven by demand for HBM chips, could reverse in line with the sector's historical cyclicality. He has also raised risks from circular financing deals across the AI industry and the rise of Chinese memory-chip makers that could weaken Micron's pricing power.

• World Bank's Banga: Availability of capital 'not really an issue' as AI demand drives up borrowing costs

  World Bank President Ajay Banga told CNBC that capital remains available despite concerns that AI demand is pushing interest rates higher, calling it "not really an issue." He said the World Bank mobilized $112 billion last year, around three times the amount recorded three years earlier, and that emerging markets are not showing the same hesitancy because their investments focus on infrastructure such as bridges and roads, while developed economies need funding for large AI use cases. Banga noted that investors may be concerned about circular financing and the AI business model, but he still believes AI will be transformative and profitable, though "everybody sees bumps in the road from here to there." He also said the private capital the World Bank oversees does not go to governments, which helps it avoid fears of debt crisis and rising bond yield challenges.

• Better Defense Stock to Own Through 2030: Palantir vs. RTX Corporation

  The article compares Palantir (PLTR) and RTX Corporation (RTX) as two ways to invest in rising global defense spending. Palantir's software helps defense and intelligence agencies gather and coordinate information; its second-quarter revenue rose 93% year over year (U.S. commercial up 149%, U.S. government up 90%), and it raised full-year guidance. However, the stock trades at a trailing P/E of 168 and competes with established technology providers. Of 30 analysts, the average rating is a moderate buy, with target prices for the next year between $80 and $265. RTX, through Raytheon, Pratt & Whitney and Collins Aerospace, supplies missile defense, military engines and aircraft components; its third-quarter sales rose 11%, its record backlog reached $340 billion including $164 billion in defense orders, and its P/E is 31. The article argues Palantir suits growth investors who accept a high valuation, while RTX is the more balanced option given its established earnings, diversification and dividend.

• Santoli: We are nearing a now-or-never moment for the AI trade to rebound

  The S&P 500 has moved sideways for months, while former AI leaders (tracked by the iShares AI Innovation ETF) fell 35 percentage points relative to the equal-weight S&P 500, recovered half, then gave back most of the bounce. Higher bond yields and oil above $100 a barrel have pressured cyclical sectors, and tighter debt markets are raising hurdle rates for marginal AI data-center borrowers. Goldman Sachs cited trader exhaustion, noting the momentum-factor basket moved at least 5% in a day 30 times in 2026. John Kolovos of Macro Risk Advisors says sentiment is nearing a “fat pitch” for a tactical rebound, but the macro backdrop must cooperate, and hedge funds have sharply cut leverage and tech exposure. Citadel Securities data show retail investors heavily buying dips, yet past market bottoms came when retail traders were net sellers, so any rebound may prove limited in strength and durability.

• Big Tech Is About to Report. Nvidia Investors Should Watch One Number.

  Microsoft and Alphabet will report quarterly results on Oct. 28 after the close, and Amazon on Oct. 29. Because these three companies are Nvidia customers, the article says Nvidia investors should watch capital expenditures (capex). Microsoft gave capex guidance of $175 billion for fiscal 2027, Alphabet expects 2026 capex of $195 billion to $205 billion, up from an earlier $180 billion to $190 billion, and Amazon raised its cash capex forecast by $20 billion to $220 billion. Nvidia reported that its latest quarterly revenue rose 106% to $96 billion, with more than 90% from data centers. The article says rising capex or signs of sustained heavy spending would be positive for Nvidia, while any slowdown would be negative in the short term.
