Michael Burry bets $282 million on new stocks – farewell to hedge fund!

Michael Burry, the legendary investor and founder of Scion Asset Management, recently made some significant changes to his portfolio. According to a recent SEC 13F filing, Burry, known for his early warnings about market bubbles, invested $282.5 million in six different stocks. This decision comes after Burry took a bearish position on Nvidia (NVDA) and Palantir (PLTR), once again showing that he remains skeptical about the current market environment.

New positions added include Pfizer (PFE) and Halliburton (HAL). His exposure to Pfizer is 6 million call options worth $152.88 million, while Halliburton is 2.5 million call options worth $61.5 million. Both companies are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Burry also added 125,000 shares of Molina Healthcare (MOH) worth $23.92 million and initiated new positions in SLM Corp (SLM) and Bruker Corp (BRKR), totaling $26.424 million.

Increasing existing stocks

Most notable is the doubling of his holdings in Lululemon Athletica (LULU), where Burry increased his stake from 50,000 to 100,000 shares, for a total value of $17.793 million. These new long-term positions demonstrate Burry's belief in the potential of these companies, even in a more volatile market environment.

Despite these optimistic investments, Burry also bet heavily on falling prices for Nvidia and Palantir. The size of his put options on Nvidia is $186.58 million, while he has invested a massive $912.1 million on Palantir. These beliefs suggest that Burry perceives the long-term valuations of his new investments, as opposed to these technology stocks, to be false.

Hedge fund closure

On October 27, 2025, Burry informed its investors of the closure of Scion Asset Management. In a letter to his investors, he said there was a discrepancy between his valuations and current market values. He planned to liquidate his assets and return capital by the end of the year. This move could be an indication of its growing concerns about the stability and sustainability of the market.

It remains to be seen how Burry's decisions will impact markets in the coming months, particularly in terms of technology sector performance and overall market indications.
