According to the Wall Street Journal, Michael Burry has recently further expanded the empty layout of AI-related assets from the chip unit to the plant, industrial unit and Tesla. The most recent of its operations occurred at a time when the valuation of the AI block continued to rise, and the market was re-assessing whether large-scale capital expenditure would yield corresponding returns.

The empty range continues to expand.

Reports indicate that the current blanks in Barry include Tesla, Caterpillar, applications, and ETF SOXX, which tracks the chip manufacturer. The price of the assets concerned will fall when the heat of AI cools.

Among them, SOXX covers the semiconductor companies of Light Technology, AMD, etc. By extending the maturity this time to March next year, as compared to earlier options of a shorter duration, Barry has also lowered the threshold of the fall required to trigger a profit in his position.

  • The blanks include TSLA, CAT, AMAT and SOXX
  • SOXX Major coverage of semiconductor manufacturers in the United States
  • Extension of the relevant options until next March

Korea's investment triggers a new challenge.

Earlier this week, Samsung Electronics and SK Hercules announced that they would invest more than $500 billion to build a chip industry cluster. After the news was released, the chip unit once led to the strengthening of NASDAQ.

Burry then wrote on Substack that this round was directly driven by Korea's large-scale spending plan and that it could be “the beginning of the end”. His core judgement is that AI ' s capital investment, which continues to expand the industrial chain, does not necessarily translate into sufficient profits and returns.

This judgement is also relevant to the current industry environment. The United States Government has recently intervened on national security grounds in the release of the new Anthropic model, while companies like Microsoft are promoting lower-cost AI products programmes, and the pace of industrial competition and commercialization is changing.

Keep watching Zero Weaverda and Tesla.

In addition to the semiconductor ETF, Burry continues to expand the empty configuration of Inverda. This bet has lasted for months. He had previously predicted that the share price of Inweida and Palantir would decline significantly by 2027.

In its judgement, one of the risks to Britain is that part of the core client financing model may magnify cyclical fluctuations, while Palantir is considered too dependent on government contracts. The statements also gave rise to counter-arguments on the corporate side. Young Weida denied that there was a problem with the financing arrangements, and Alexander Karp, Chief Executive Officer of Palantir, had previously publicly criticized Barry.

With respect to Tesla, Barry has marked the target price of $416.22 in his notes. At the same time, he included Caterpillar in the empty group. Although not typical AI, its equipment is widely used in data centres and chip factory construction and is therefore considered to be one of the beneficiaries of the AI investment boom.

These empty transactions have not yet been fully realized in terms of stock price performance. Ying Weidar has fallen by about 5 per cent since he released the relevant bets, and Palantir has dropped by about 40 per cent. To date, no further comments on the latest transactions have been made by either Barry himself or the company concerned.
