Renowned Investor Michael Burry Takes Short Position in Semiconductor ETF

Deep News04-25 06:10

Michael Burry, the investor famous for being depicted in the film "The Big Short," announced on Friday via Substack that he has established a new short position by purchasing put options on the iShares Semiconductor ETF (ticker: SOXX).

Specifically, he acquired SOXX put options with a January 2027 expiration date and a strike price of $330.

This move comes as the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index recorded its 18th consecutive day of gains on Friday, setting a new record.

Burry commented, "I know the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index will pull back, and veteran semiconductor industry professionals know it too. The current rally is largely driven by technical factors. The narrative of a chip supply shortage amid massive data center expansion is very compelling." He added that if he held long positions in semiconductor stocks, he would choose to sell at this time.

Burry also disclosed that he has increased his holdings in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac stock, and added to his position in Sprouts Farmers Market.

He noted that his current largest holdings include GameStop, JD.com, and Molina Healthcare. Furthermore, he has purchased additional shares of Molina Healthcare.
