PacWest agreed to merge with rival Bank of California (BANC) in late July in a deal set to close next year.\nIn the first quarter, Burry spent more than $23 million betting on financial stocks during a quarter in which Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), Signature Bank, and Silvergate all went under in a matter of days.\nScion also closed out positions in Capital One (COF) and Wells Fargo (WFC), both of which were opened during the first quarter of this year. \nScion also trimmed 76% of its holdings in New York Community Bancorp (NYCB), the regional lender which acquired $38.4 billion in assets belonging to Signature Bank from the FDIC in a $2.7 billion deal.\nDuring the second quarter, the SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF (KRE) fell about 7%, lagging the broader Financial (XLF) sector and the S&P 500, which rose 5.4% and 8.4%, respectively, over the same period. \nShares of Western Alliance rose about 5.5% during the second quarter, while Huntington stock fell about 2% and PacWest dropped 13%, a move that came before the company's merger announcement. \nDuring the second quarter, Scion also sold out of its positions in Chinese e-commerce and tech companies Alibaba (BABA) and JD.com (JD). \nScion did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the investments.\nBurry gained fame for his moves during the 2008 crisis, predicted and then profiting from a collapse in residential real estate prices as early as 2007.

It did, however, raise its holdings in Citigroup (C) and investment bank Jefferies (JEF) while also opening a small position in Capital One and nearly doubling its stake in Bank of New York Mellon (BK), according to filings from Friday.\nRenaissance Technologies was a net buyer of banks in the the second quarter, according to its filing. The firm opened a sizable position in Bank of America (BAC) as well as a smaller position in San Antonio, Texas-based regional lender Cullen Frost (CFR) while cutting its exposure to Bank of New York Mellon and Deutsche Bank AG (DB).\nClick here for the latest stock market news and in-depth analysis, including events that move stocks\nRead the latest financial and business news from Yahoo Finance","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.29.3","shortVersion":"4.29.3","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2359865858"}
