Master Investors Excerpt2026-06-26Burry: Technical, not fundamentalMichael Burry's June 25 statement frames the selloff in Hong Kong and China equities as "technical pressure, not fundamental," driven by capital moving into the chip narrative in South Korea and Japan. The article connects that view to his Microsoft 2028 LEAPS call purchase, selective additions to JD/ADBE/FISV, Alibaba tax-loss sale, half-cover of the Palantir short, and evening "Puts and a half have I" signal.
Master Investors Excerpt2026-06-25Burry on LULU: "Bad management is a value investor's best friend"Michael Burry published a full-length Substack thesis on Lululemon on June 24, arguing the stock is the only U.S. apparel retailer of scale trading below 3× tangible book and 10× earnings — a valuation he frames as a screen result, not a story bet. He attributes the 75% decline from the 2025 high to management missteps, a failed product launch, and tariff headwinds, and positions incoming CEO Heidi O'Neill's September start as the catalyst that ends the stall.

Cathie Wood's ARK Invest bought $9.7M of the stock the same day, setting up a direct clash of frameworks.

Master Investors Excerpt2026-06-18Grantham: seven monopolies just became a dogfightGrantham's first public statement in 15 days: AI rivals railroads as history's great bubble, the Mag 7 shifted from seven separate monopolies to a capital-heavy AI dogfight, and his four-instance bubble-bursting signal is still waiting to fire.
Master Investors Excerpt2026-06-17Ackman: A failed SpaceX IPO could crack the marketBill Ackman told AJ Bell on June 16 that SpaceX's IPO is a market-level mood test — a failure would be "very disappointing for markets" and could cascade into dampening AI investment broadly. Unusually, he's running Pershing Square's most defensive portfolio in years with no hedge in place at all, arguing the structural safety comes from owning balance-sheet-strong, capital-independent businesses. His current opportunity set: Microsoft at 21x earnings and Uber at 17x, which he calls "extraordinary cheap prices." He won't invest in the Anthropic IPO because open-source models are already better than closed models from six months ago.

Rather than selling, Burry bought more at ~$48.50 — his third CEO in as many years — arguing the 79% collapse from $226 reflects governance panic, not a broken business. His scenario table shows even the bear case implies meaningful upside from current prices.

Master Investors Excerpt2026-06-14Burry buys PYPL, ADBE, BABA, VEEVOn June 12, Michael Burry published an unusually explicit Substack post naming four stocks he is actively buying — PayPal, Adobe, Alibaba, and Veeva Systems — and writing out the reasoning. His argument: AI capital flows are systematically mispricing mature, cash-generating companies, just as internet enthusiasm mispriced Ross Stores and Clayton Homes in 2000. He called LLMs "language models, not AI" and said training hits diminishing returns before generating profit. The post is notable because Burry almost never explains his current positions in real time — the fact that he did may itself be a signal of conviction.
