Where it stands
Market participants are reacting to a 20% jump in Nebius stock following a period where the company reported a 454% revenue quarter. This performance directly contradicts the short position taken by Michael Burry, who had characterized his bets against AI stocks as being like shooting fish in a barrel.
Coverage from Yahoo Finance and The Motley Fool indicates that the short thesis appears broken as both Nebius and Palantir continue to see share price increases despite the investor's negative outlook. Attention is now focused on whether the sustained upward momentum in AI-related equities will compel further adjustments to these short positions.
While Seeking Alpha confirms that Burry has actively added to his AI shorts, coverage does not yet specify if the current market volatility will force an exit or if the positions will be maintained amidst the ongoing market shift.
