Legendary Investor Michael Burry Bets $282,500,000 on Six Stocks After Turning Bearish on Nvidia and Palantir

As he prepares to close his legendary hedge fund, new filings show “Big Short” investor Michael Burry has bet on six stocks while placing bearish put options on Nvidia (NVDA) and Palantir (PLTR).

Data from the firm’s latest U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) 13F filing shows Burry’s Scion Asset Management opened call positions on the pharmaceutical firm Pfizer (PFE) and energy giant Halliburton (HAL) in Q3 2025.

Scion holds 6.0 million call options on PFE worth $152.880 million and 2.5 million call options on HAL worth $61.5 million. Call options represent speculative bets that the underlying asset will rise. HAL and PFE are both listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

Burry’s hedge fund also added 125,000 shares worth $23.92 million in the NYSE-listed stock Molina Healthcare (MOH), alongside new positions in SLM Corp (SLM) and Bruker Corp’s preferred stock.

Data shows Scion owns $13.287 million worth of SLM, representing 480,054 shares, while holding 48,334 shares in BRKR worth $13.137 million.

Burry also increased the firm’s existing Lululemon Athletica (LULU) holding from 50,000 to 100,000 shares, worth $17.793 million.

All in all, Scion’s new long positions as of Q3 amount to $282.5 million.

Earlier this month, Burry grabbed headlines after Scion’s 13F filing showed that he had placed bearish bets on the chipmaker Nvidia (NVDA) and the artificial intelligence-powered firm Palantir (PLTR).

According to the filing, Burry opened $912.1 million worth of puts on PLTR and $186.58 million in puts on NVDA.

Burry announced the closure of Scion Asset Management in a letter to investors dated October 27th, citing a misalignment between his value assessments and current market valuations, with plans to liquidate assets and return capital by year’s end.
