Why 'Big Short' Michael Burry is short Nvidia, not Meta or Microsoft
"Nvidia is "simply the purest play," Burry wrote in a Substack post last weekend. The company has become "entirely dependent on hyperscaler spending, and I do not see how that math works," he continued. The investor of "The Big Short" fame, who pivoted from running a hedge fund to writing online late last year, added that Nvidia is likely to "sell $400 billion of its chips this year and there are less than $100 billion in application layer use cases.""
""Nvidia also is the most loved, and least doubted," Burry wrote. "So shorting it is cheap." Burry also name-checked CoreWeave, a provider of cloud services built for AI and a strategic partner of Nvidia, calling it the graphics-processor giant's "pet." Nvidia's stock price has surged 12-fold since the start of 2023, making the graphics-chip maker the world's most valuable public company with a $4.5 trillion market capitalization."
Nvidia is portrayed as a pure-play on AI that is highly dependent on hyperscaler spending, with projections of about $400 billion in chip sales against under $100 billion in application-layer use cases. The company is extremely popular among investors and widely trusted, creating an argument that shorting it may be inexpensive. CoreWeave is noted as a strategic cloud partner characterized as Nvidia's "pet." Nvidia's share price has risen roughly twelvefold since early 2023, producing a market capitalization near $4.5 trillion. Meta, Alphabet, and Microsoft are identified as less exposed because of broader, diversified businesses.
