Michael Burry Predicts Imminent AI Bubble Burst with Put Options on Micron and Nebius for Mid-2027
Yahoo Finance ·
Renowned for successfully predicting the subprime mortgage crisis, hedge fund manager Michael Burry has set his sights on the artificial intelligence sector, warning that a major market correction is fast approaching. Convinced that the AI frenzy is stretching to a breaking point, Burry adjusted his portfolio at the end of September to adopt a more aggressive short-selling strategy. Rather than maintaining standard short positions, he opted for put options with relatively low strike prices that expire in June 2027. This tactical shift includes bets against prominent firms such as Micron and Nebius, indicating his expectation of substantial price drops within the coming quarters. Burry argues that the current market misprices risk for securities tied to major technology enterprises that concurrently operate as vendors, customers, and financial backers for one another, creating an unsustainable ecosystem reminiscent of past financial bubbles.
AI 시장 분석
Famous investor Michael Burry, who predicted the subprime mortgage crisis, has strengthened his short position by heavily purchasing put options on Micron (MU) and Nebius (NBIS) to prepare for an AI bubble burst. He pointed out that circular shareholding and complex transaction structures among Big Tech companies cause the actual risks to be underestimated. Investors need to monitor Burry's timeline of mid-2027 and reassess the overvaluation of AI-related stocks.
하락 영향
- AI — Michael Burry has built massive short positions through put options, claiming that AI-related stocks have excessive valuations and hidden risks, which could increase downward pressure.

DYAX 전담 분석
Michael Burry is betting on a sharp decline in the AI sector by purchasing put options on Micron and Nebius expiring in June 2027. This is based on his judgment that internal transactions and excessive valuations among Big Tech companies are masking actual risks.
The bullish scenario is that AI demand continues and earnings justify the valuations, while the bearish scenario is that the bubble bursts as Burry expects and related stocks plummet. Key indicators to watch are the actual cash-generating power relative to capital expenditures of major AI companies and supply chain risks.
