Burry said his Micron position reflects concerns that the recent rise in Micron shares may have been fueled by investor enthusiasm rather than underlying fundamentals. He described Micron as a highly cyclical business and pointed to the stock's history of large declines during prior market cycles. Micron shares have climbed more than 240% since the beginning of 2026, driven partly by demand tied to artificial intelligence and memory-related spending trends. However, Micron has also retreated around 10% over the past month as investors reassessed semiconductor valuations. Burry said he may expand bearish positions if volatility moderates. The investor previously disclosed short positions involving Nvidia ( NASDAQ:NVDA ), Applied Materials ( NASDAQ:AMAT ), and the iShares Semiconductor ETF ( NASDAQ:SOXX ), reflecting broader caution around semiconductor shares tied to the AI trade.
