Michael Burry Warns AI Will Crash the US Stock Market
Burry said the Nasdaq 100 is trading at 43 times earnings and warned that chip stocks have surged nearly 70% since the end of March.
- Investor Michael Burry warned that the Nasdaq 100 Index faces a dramatic reversal after a "parabolic" surge drove technology valuations to unsustainable heights and Wall Street to record levels.
- Burry stated the current market resembles the peak of the dot-com bubble, citing the Philadelphia Stock Exchange Semiconductor Index surge of nearly 70 per cent since March as key evidence.
- Bespoke Investment Group data shows the semiconductor index pushed far above its 200-day moving average only twice before—July 1995 and March 2000, both at market peaks—underscoring current extremes.
- Burry claims Wall Street may be overstating earnings by more than 50 per cent at high-growth companies, with the Nasdaq 100 trading at 43 times earnings versus an implied level of around 30 times.
- Advising investors to take profits and reduce tech exposure, Burry holds a "significant leveraged short position against a portfolio of companies" he finds "depressed and cheap." He warned that resolution will mean much lower prices.
