About Michael Burry
**Michael Burry / Scion Asset Management**
Michael Burry serves as the principal of Scion Asset Management, a California-based investment firm widely recognized for its concentrated, high-turnover approach to equity management. As of the Q3 2025 13F filing, Scion reported a total portfolio value of approximately $1.4 billion distributed across just 8 disclosed positions, reflecting a notably narrow breadth of holdings relative to similarly sized institutional managers.
The latest filing shows the portfolio anchored by Palantir Technologies (PLTR), which accounted for 66.0% of total reported value. Nvidia Corporation (NVDA) represented the second-largest position at 13.5%, followed by Pfizer Inc. (PFE) at 11.1%, Halliburton Co. (HAL) at 4.5%, and Molina Healthcare Inc. (MOH) at 1.7%. The top five holdings collectively represented 96.8% of the portfolio. Sector exposure is heavily concentrated in Information Technology, which accounted for 79.5% of disclosed assets, with the remainder distributed across Energy and Healthcare.
Quarter-over-quarter activity recorded in the Q3 2025 filing was substantial in scope. Scion disclosed 6 new positions and exited 9 positions during the period, while reducing 2 existing holdings and recording no outright increases to prior positions. The combination of significant exits alongside new initiations reflects a high portfolio turnover profile. The firm holds zero increased positions from the prior quarter, and the two reduced positions were NVDA and PFE, each trimmed from their prior reported levels.

About
Founder of Scion Asset Management. Best known for his early bet against the U.S. housing market in 2007–2008.
Scion Asset Management disclosed an entirely new portfolio in Q3 2025, with all eight reported positions being fresh additions — suggesting a complete repositioning from the prior period. The largest new holding by far was Palantir Technologies (PLTR) at approximately $912 million, followed by Nvidia (NVDA) at roughly $187 million, marking notable entries into two of the most prominent AI-linked equities. The remaining positions spanned a range of sectors, including healthcare via Pfizer (PFE) and Molina Healthcare (MOH), energy services through Halliburton (HAL), consumer discretionary via Lululemon (LULU), and smaller stakes in SLM Corp and Bruker Corp. The overall portfolio reflected a broad diversification across industries, with the PLTR position alone accounting for the majority of total disclosed value. Because 13F filings are delayed by up to 45 days, this should not be treated as real-time investment advice. Always do your own research.

Opening a new position can suggest the manager sees value or a thesis worth committing capital to. It does not necessarily mean they are bullish on the broader market — concentrated managers add positions infrequently while quants may rotate constantly.

Fully exiting a position can suggest that the manager's thesis has played out, was wrong, or that capital is being redeployed elsewhere. It does not mean the company is broken — exits are often as much about portfolio fit as about the security itself.
