Michael Burry adds JD.com, BYD and Sprouts options, according to his latest Substack post.
Michael Burry added to his JD.com Inc. (NASDAQ:JD) 2029 call options and bought more shares of BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:BYDFF), according to a Monday Substack post.
Both stocks have been dead money since the Hang Seng Index peaked in 2021, a slump Burry compares to the Great Depression.
Burry says JD holds $24.3 billion in net cash, about 71% of its market cap, leaving its operating business valued at roughly 3x owners’ earnings.
JD is a large position for Burry, while BYD is mid-sized. Burry also added on Friday to his Sprouts Farmers Market Inc. (NASDAQ:SFM) 2028 LEAP calls, struck in the low $100s.
Sprouts Farmers Market and Other Investments
- Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. (NASDAQ:SFM) is another focus for Burry, who added to his 2028 LEAP calls struck in the low $100s. This move comes after Sprouts reported earnings last Wednesday.
- In a Thursday note, Burry expressed optimism about Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc. (NYSE:BBW), calling it undervalued at $25 despite challenges like weak sales and tariffs.
- On Wednesday, Burry criticized Anthropic’s IPO filing for masking over $537 billion in compute commitments amid slowing growth.
