Of late, Micheal Burry has been skeptical on the developments in the technology sector. Recently, Burry disclosed short positions in Oracle (ORCL) and Nebius Group (NBIS) citing “rising leverage risks linked to off-balance-sheet commitments across the technology and cloud sectors.”
Further, Burry also critiqued Nvidia Corporation’s (NVDA) $500 billion infrastructure financing deal and “complex web of private credit and asset-backed securities” that preceded the financial crisis of 2008-09.

Under this deal, the likes of Apollo (APO), BlackRock (BLK), Blackstone (BX), Brookfield (BN), Goldman Sachs (GS), and KKR & Co. (KKR), will be mobilizing over “$500 billion of third-party capital for the buildout of AI infrastructure over time.” This financing platform will help customers “access scarce compute at scale and build the DSX AI factories” and Nvidia will be acting as a marketplace. This move is likely to provide incremental capital infusion into the full-stack AI infrastructure.
Amidst the criticism of this deal, an important point to note is that the current AI boom is different from the dotcom bubble. As Goldman Sachs points out, “corporate profit margins have climbed rather than eroded.”
Further, AI infrastructure spending is significant, but the technology sector has robust cash flows and a strong balance sheet. Nvidia, as a full-stack AI infrastructure company, is therefore well positioned to grow and create value.
