Scion Asset Management bearish/short report: PLTR — $100 invested in Michael Burry's biggest short position of 2026 is now worthMichael Burry 看空/做空：PLTR — $100 invested in Michael Burry's biggest short position of 2026 is now worth
English Version
On August 6, 2026, financial publisher Finbold issued a report stating that Scion Asset Management, led by prominent short seller Michael Burry, holds its largest 2026 short position in Palantir Technologies (ticker: PLTR), with the report noting a hypothetical $100 initial investment in the position now has a reported valuation. This signal draws market attention due to Burry’s track record of successful contrarian bearish bets that have previously sparked widespread investor focus.
For contextual reference, Palantir released its Q2 2026 earnings on August 3, 2026, posting adjusted EPS of $0.41 above the consensus estimate of $0.3446, and revenue of $1.935 billion exceeding the projected $1.812 billion. The most recent 13F filing, as of December 31, 2025, shows 3,212 institutional holders owning 55.8% of PLTR’s float, but 13F filings only disclose quarter-end long and certain option positions, and do not capture intraperiod short position changes disclosed in this report. During July 2026, multiple PLTR officers and directors disclosed share sales via SEC Form 4 filings, including executive Sankar Shyam selling a combined 185,000 shares and director Alexander D. Moore making multiple share disposals.
This signal does not confirm: 1) that the $100 initial investment valuation is officially verified data; 2) that Scion Asset Management’s short position has been disclosed via official SEC filings; 3) the exact size or current precise market value of the position. Follow-up markers include reviewing SEC filings submitted by Scion related to PLTR (such as Form 4, 13F amendments, or Schedule 13D/G) or PLTR’s monthly short interest data to validate the reported short position.

2026年8月6日，财经出版商Finbold发布报告称，由知名做空投资者迈克尔·伯里（Michael Burry）管理的Scion Asset Management，当前持有的2026年最大空头头寸标的为Palantir Technologies（股票代码：PLTR），报告提及初始投资100美元的该头寸当前已有对应估值。这一信号引发市场关注，因伯里过往成功的逆向做空押注曾引发广泛市场反应。
作为对照参考，Palantir于2026年8月3日发布2026年第二季度财报，每股收益（EPS）0.41美元，超出市场预期的0.3446美元；营收19.35亿美元，同样高于市场预期的18.12亿美元。截至2025年12月31日的最新13F文件显示，PLTR的机构持仓占流通股比例为55.8%，共3212家机构持有者，但13F仅披露季度末的多头及部分期权头寸，无法反映本次报告提及的本期内空头持仓变动。2026年7月期间，PLTR多名高管及董事通过SEC Form 4文件披露股份减持操作，包括高管Sankar Shyam出售合计18.5万股股票，董事Alexander D. Moore多次减持股份。
该信号未证实以下内容：1. 100美元初始头寸的估值为官方确认数据；2. Scion Asset Management的该空头头寸已通过SEC官方文件披露；3. 该头寸的具体规模或当前精确市值。后续关注重点为Scion针对PLTR提交的SEC备案文件（如Form 4、13F修正案、13D/G文件），或PLTR的月度空头利息数据，以验证报告中的空头持仓信息。
