The &#8220;Big Short&#8221; investor said in a Wednesday Substack post that a &#8220;reflexive positive feedback loop&#8221; between falling equity prices and stress in bank debt tied to software companies helped accelerate their declines, creating what he sees now as a buying opportunity. &#8220;I do not believe the technical pressures brought on by the private credit\/software debt issues are big enough to affect these stocks for much longer,&#8221; he wrote. The move back into the stocks comes as fears mount that artificial intelligence could upend large portions of the software industry, challenging business models and long-held growth assumptions. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF , for example, has slumped about 28% from its September peak, pushing the group into a bear market and highlighting how quickly sentiment has soured on what had been one of Wall Street&#8217;s favorite sectors. IGV 1Y mountain iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF one year Burry disclosed he opened a roughly 3.5% position in PayPal, while maintaining holdings in Fiserv , Adobe , Autodesk and Veeva Systems . He said he planned to add positions in Salesforce and MSCI early Thursday. None of these companies rely on private credit markets, Burry said. Retail investors have been pulling money from a group of private credit funds for the past couple months, and many of the loans were tied to software companies. &#8220;I do see several handfuls of companies seriously affected by advanced [large language models] for specific reasons of the business models,&#8221; Burry said. &#8220;I do not see this for my selected companies and a good number of others, all of which I have just about finished analyzing forensically, competitively, and fundamentally as to investment potential.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><span class=\"HighlightShare-hidden\" style=\"top:0;left:0\"><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/04\/16\/burry-buys-the-dip-in-salesforce-and-other-software-stocks-after-sell-off.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Famed investor Michael Burry is wading back into beaten-down software stocks, betting the recent sell-off was driven more by technical factors than deteriorating business fundamentals.
