<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Since shorting Nvidia late last year, Burry has become one of the loudest critics of the AI-driven rally in chip and AI stocks.</li><li>Nvidia is overly reliant on a handful of customers, the investor said.</li><li>NVDA stock declined 4.3% last week, even as the retail sentiment moved higher to ‘extremely bullish.’</li></ul>“The Big Short” investor Michael Burry issued another warning on Nvidia and the broader AI trade on Saturday, arguing that the current surge in AI demand is only “temporary.”&nbsp;He said Nvidia has committed billions of dollars toward capacity expansion to meet hyperscaler demand, while those same hyperscalers have piled on massive debt to finance aggressive data-center buildouts — a combination Burry believes creates significant risks across the market.Since taking a short position in Nvidia late last year, Burry has been one of the most vocal skeptics of the market euphoria surrounding AI and the resulting rally in chipmakers and other AI-linked stocks.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Burry Details NVDA Risks&nbsp;</h2>In a new&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://substack.com/@michaeljburry/p-198907270">Substack post</a>, he argued that the current AI-linked demand is driven by a temporary phase of benchmarking, trace-harvesting, and "tokenmaxxing," which refers to the practice of companies forcing employees to exhaustively use tokens to train models through unpaid prompt labor. This demand is being counted as permanent when it is actually a passing trend, Burry believes.Nvidia is overly reliant “on a concentrated set of buyers whose demand is being distorted by a training phase that will not last,” Burry said, pointing out that if Microsoft were to cut its capital expenditure on Nvidia chips by just 20%, it would result in a massive 4.2% hit to Nvidia's total revenue.He also flagged what is likely front-loading. For the first time, Microsoft’s percentage of Nvidia’s accounts receivable rose significantly even as its percentage of Nvidia’s total revenue fell. This suggests Microsoft may be pulling forward inventory it doesn't need, or Nvidia is pushing inventory forward to artificially boost quarterly numbers, Burry argued.The customer concentration risk is exacerbated by Nvidia’s expansion of its supply chain to meet elevated demand. Burry noted that Nvidia has committed $119 billion to custom, non-cancellable lines at TSMC.&nbsp;The company’s total forward non-cancellable commitments were $182 billion – an amount that exceeds Nvidia’s annual operating cash flow, creating severe financial vulnerability if demand drops, Burry said.Add to the blog post, Moody’s found that the five major hyperscalers – Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Oracle – together have $662 billion off-balance sheet commitments, which Burry said will “become very real in a correlation event and create strong motivation to walk away from data centers en masse.”<h2 class="st-heading-2">NVDA Stock Move, Retail View</h2>Last week, Nvidia reported&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/nvda-stock-turns-green-in-premarket-sustained-ai-demand-cpu-push-secure-component-supply-lift-sentiment/cZXzzXKReFi">blowout quarterly results</a>, announced an $80 billion share buyback, and raised its dividend — moves that signaled strong financial health and underscored robust demand for AI chips.Yet, for a variety of reasons, the stock barely moved higher. Nvidia has notably underperformed several of its chip peers in recent months, fueling both curiosity and frustration among investors.On Stocktwits, the retail sentiment for NVDA has been climbing since the start of last week and was ‘extremely bullish’ as of late Monday.Year to date,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/NVDA">NVDA shares</a> have added 15.5%, compared to the 78.5% gains in the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SOXX">iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX)</a> and 9.2% gains in the benchmark S&amp;P 500 Index (SPX).For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/why-nvts-stock-is-extending-its-breakout-rally-from-last-week/cZgaoR7RepB">Why NVTS Stock Is Extending Its Breakout Rally From Last Week</a>&nbsp;

PCSK9 is a protein that interferes with the liver's ability to clear LDL from the bloodstream; by blocking it, the treatment aims to reduce cholesterol levels durably with a single dose.In an interim analysis of 35 participants, the results were notable. PCSK9 protein levels fell by 51% to 88% across dose levels, and LDL cholesterol dropped by up to 62% at the highest dose, with reductions lasting up to 18 months after a single treatment. The trial focused on two high-risk patient groups: people with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, an inherited condition causing dangerously elevated cholesterol from birth, and those with premature coronary artery disease.<h1 class="st-heading-1">Lilly Rides Obesity Drug Wave With Mounjaro</h1>Lilly is also riding the fastest-growing pharmaceutical category in history.

The firm is modeling a retatrutide launch in 2027, with 2030 sales of $4.9 billion and 2034 sales of $11.0 billion, assigning a 70% probability of success.

The Luce becomes Ferrari’s first production vehicle with a five-seat layout and four doors. The model features a large glass-heavy body design, oversized wheels and a fully electric powertrain powered by four independent motors.The Luce is part of Ferrari’s long-term plan to offer different types of vehicles, first outlined in 2022. The company sought to allay performance fears, saying that electrification will complement, rather than replace, Ferrari’s traditional combustion-powered models.Ferrari said the vehicle can accelerate from zero to 100 km per hour in 2.5 seconds and delivers more than 1,000 horsepower equivalent. The new attempt did not resonate well with investors who viewed the launch as a sharp break from Ferrari’s traditional focus on lightweight, combustion-engine sports cars known for mechanical sound and exclusivity.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">RACE Deliveries Slow&nbsp;</h2>Ferrari reported lower vehicle shipments during the fiscal first quarter, with deliveries declining 4.4% year-on-year to 3,436 units.&nbsp;Even so, the company maintained strong profitability. Ferrari’s EBITDA margin remained above 39%, helped by demand for personalized vehicle features and higher-priced limited-production models.Investors are also worried that possible new U.S. tariffs on European car imports could raise costs for Ferrari in North America, one of its biggest markets. This could lead Ferrari to either raise car prices or absorb some of the extra costs, which could hurt profit margins.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">RACE Retail Traders View</h2>On Stocktwits, though retail traders cast doubt on the new model's success, sentiment around the stock shifted from ‘bullish’ to ‘neutral’ the previous day, with a 1,500% surge in message volume.&nbsp;A user said, “This is a disgrace to the brand.
