In a Substack post from April, Michael Burry said he initiated a new position in PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL), amounting to 3.5% of his portfolio. Per the legendary investor, the stock was one of his favorites in the software payments sector. In the note, Burry also called the recent software sell-off a “reflexive positive feedback loop,” due to declining software stock prices and changing market demand for their debt, which, according to him, reflected pressure in private credit, which had a lot of exposure to software. He also underlined that believed that these conditions would not last long for the sector.
