Episode Synopsis
Burry Calls Out Big Tech Depreciation 11/14/25
Key Stories:
The head of Scion Asset Management, Michael Burry, famously known for his “Big Short” bet against the 2008 housing market, is shining a spotlight on what he suggests is artificial earnings padding by major tech companies. Burry recently raised concerns that tech behemoths like Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, and Alphabet, Google’s parent company, are extending depreciation schedules for their computing gear. This practice, he argues, allows them to inflate their reported earnings growth. Despite this criticism, the four biggest spenders on artificial intelligence infrastructure—Meta, Alphabet, Amazon.com, the e-commerce giant, and Microsoft, the software giant—have all seen their shares perform well and remain in the green this year. This highlights a fascinating tension between accounting practices and market performance, suggesting investors are currently prioritizing AI investment and growth over Burry’s accounting critiques.
