Michael Burry Warns Nvidia Faces Financial Risk
8.1
Investor Michael Burry warned Thursday that Nvidia's annual report shows purchase obligations rose roughly six-fold to $95 billion, creating what he calls a risky supply-chain position. He said TSMC-driven longer contracts and cash commitments pushed Nvidia's total supply obligations to about $117 billion, nearly matching operating cash flow for the year ended Jan. 25. Burry warned a demand downturn could severely hurt Nvidia's earnings and balance sheet.
