- Michael Burry recommends Samsung Electronics as a long-term compounder, suggesting investors buy it when it trades at tangible book value. This 'buy and hold forever' strategy, based on net asset value, implies a bullish outlook on Samsung's fundamental strength and potential for sustained growth, potentially influencing investor sentiment towards value stocks and large-cap tech.

Burry said that Samsung Electronics is among those stocks that are backed by businesses so good that the time to buy is defined by a simple, recurring rule.
'Samsung Electronics is the belle of the ball these days. Just last year, however, it traded extensively at tangible book value. When Samsung Electronics stock hits tangible book value per share, buy it. Period. No more analysis needed,' he wrote.
For investors who wouldn't blindly follow Burry's signal, he urged them to 'do the analysis once,' and 'then just buy it at net asset value' for the rest of your life. He revealed buying into the stock in early 2025 when the stock was trading at or near tangible book value.
