Michael Burry's Scion Asset Management has taken a significant position in PayPal Holdings, Inc. (PYPL), accounting for roughly 3.5% of its portfolio. The move comes as Burry targets beaten-down software stocks, asserting that recent declines stem from technical market mechanics rather than weak fundamentals.

Burry identifies a 'reflexive positive feedback loop' where falling equity prices exacerbate stress in bank debt tied to software firms, further depressing valuations. He contends this dynamic is nearing exhaustion, creating buying opportunities in quality names.

PayPal shares rose 2.5% Friday amid speculation of potential activist investor interest. SG Americas' activity suggests the payments giant could become a target for shareholder campaigns.
