Performance View
Although the 13F report does not disclose the exact date of purchase, we can estimate that Burry's stock choices have yielded a positive return of around 10% in Q1. During this period, he has rotated the portfolio with a quarterly turnover rate of 54%.
Specifically, Alibaba has performed exceptionally well, recording an 18 percent gain in the last three months.
Despite the recent gains, InvestingPro's Fair Value, based on14 investment models, estimates Alibaba's value at $119.03, which is 34.9% higher than its current price. 
InvestingPro subscribers have been able to track the development of analysts' forecasts, which remain bullish on the stock with a target price of $105.90. Both analysts and the Fair Value estimate agree on the stock's potential for growth.
Additionally, Alibaba's risk profile is favorable, boasting a good level of financial health with a score of 3 out of 5.
All that remains is to wait for the next few months to see if Burry has been right again compared to the major fund managers in this early part of the year.
