Cathie Wood Dumps AMD and Expands Stake in AI Chip Firm Cerebras
Yahoo Finance ·
Ark Invest, led by Cathie Wood, has reallocated its portfolio by shedding shares of Advanced Micro Devices while increasing its position in Cerebras Systems. The firm acquired 93,290 shares of Cerebras for approximately $17.2 million, contrasting with the sale of 7,600 shares of Advanced Micro Devices valued at nearly $3.5 million. Although Cerebras is smaller than industry giants like AMD and Nvidia, it is carving out a distinct niche in AI inference. The company recently unveiled its CS-4 system, designed to deliver over 4,400 tokens per second per user, and analysts suggest Meta could emerge as a customer later this year. Wall Street maintains a strong buy consensus with an average price target of $296, implying a potential upside of around 61%. Despite the stock trading significantly lower since its May IPO, Wood's latest transactions signal that she views the current weakness as an attractive entry point rather than a red flag.

DYAX 전담 분석
This move to reduce stake in major AI chip powerhouse AMD and heavily purchase new AI chip firm Cerebras reflects a shift in investment strategy to target niche markets within the high-growth AI inference sector. Notably, as the possibility of Meta joining as a customer is discussed, earnings visibility in the small and mid-sized AI chip ecosystem is increasing.
The bullish scenario is that the stock surges to the target price of $296 through securing major big tech customers like Meta and proving the performance of the CS-4 system. On the other hand, the bearish scenario is that the downward trend following the IPO in May continues and earnings volatility of the startup is highlighted, with key metrics being the successful conclusion of major customer contracts and earnings announcements.
