Cathie Wood Cuts AMD Again, Adds Rocket Lab Faizan Farooque Wed, August 19, 2026 at 2:59 PM EDT 1 min read AMD This article first appeared on GuruFocus . Cathie Wood's ARK Invest sold off chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices Inc. ( AMD , Financials ) again as the firm moved more into Rocket Lab . Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with AMD. Is AMD fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. On Aug. 18, ARK sold 3,679 AMD shares for about $1.86 million, a second day of sales. It also purchased 160,890 shares of Rocket Lab for about $13.21 million. That contrast is stark given AMD is up over 136% this year, while Rocket Lab is up around 18%. ARK's move doesn't so much look like a rejection of AMD as it does a rotation following a massive run. Rocket Lab also has new catalysts. The company recently won new U.S. Space Force work and continues to expand in both launch services and satellite systems. Wall Street is still bullish on both names but Rocket Lab has a higher implied upside at the moment. ARK sees more room for investors to run at trade shows after a volatile stretch for growth stocks.

ARK Invest, led by Cathie Wood, sold 3,679 shares of AMD for about $1.86 million and bought 160,890 shares of Rocket Lab for about $13.21 million. This appears to be a profit-taking move on AMD, which has surged over 136% this year, while rotating capital into Rocket Lab, which benefits from recent positive catalysts such as a U.S. Space Force contract. Wall Street remains positive on both stocks while evaluating Rocket Lab's upside potential even higher.
상승 영향
- Aerospace — ARK Invest newly purchased 160,890 shares worth $13.21 million, and substantive business catalysts such as the U.S. Space Force contract strengthen upward momentum.
하락 영향
- Semiconductors — Major institution ARK Invest sold AMD shares for two consecutive days (approx. $1.86 million) to take profits, increasing short-term supply-demand pressure and downward pressure.
DYAX 전담 분석
ARK Invest's portfolio adjustment strongly reflects asset rotation, realizing gains in the short-term surging semiconductor sector and moving funds to a stock with new momentum in the aerospace sector. For AMD, GuruFocus warning signals and a cumulative gain of up to 136% acted as a burden, whereas for Rocket Lab, clear order momentum such as the U.S. Space Force contract drove buying.
Future upside potential for semiconductor stock prices and the visibility of Rocket Lab's earnings are key points to watch. In a bullish scenario, policy benefits in the aerospace sector could continue to accelerate Rocket Lab's stock price rise, while in a bearish scenario, increased volatility across high-growth stocks could act as downward pressure on both stocks, requiring caution.
