Cathie Wood Buys SpaceX and CoreWeave After 30% Slides in 1 Month

3 articles · Updated · The Motley Fool · Jul 20

Summary

  • July 17 purchases added more SpaceX and CoreWeave shares across several Ark funds, extending Wood’s recent buying spree in beaten-down AI and tech names.
  • More than 30% monthly declines appear to be the trigger: SpaceX closed at $123.99, below its $135 IPO price, while broader worries about heavy AI spending have pressured the sector.
  • SpaceX was added to Ark Innovation, Autonomous Technology and Robotics, Next Generation Internet, and Space and Defense Innovation; CoreWeave was bought for Ark Innovation and Next Generation Internet.
  • Both companies fit Wood’s long-term disruptive-tech strategy but remain unprofitable and risky, with SpaceX tied to ambitious projects such as space-based data centers and CoreWeave focused on renting Nvidia GPU capacity for AI workloads.
