ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood backs a $1.75 trillion SpaceX valuation, signaling a bet on the company’s role in a future space economy ahead of an expected June NASDAQ IPO that could raise about $75 billion. The rationale centers on Starlink’s revenue growth, reduced launch costs from reusable rockets, and SpaceX’s push into AI and orbital services, with potential spillovers for Tesla and the broader tech market.
Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest tilted into Palantir (PLTR) while trimming Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), buying about 85,485 PLTR shares (~$11.15M) as Palantir posted strong results and raised its 2026 revenue guidance, and AMD posted solid numbers but remained a smaller bet for ARK. Analysts see Palantir's upside (~52%) well ahead of AMD (~16%), with Palantir’s Q1 FY26 results due May 11 and AMD earnings due May 5.

ARK also bought 252,169 shares of Kratos Defense & Security Solutions while trimming exposure to Teradyne and Rocket Lab. Wall Street assigns CRWV a Moderate Buy with a price target around $114, implying ~43% upside; the moves reflect a long‑term AI compute growth thesis rather than near‑term earnings concerns.

Cathie Wood's Ark Invest increased its stakes in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC), Oklo, and Pony AI on the last trading day before the holiday weekend, signaling ongoing appetite for AI/tech growth.

Cathie Wood’s Ark Investment suggests Bitcoin could soar about 1,159% to roughly $1.2 million per coin by 2030, driven by the growth of spot ETFs, heightened use in emerging markets, and Bitcoin’s ‘digital gold’ appeal, though Ark has trimmed its forecast due to stablecoins. Bitcoin’s market cap stands around $1.9 trillion, and the asset faced a down year in 2025, highlighting considerable upside but ongoing volatility and debate over its role versus traditional gold.
Cathie Wood trimmed Palantir shares and bought Archer Aviation, signaling a shift from Palantir's AI software growth to Archer's early-stage eVTOL potential.

Archer is progressing toward Midnight certification, expanding partnerships (Stellantis, United Airlines, Anduril) and leveraging a cash-rich balance sheet, with Dayal (HC Wainwright) naming it a Buy and a high 12-month target.
