Cathie Wood's Ark Innovation ETF has been selling AMD and buying SpaceX, but analyst Geoffrey Seiler argues this is the wrong move. SpaceX trades at extreme valuations (P/S ratio over 85x) with significant technological hurdles ahead and upcoming share dilution from lock-up expirations. AMD, meanwhile, is positioned to benefit from powerful trends in AI inference and agentic AI, with secured GPU deals and strong CPU demand driving near-term growth.

SpaceX Stock Keeps Dropping. Here's Why I'm Still Waiting on the Sidelines

SpaceX stock has declined from its $225 peak to around $118 following its June IPO, but analyst Catie Hogan remains on the sidelines due to inflated valuation. Despite a $1 trillion market cap reduction, the company trades at approximately 85 times sales with a $1.6 trillion valuation against less than $19 billion in revenue.
