Cathie Wood's Ark Invest Sold $11.8 Million of AMD Stock on a Single Day Last Month. Should Other Investors Also Sell?
The article is an opinion piece about AMD after Ark Invest sold $11.8 million of shares in a single day and $68.1 million during July. It argues the sale is more likely portfolio management and profit-taking after AMD’s strong run than a warning on fundamentals. AMD has delivered about 180% returns over the past year, but its valuation is now elevated, with cited P/E levels of 160 and about 65 forward P/E. Despite the trimming, AMD remains Ark Invest’s second-largest holding, suggesting continued long-term conviction. The piece highlights AMD’s AI growth story, including 6th Gen EPYC CPUs, MI400 GPUs, Helios rack solutions, a $2 trillion addressable market by 2030, and partnerships with OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta Platforms, and Cisco Systems. Overall, the market takeaway is cautious near-term sentiment due to valuation and a trading range since May, but a constructive long-term outlook remains intact.
