캐시 우드(ARK)가 AI 관련 조정 시 SpaceX(SPCX), 엔비디아, 코어위브를 매수했다고 설명. SpaceX는 실적 후 13% 하락 시 약 1,970만 달러 자사주 매입 흐름, 엔비디아는 약 1,760만 달러 매수, 코어위브는 약세 시 반복 매수. 긍정적 장기 논리를 제시하면서도 자본지출·현금흐름 악화와 규제 리스크를 언급. 전반적으로 AI 인프라 조정을 매수 기회로 해석하는 내용.

Katie Wood went shopping again, and she did it in classic Ark style. As the broader market becomes increasingly selective and cautious about AI valuations, capital intensity, and short-term returns, Wood’s funds are aggressively buying shares of a company that she believes will define the next decade of AI and disruptive technology infrastructure .
In the early days of August 2026, as AI-related stocks continued to fluctuate wildly following mixed earnings reports and concerns about capital spending, Ark Invest invested significant capital in three platforms they are betting heavily on and that are at the heart of computing, networking, and AI infrastructure.
This is not a random activity . This is the same pattern of behavior that Wood has followed for years. When short-term fear creates better entry points into long-term breakout stories, she acts decisively. The three names that saw the most buying after the sell-off were SpaceX, Nvidia, and CoreWeave.
Each represents a different level of AI capability: space infrastructure and computing, fundamental chip level, and specialized cloud power for AI, and each has been accumulating on the decline. Here's a deeper look at why these three companies are important right now. First stock, SpaceX, ticker SPCX: SpaceX quickly became one of the largest and most actively managed ARK positions in many funds after the company's first public quarterly results triggered a sharp sell-off.
Shares fell more than 13% in a single session as investors focused on high capital expenditures and revenue trends. Wood's team intervened, acting on a grand scale. In just one day, approximately $19.7 million worth of shares were repurchased through the ARK, ARKQ, ARKW, and ARKX funds. Such a coordinated buyback after the painful reaction to the earnings report is a clear signal of conviction.
According to ARK's thesis, SpaceX is much more than just a rocket company. It is building the physical and digital infrastructure layer for a new era of connectivity and, potentially, orbital computing. Starlink continues to scale its global satellite constellation, generating regular revenue from consumer, corporate and government customers.
The reusable platform remains a structural cost advantage that no traditional aerospace competitor has been able to replicate at this scale, and the company has publicly committed to using NVIDIA GPUs for its ambitions to put data centers in space, directly linking SpaceX's future to the broader AI infrastructure boom.
The financial picture is still in its early stages and requires significant capital. Recent earnings reports have highlighted the reality that heavy investments in next- generation systems, group expansion, and new AI-related projects will put pressure on free cash flow in the near term. That's why the stock price fell so much .
The risks are real and significant. The complexity of completing the tasks is very high. Regulatory and geopolitical issues related to satellite spectrum and national security remain relevant. Profitability in new segments of AI and orbital computing will not appear soon. But the asymmetric growth potential that Arc sees is no less obvious.
If SpaceX successfully turns Starlink into a dominant global network and begins to monetize space computing, the long-term value creation could be colossal. The recent sell-off in the Wood structure was no reason to back down. It was an invitation to buy more. Stock 2, Nvidia, ticker NVDA, strengthening the foundation .
On the same day that SpaceX shares came under pressure, ARK made a counter move and purchased approximately $17.6 million worth of Nvidia shares for several of its funds. The timing was deliberate. SpaceX's confirmation that the company will rely exclusively on NVIDIA chips for its planned space data centers was yet another reminder of how central NVIDIA remains to nearly every major AI initiative, terrestrial or otherwise.
NVIDIA continues to dominate the accelerated computing market that powers modern AI. Recent quarterly results have shown a steady explosive growth in data center revenue, with much of it still driven by demand for AI training and inference. The company's end-to-end approach—graphics processors, networking, software, and systems—has created a powerful ecosystem moat that competitors are struggling to bridge at scale.
Each new use case, from agent-based AI to sovereign AI projects and potential orbital computing, further expands the overall market size. Wood's decision to significantly increase its position after periods of relative weakness reflects ARK's long-standing belief that Nvidia is the basic infrastructure layer of the AI era.
Although the stock has already delivered historic returns and is trading at a premium, any significant pullback or pause in the upward trajectory is seen as an opportunity to increase stakes. SpaceX's recent commitments only reinforced the thesis that Nvidia's technologies will be needed wherever large-scale AI computing is deployed.
Stock three , Coreweave, ticker CRWV, a highly specialized AI cloud lever. Coreweave has been one of Arc Capital's most consistent investments whenever AI infrastructure assets have fallen in value in 2026. This specialized AI cloud provider, focused on GPU power for training and workloads, has been regularly purchased by ARK funds during market weakness, even as overall sentiment toward neo-cloud valuations has become more cautious.
Coreweave has a clear position in the AI value chain. The company doesn't design chips, but it packages scarce high-performance GPU power and provides it as a service to AI labs, enterprises, and developers who need flexible, high-density computing. Whenever the stock came under pressure—whether from concerns about AI valuations, competitive headlines, or worries about capital spending— Wood's team used the weakness to add to its share price.
This pattern of buying during a decline in the shares of highly profitable AI infrastructure companies is a classic ARK strategy. The firm sees Coreweave as an effective tool to address the long-standing shortage of computing power for AI without owning the chip developers themselves. Katie Wood's recent post- sale purchases have a clear and consistent logic.
When the market focuses on capex , weak forecasts, or valuation, ARK ignores the noise and accumulates platforms they believe will grow for years. SpaceX offers a unique combination of launch economics, global connectivity, and potential orbital AI computing. NVIDIA remains a major supplier of chips and systems, with technology at the heart of nearly every major AI initiative.
Coreweave provides a clean entry into the market for specialized AI cloud capacity , which continues to be in short supply. These are positions with high certainty and high volatility. They are not suitable for all investors, and ARK's own funds have experienced significant fluctuations and periods of underperformance.
Position size selection and a multi-year planning horizon are important. But the message of the latest agreements is quite clear. The recent weakness in AI infrastructure and related companies was seen as an opportunity, not a reason to retreat. Keep an eye on how these positions develop in the coming weeks and months, especially news from SpaceX, Nvidia's next product and revenue cycles, and Coreweave's successes.
In a market that has become more selective and demanding of results, managers who buy quality assets on drawdowns often become owners of the best long-term winners. Be disciplined. Do your own research. And remember, the most powerful opportunities often emerge when short-term sentiment turns cautious, while the long-term thesis of market transformation remains valid.
