Retail Traders Dump Big Tech for SpaceX IPO as Semiconductor Buying Cools After 2026 Rally

Summary
Retail traders are cutting Big Tech and semiconductor positions and largely sitting out recent dip-buying, according to Vanda Research data.
The pullback is being read by some analysts as cash-raising ahead of a potential SpaceX initial public offering, with traders building "dry powder" for the listing.
AI-linked memory and storage stocks had been a favorite retail trade, so the shift suggests enthusiasm is rotating away from recent winners rather than broad risk appetite collapsing.
A SpaceX IPO would give retail investors a rare chance to buy into one of the market's most anticipated private companies, helping explain the repositioning.
