Hedge Funds Dumped Big Tech Ahead of SpaceX's $1.77 Trillion IPO

3 articles · Updated · Reuters · Jun 12

Summary

  • JPMorgan data showed hedge funds sold the biggest U.S. tech stocks late last week, with some adding bearish bets just before SpaceX's Friday market debut.
  • The retreat hit the Magnificent Seven as investors cut risk and cleared room for the IPO; the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF has fallen more than 2.4% since June 5.
  • Selling was broadest in U.S. software, while semiconductor shares still drew strong demand and some speculators bought the dip in beaten-down tech names.
  • Money also rotated into financial-themed ETFs, with funds favoring traditional asset managers; SpaceX is seeking a $1.77 trillion valuation despite a $4.94 billion net loss in 2025.
