Why Ark Invest Likes SpaceX
SpaceX operates across four major sectors: space exploration, AI technology, satellite communications, and social media (X). While its Starlink connectivity unit reported an operating profit of $4.4 billion last year, the AI sector faced a significant loss of nearly $6.4 billion. Observers note that the mixed performance of these businesses may present risks for investors.
