SpaceX Beat Expectations... So Why Are AI Stocks Falling? Despite sky-high expectations, SpaceX delivered a stronger-than-expected Q2, reporting approximately $7.8 billion in revenue (+92% YoY) and around $3.5 billion in EBITDA, fueled by continued strength in Starlink, launch services, and AI-related businesses. Yet the market focused on a different story: an estimated $18.4 billion in capital expenditures, raising fresh concerns about cash flow and the long-term returns on massive AI investments. The reaction quickly spread beyond SpaceX. The broader AI semiconductor and memory sector also came under pressure after $SKHYNIX posted record profits but still failed to fully satisfy Wall Street's lofty expectations. Investors are increasingly questioning whether the AI investment cycle is entering a phase of slower earnings growth rather than explosive expansion. That helps explain why $SNDK and $SKHYNIX have recently shown signs of weakening. The issue isn't fading AI demand—it's that expectations have become extraordinarily high. When companies fail to outperform by a wide enough margin, profit-taking can emerge rapidly. At the same time, soaring AI spending across the tech industry is fueling concerns over future profitability, weighing on memory stocks. From a long-term perspective, the AI growth story remains firmly intact. In the short term, however, the market is shifting from pricing in expectations to pricing in execution. Until companies prove that earnings can justify their massive AI investments, memory leaders such as $SNDK and $SKHYNIX may continue to experience elevated volatility. #SpaceXBeatEstimates #SP500Hits7700 #SandiskEarningsWatch $SNDK $SKHYNIX
