Just like the SpaceX IPO sucked the life out of airline stocks, semiconductors won't recover anytime soon—once these recover, everything else will too.

Just like the SpaceX IPO sucked the life out of airline stocks, semiconductors won't recover anytime soon—once these recover, everything else will too.

The comparison between the SpaceX IPO and airline stocks is an interesting angle, but semiconductors and airlines differ quite a bit in capital structure and customer concentration. If this is just a short-term liquidity drain, then once the IPO pricing settles and capital flows back, the pace could be faster than you expect.
What signal exactly does "once this is done" refer to? Is it waiting for the first-day IPO performance, or waiting for the lock-up period to end?
I have my reservations—capital rotation doesn't necessarily move in just one direction. Rather than trying to guess which sectors will rotate next, it's better to first keep an eye on changes in trading volume and the relative strength of a few leading stocks before making a judgment.
If you really want to follow this logic, the prerequisite is that you first confirm the blood draw is a one-off phase rather than continuous repricing. I suggest tracking the subsequent fundraising size, lock-up expiration timing, and capital flow data as well—don't lock in your conclusion too firmly before the information is updated.
From a different angle, this looks more like short-term sentiment and position rebalancing than a change in semiconductor fundamentals.
When you say "siphoning," do you mean capital diversion or valuation squeeze? These two transmission paths actually affect semiconductors on somewhat different timelines, so I'd like to confirm which one you lean toward.
