ARK Updates | Cathie Wood sells another $88m in Tesla day after piling up stake in Chinese EV rival

Benzinga Real-time News ·  Dec 16, 2021 07:32  · ETF

Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest on Wednesday sold 90,455 shares — estimated to be worth $88.3 million — in $Tesla(TSLA.US)$, booking profit in the stock as it rose after days of losses.

The stock pared earlier losses to close 1.82% higher at $975.99 a share on Wednesday. The Elon Musk-led company's shares are up about 34% so far this year and down about 7.5% over the past month.

Ark Invest sold the shares via the $ARK Innovation ETF(ARKK.US)$, the $ARK Autonomous Technology & Robotics ETF(ARKQ.US)$ and the $ARK Next Generation Internet ETF(ARKW.US)$ on Wednesday.

Tesla's weight in ARKK and ARKW had already slipped below the 10% threshold at 8.14% and 9.35%, respectively, ahead of Wednesday's trade. In ARKQ, it constituted 10.59% of the portfolio.

The three ETFs held 1.99 million shares — worth $1.91 billion — in Tesla, ahead of Wednesday's trade. 

Ark Invest has been booking profit in Tesla since September — selling over $3 billion worth of shares — after years of piling up shares in the electric vehicle company at far lower levels. 

Tesla continues to be the firm's biggest bet across ETFs — a stock it predicts would hit the $3,000 mark by the end of 2025. 

Wood favors the automotive industry's switch to electric vehicles and earlier this month started buying shares in the U.S. listed Chinese electric automaker $XPeng(XPEV.US)$

Here are the other key trades on Wednesday:

  • Bought 104,489 shares — estimated to be worth $21.3 million — in $Roku Inc(ROKU.US)$ on the dip. The stock closed 7.95% lower at $203.94 a share on Wednesday.

  • Bought 705,660 shares — estimated to be worth $13.7 million — in $Robinhood(HOOD.US)$. The stock closed 1.93% higher at $19.50 a share.

    You're not moving fast enough. Not getting it, I'm really going to show you how far behind the 8 ball you really are. You have to come up with something else.
    In the meantime wipe your ass. I'm out bye.
