Cathie Wood's Ark Investment Management on Tuesday booked more profit in $Tesla(TSLA.US)$, selling 44,132 shares — estimated to be worth $50.7 million based on the latest closing price — in the electric vehicle maker's stock.

The Elon Musk-led company's stock, which had risen about 50% in 2021,  closed 4.2% lower at $1,149.6 a share on Tuesday. 

Tesla shares soared 13.5% on Monday after it reported fourth-quarter delivery volumes that far surpassed expectations.

The three ETFs held about 1.7 million shares worth $2.05 billion in Tesla, prior to Tuesday's trade.
